System Apparatus and Device for Facilitating Network Edge Device Backup and Methods of Operation Thereof

摘要

Disclosed is a system apparatus and device for facilitating the backup of network edge devices, such as video cameras, and methods of operation thereof. A monitoring circuit(s) may detect inoperable electrical power condition(s) (IEPC) on the power-line of a network edge device. Upon detection of an IEPC a backup power source may provide electrical power to the edge device. Upon detection of a connectivity fault between the edge device and its packet sink, a packet sink emulator may emulate a packet sink of the edge device. The disclosed system apparatus and device may be implemented as a SoC (System on Chip).

主权项

1. A System on Chip (SoC) for facilitating edge device backup, said SoC comprising:
an Integrated Circuit Power Supply Channel for receiving power from a PoE line; an Integrated Circuit Power Supply Channel for receiving power from a backup power source; a first Integrated Circuit Component on said backup power supply channel for preventing power from said PoE line supply channel, when supplying power, from traveling uplink towards the source of said backup power supply channel; and a second Integrated Circuit Component on said PoE line supply channel for preventing power from said backup power supply channel, when said PoE line supply channel is not supplying power, from traveling uplink towards the source of said PoE line supply channel.
