WHO THEY ARE
About Barox.
barox Kommunikation AG is a Swiss manufacturer of Ethernet switches, media converters and IP extenders engineered specifically for video surveillance and security networks. Founded in Baden in 1998 by Angelo Banfi and Rudolf Rohr, with a second site in Lörrach, Germany, the company is ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 27001 certified and is known for high-power PoE, fibre transmission and switches that stay reliable under continuous video load.
The portfolio spans 19-inch rack, DIN-rail and compact switches, industrial 10 Gigabit PoE models, media converters, SFP modules and the DMS and xNMS management software, with certified integrations into Milestone, Genetec, Gallagher, Hanwha Vision, Dallmeier and Network Optix platforms. That makes barox relevant to critical-infrastructure operators, oil and gas sites, airports and smart-city projects in the Middle East that need resilient, manageable video networks.

LATEST SOLUTIONS
The portfolio, today.
Industrial Ethernet Switches
Ruggedised KN-LGIPR series switches, including the 24-port 10 Gb KN-LGIPR38-28AD, built for temperature extremes and harsh sites such as refineries, tunnels, ports and rail infrastructure.
Media Converters and Extenders
Fibre media converters such as the industrial PC-MC101-GE, plus UTP and coax IP extenders, bridge long distances and legacy cabling, with newer models adding cable-break detection and remote PoE reboot.
DMS Device Management System
Monitoring tool that surfaces switch, port and PoE health inside video management and PSIM platforms, so operators see network faults in the same console as cameras and alarms.
xNMS Network Management
Software platform launched in 2026 for discovery, topology visualisation, pre-delivery configuration and lifecycle management of barox networks, available in free and paid editions for large or critical installations.
AI FOCUS
ALJAMMAZ AI LAYERReliable network foundations for AI-driven video analytics
barox does not position itself as an AI vendor; its contribution is the deterministic, high-throughput network layer that AI video analytics depend on. Modern surveillance increasingly streams to cloud and on-premises analytics engines, and barox switches are optimised for sustained multi-camera traffic, PoE stability and low latency so that analytics receive complete, uninterrupted video.
The company is applying AI to customer experience and operations: in 2026 it introduced an AI Product Advisor on its website that guides planners to the right switch or converter around the clock, and its new xNMS platform automates network discovery, topology mapping and configuration validation before hardware ships, reducing commissioning errors on large projects.
- AI Product Advisor for round-the-clock digital product selection
- xNMS automated network discovery and topology visualisation
- Switches sized for sustained AI analytics video traffic
- Integrated network diagnostics inside VMS and access-control platforms

Recent announcements.
barox launches xNMS network management software
barox released xNMS, a platform that centralises configuration, management and maintenance of video and security networks, with intelligent discovery, graphical topology and virtual pre-configuration of switches before delivery, in free and paid editions.
AI Product Advisor offers round-the-clock guidance
barox introduced an AI-based product advisor on its website that interprets a project's requirements and recommends suitable switches, converters and extenders, giving planners and integrators digital consultation at any hour.
Gallagher Command Centre integration for network diagnostics
A new integration brings barox switch monitoring and diagnostics into Gallagher Command Centre so security operators see network health alongside access-control events; a Hanwha Vision integration followed at The Security Event in April.
New media converters with cable-break detection
barox released media converters that detect cable breaks and can reboot connected devices remotely through PoE, reducing site visits for camera faults on fibre-connected installations.
