USS Announces 
Incremental IP Upgrades  
for Cost Control 
 
 
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., (April 2, 2015) - To help businesses using 
existing analog LP systems, USS has announced that it is intensifying its 
efforts to bring them into the IP fold. To do this, USS unveiled a program that 
allows incremental upgrades of extant analog systems to new IP technology. The 
measured-conversion strategy will help businesses control costs and better 
schedule around the upgrade process. 
 
“With the scope of the benefits our IP solutions provide, most businesses think 
the work and costs that go into a system conversion are daunting” noted Gerald 
Becker, USS’ vice president of Physical Security, “but we can go in and replace 
just some parts now and some at a later date, and still give them a system that 
works seamlessly all throughout the process.” 
 
Becker stated that this incremental migration process is made possible by IP’s 
flexibility, and the system’s performance and capabilities dramatically increase 
at each stage of the upgrade. “Any LP team with a limited budget but an eye 
toward the future can start small by having the old coaxial cable runs replaced 
with high-speed Cat5 cable using special converters,” Becker stated. “They’ll be 
able to operate their old cameras on these new lines, and whenever they’re ready 
to start switching out cameras and components for IP models, we can do so at 
their pace.”
