Overview
1.1 Introduction
The new Zip range of IP cameras and NVRs has been designed with the CCTV
installer and end-user in mind; it’s simple to fit and very easy to use. Picture quality is
superb with the Zip NVR range being able to record up to 4K.
Easy Fit CCTV
If you are looking to fit an IP CCTV system that really is about as easy as it can get
the ZIP IP system is for you. If you buy the ZIP IP cameras and ZIP PoE NVR, the
NVR will power the cameras down the CAT5/6 cable saving you the need or
inconvenience of a separate PSU for the cameras. This makes for an easy, rapid
installation that both looks neat and is effortless.
Types of NVR
There are two types of Zip NVR, a Power over Ethernet model “PoE” that powers
your IP cameras directly and a lower cost non-PoE model.
Typically you would use the non-PoE model where you cannot directly connect your
Zip IP cameras to the Zip NVR e.g on a large existing corporate network that you are
piggybacking onto. In this case, because the PoE will not go through an existing
network to power the Zip camera, the PoE switch becomes redundant so the non-
PoE model saves you money.
Not only does the Zip PoE NVR power your cameras it will autodetect Zip IP PoE
cameras and auto-configures them for you. So you do not have the issue of having to
individually set new IP settings to match those of the router. Of course you can still do
this manually if you switch off this autodetect (Switch) function or if you are not adding
