VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol). This technology allows to make voice call using broadband internet connection instead of regular phone line. It is used for the delivery of high range voice communications as well as multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP).
PSTN or Public Switched Telephone Network refers to a telecommunications network which allows voice communication between people at different sites.PSTN works by using underground copper wires that are hardwired from homes and businesses to switching centers—where the phone calls are connected to each other.
DVR or NVR are two types of video recording security systems. DVR stands for Digital Video Recorder, whereas NVR stands for Network Video Recorder. Though both systems are responsible for video recording, they differ in the way they process video data.
DVR systems process the video data at the recorder, whereas NVR systems encode and process the video data at the camera, then stream it to the NVR recorder which is used for storage and remote viewing. These devices require different types of cameras. Most NVRs are used with IP cameras whereas DVRs are used with analog cameras, and, it is important to note that a DVR based system is a wired security system, whereas NVR systems can be a wired or wireless system.
Cable and fiber are both reliable internet connections and can reach up to gigabit speeds (1,000Mbps), but fiber is better for delivering the fastest speeds, especially for upload bandwidth. It’s also less prone to high-traffic slowdowns than cable is.
However, fiber availability is still limited, but if you do have access to fiber internet in your area, it’s the better choice over cable because it offers equally fast uploads and downloads.
If you don’t need the extra speed, cable is still a great way to go. It’s more widely available, uses existing cable TV lines, and is often cheaper than fiber.
A mesh network is a type of local network in which the individual devices (called nodes) within the infrastructure connect directly, dynamically and non-hierarchically to as many other nodes as possible, cooperating with one another to create one virtual network thatcan efficiently route data between clients.
The nodes are important in efficiently delivering WiFi, as each node serves as a “daisy chain” for other nodes in the system. Nodes communicate with one another in order to determine the fastest band for your devices, and to reroute traffic in the event that one node fails with its self-healing technology.
