The Evolution of Intelligent Security

Intelligent security refers to the informatization of safety services, image transmission, and data storage technologies. The popularization of the Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed traditional security protection into integrated urban systems.

Modern security applications now take into account:

Overall City Management: Comprehensive monitoring for public safety.
Traffic Systems: The Internet of Vehicles enables faster tracking, accident handling, and theft prevention.
Environmental Monitoring: Sensors for gas leaks, smoke detection, and weather conditions.
Emergency Command: Integrated systems for rapid response coordination.

Critical Challenges in Security Electronics

Security devices often operate in challenging environments where failure is not an option. PCBs for this industry must overcome specific hurdles:

24/7 Continuous Operation: Surveillance systems and servers run non-stop, requiring PCBs with excellent thermal management and durability.
Harsh Outdoor Conditions: Cameras and sensors exposed to rain, humidity, and temperature extremes need robust surface finishes and potential conformal coating.
Signal Integrity: High-definition (HD) and 4K video transmission require impedance-controlled boards to prevent data loss or image artifacts.
Miniaturization: Smart locks and wearable security devices demand high-density interconnect (HDI) designs to fit compact form factors.

Products and Applications of Security PCBs

NextPCB supports a wide range of intelligent security products across various sectors:

1. Common Smart Security Products

Surveillance: Smart cameras (IP cameras), Infrared electronic walls, NVR/DVR hosts.
