Single-Point Grounding

The "Single-Point Grounding" Principle for Security System Safety Design

1.Basic Concept of “Single-Point Grounding” Single-point grounding refers to a configuration in which the main system host is connected to earth at one single point, while all remote devices—including cameras and other equipment—must remain electrically insulated from earth. Specifically, “single-po
