A robust internet connection is not just a \u2018nice to have\u2019 \u2013 it is critical to ensure all your sites (no matter how remote) are secure, protected, accessible, and always connected. With an automatic failover activating immediately upon loss of the primary connection, you have peace of mind that your CCTV system is always secure, whilst ensuring you never lose access to your real time HD footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The i-ctrl, with its unique automatic failover functionality, enables you to combine internet connections (including 4G\/5G & Starlink) to eliminate outages, improve network security and many other business critical benefits, in all locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Automatic failover is the term that describes the process of automatically switching to a backup internet provider if there is an outage on your primary internet connection. By having the ability to combine multiple internet connections using the i-ctrl, an issue with your primary connection will not affect your ability to access your CCTV system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The i-ctrl software continually checks that it has a connection from the CPE to the Netcelero core network via a \u201ckeep-alive\u201d. If the keep-alive detects an outage of more than 15 seconds on your primary connection, it will automatically failover to the backup connection. The automatic failover process keeps the static IP address, so from a remote location you see a brief drop, rather than a change in IP address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the primary connection returns after about 30-60 seconds, the tunnel automatically fails back to the primary connection. This means that even in the event a fixed line is vandalised, constant live streaming continues, as the internet connection seamlessly fails over to the back up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simply insert any SIMs from any network you choose and\/or connect any DSL or fibre router to the i-ctrl and instantly receive a static public IPV4 address which sits across the multiple connections. The i-ctrl transforms any internet connection, even just two standard 4G SIMs, into a secure, resilient, diverse communications path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The i-ctrl pathway enables you to access every connected device on site, remotely \u2013 i-ctrl users say it is like having an engineer in the palm of their hand. The i-ctrl device is instantly deployable and secure, delivering an automatic failover, with selectable levels of firewall protection, to ensure always-on connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netcelero is a trusted provider of secure, reliable connectivity solutions for remote CCTV monitoring companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our easy-to-deploy i-ctrl solution creates a secure communications path, providing resilient and reliable access to any onsite hardware. We facilitate full control and visibility of connectivity at any site, regardless of location or environment, and we help monitoring companies to overcome many major challenges that they are faced with, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Automatic failover is an important function for critical systems such as CCTV monitoring that require continuous access to the onsite video data in real time. Internet Service Provides (ISP\u2019s) are not immune from cyber-attacks such as DDoS attacks. In fact, the UK\u2019s National Cyber Security Centre (NSCS) recently updated its guidance advising firms to build resilience and stay ahead of potential threats to critical national infrastructure \u2013 such as telecommunications \u2013 citing specific vulnerabilities Russian hackers have been known to exploit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CCTV managed service providers are being urged to bolster cybersecurity resilience in case of malicious incidents, but many are not heeding this warning. By using Netcelero and a secondary broadband connection, you have automatic failover between your diverse connections, thus reducing the risk of being locked out of your CCTV network due to an outage with an ISP who has been affected by a cyber security breach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
