whitepaper Grand Canyon Skywalk Secures Spectacular Tourist Attraction Via Satellite Connection With D-Link IP Surveillance Solution2009-03-06 D-Link
  The Grand Canyon Skywalk needed a video surveillance solution to monitor visitors and retail operations at their Grand Canyon glass walkway. The location includes retail shops, gift shops, a photo department and ticketing facilities. The site would need to be monitored remotely from their operations center in Las Vegas, Nevada, which is approximately 260 miles away. The Skywalk team looked at some cameras from a D-Link competitor but quickly dismissed the option because they lacked PoE capabilities. With PoE, one can place cameras anywhere they like, as long as they have access to Ethernet wiring. The D-Link IP surveillance solution helps the Grand Canyon Skywalk monitor and review incidents with ease, clarity and accuracy.
