When Cameras Get Smarter, Networks Must Get Stronger (Fiber-First Security) | BICSI Winter 2026

This is a partial recording from the Fiber-Driven Security: Building Smarter, Safer Infrastructure session at BICSI Winter 2026. As IT, OT, and physical security converge, edge devices (cameras, access, sensors) are doing more—higher resolutions, multi-imagers, thermal, and on-device analytics. The bottleneck isn’t “can we connect it?” anymore. It’s can we power it, secure it, and scale it—over real distances—without adding complexity. In this clip, Xander Alexander (Motorola Solutions | Pelco) and Gayla Arendelle + Katherine Aschbeck (Corning Optical Communications, Enterprise Networks) break down a fiber-first approach to edge connectivity, including hybrid fiber + power strategies, media conversion at the edge, and ruggedized pre-terminated deployment concepts. ‪@PelcoVideo‬ ‪@corningcablesystems‬ Key takeaways: • The bandwidth / power / distance triangle installers fight in the field • Why fiber + remote power becomes “table stakes” for modern edge security • Cleaner designs with fewer closets/IDFs and easier scale • Where this shows up: campuses, parking lots, perimeters, industrial sites, airports Supercharge what you already have. Just add Pelco. Get the extra edge at the edge. Chapters 0:00 Intro — Fiber-Driven Security 0:06 Meet the presenters 1:01 Xander: convergence → “operational intelligence” 2:30 The real question now: power + secure + scale 3:13 The edge shift: camera as sensor/mini-server 4:27 From “seeing” to “deciding”: analytics workload examples 5:28 “Camera gets smarter, network gets stronger” 5:36 Outcomes: uptime, response, efficiency, compliance 6:07 Why designs stall in the field (bandwidth/power/distance) 7:20 The “triangle” installers fight every day 8:25 Fiber becomes table stakes for modern security 9:49 The “iceberg”: what’s under the pole 10:14 Hand-off to Gayla + Katherine 10:28 Gail: copper → fiber attach (and why) 11:31 3 applications overview: remote power, pre-term, sensing 13:53 Option 1: hybrid fiber + remote power + media converters 15:31 Where it shows up: lots, airports, industrial sites 17:11 Key components: hybrid cable, centralized power, PoE at edge 20:00 Case study: auto plant (Wi-Fi + cameras over 2,000 ft) 21:22 Perimeter intrusion detection + high PoE budgets 21:55 Multi-sensor perimeter stacks + future-proofing 24:49 Option 2: pre-terminated “plug-and-play” fiber 26:01 Harsh environments + skilled labor shortage 32:12 “LEGO approach”: hardened connectors + terminals (IP68) 35:22 Example savings: TCO + faster installation 36:31 Q&A: indoor/outdoor, riser, LSZH, plenum cable ratings 38:33 Teaser: fiber optic sensing
