Veracity has addressed the problems associated with inaccurate reference time signals for the synchronisation of system clocks within video surveillance recording equipment such as digital video recorders (DVRs) - with the introduction of TIMENET PoE.

Ensuring video surveillance is matched with accurate time is vital when submitting video evidence. Many DVR products, especially those which are PC-based, have inaccurate internal clocks which drift by many seconds per week. Video surveillance evidence which does not match with an accurate time reference can be easily dismissed in a court of law.

TIMENET PoE (Power over Ethernet) is the latest addition to its TIMENET series and can be powered using a PoE connection, with the unit certified to accept Class 1 PoE, making it simple to incorporate into a PoE-powered network and negating the need for a separate power supply connection. TIMENET PoE uses GPS satellite signals to receive NTP (Network Time Protocol) data; Veracity has improved the unit’s sensitivity to GPS signals to deliver accuracy to within one millisecond (one thousandth of a second).
