Buying the “best” camera won’t fix poor placement. 📷 Angle, height, lighting, and field of view matter more than megapixels. A well-placed standard camera captures usable evidence; a poorly placed 4K camera doesn’t. Placement wins every time.
A square graphic with a light tan background. At the top is a red rounded rectangle banner with white text reading: “Thoroughly Explained Thursday”. Centered below, a bold heading reads: “Proper Camera Placement”. Below the heading is a paragraph of dark red text that reads: “A lot of organizations think that buying higher resolution cameras and/or more expensive cameras will be a big upgrade, but camera placement has a huge impact on the quality of your surveillance footage. Making sure that cameras are mounted at the right angles, don’t have blind spots, aren’t susceptible to glare or blinding lights, etc., go a long way towards making sure that the footage is clear and usable. We design surveillance systems to meet every organization’s specific needs, not camera manufacturers’.” At the bottom, a line of text reads: “Managed IT Services from CommPath combine advanced technology and excellent service.” In the lower right corner is the CommPath logo, consisting of the word “commpath” and a red square icon with the white letters “CP” inside.

🔧 Tech Tip Tuesday: Reserve static IPs for servers & printers. Dynamic IP changes cause outages, lost printer connections, and wasted time. Static or DHCP-reserved IPs keep critical systems reliable and easy to manage.
A beige background graphic with rounded shapes. At the top is a red rounded rectangle banner with white text reading: “Tech Tip Tuesday”. Below it, centered in dark red text, is the headline: “Reserve Static IP addresses” Under the headline is a paragraph of dark red text that reads: “When mission critical equipment like servers and printers have dynamically assigned IP addresses, they can go down unexpectedly. This means a less reliable network and frustration for users! Assigning important network-connected devices IP addresses makes sure they stay online and reachable when you need them most. CommPath takes the guess-work out of managing your network technology.” At the bottom of the text block, it reads: “Managed IT Services from CommPath combine advanced technology and excellent service.” In the bottom right corner is the CommPath logo, consisting of the word “commpath” in red and gray lowercase letters next to a red square icon with the white letters “CP” and a white arrow motif.

Tech Tip Tuesday: 🔐 Restart your firewall at least once every quarter. Many firmware security fixes don’t fully apply until a reboot. A planned restart helps ensure patches load cleanly, improves stability, and keeps protections working as intended.
A square graphic with a beige and light tan abstract background. At the top is a red rounded rectangle with white text reading: “Tech Tip Tuesday”. Below, large dark red text reads: “Restart Your Router At Least Once A Quarter”. Smaller dark red paragraph text reads: “Firewall vendors release updates and security fixes regularly, but some of them won’t take effect until after a system restart. It’s important that every organization not only do the updates, but schedule restarts on a regular basis. At least every 90 days is a good starting point. Proactive security means making time for preventative maintenance. Companies that don’t schedule the restart risk unscheduled downtime!” At the bottom, dark red text reads: “Managed IT Services from CommPath combine advanced technology and excellent service.” In the lower right corner is the Commpath logo with the word “commpath” and a red CP icon.

📞 Fun Fact Friday:The first VoIP call happened in 1974 over the ARPANET. Two-way voice became possible once Linear Predictive Coding compressed speech to just 2.4 kbps, the foundation of modern VoIP.
Graphic titled “Fun Fact Friday.” Text reads: “The first VoIP call was placed in 1974 between Culler-Harrison Incorporated in Goleta, California and MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, Massachusetts, over the ARPANET. One-way transmission of audio using voice packets was achieved a year earlier by Danny Cohen, but bandwidth limited the ability to have two-way calls until a technology called Linear Predictive Coding, a compression algorithm for encoded speech, was used to compress the voice transmission to only 2.4 kbps of bandwidth.” Below the text is a photograph of the control panel of an IBM 360 mainframe computer used to develop compression algorithms for LPC. CommPath logo appears in the bottom-right corner.

Software updates aren’t about new features: they’re about security. Most cyberattacks exploit known flaws in unpatched systems. Regular updates close hidden vulnerabilities and reduce the risk of breaches, ransomware, and downtime.

Encryption turns readable data into secure code so only authorized users can access it. It protects data in transit, at rest, and supports compliance, but it’s just one layer of real security. Encryption works best as part of a complete strategy.
A graphic with a beige background and a faint circular lock icon. At the top, a red banner reads: “Thoroughly Explained Thursday”. Below, a heading says: “What is ‘Encryption’:” The main text reads: “Encryption is part of the foundation of any secure network. Essentially, it uses sophisticated mathematical algorithms to ‘encrypt’ your data into an unreadable form that only the intended recipients can then ‘decrypt’. It protects your data both while ‘at rest’ (e.g., saved on a computer’s internal storage, or ‘in the cloud’) and ‘in transit’ (the lock icon in the URL bar indicates when a connection to a website is secured by encryption). Encryption is an essential part of any secure computer and network.” At the bottom, smaller text reads: “Managed IT Services from CommPath combine advanced technology and excellent service.” The CommPath logo appears in the lower right corner, with the word “commpath” and a red CP icon.

Tech Tip Tuesday: Network segmentation boosts security by isolating devices and traffic. If one system is compromised, the threat can’t spread. It also improves monitoring, compliance, and uptime. A smarter network is a safer network.
Graphic with a red header reading “Tech Tip Tuesday.” Below, a section titled “Network Segmentation for Security.” Body text reads: “Segmenting your network, dividing it into isolated ‘segments’, is a foundational security strategy that can improve your network speed, security, and monitoring all at the same time. Instead of everything being able to communicate freely with everything else connected to your network, a network security gateway/router can enforce strict rules at the network-level where it’s mission critical. Balance security and performance with comprehensive security strategies from CommPath. Managed IT Services from CommPath combine advanced technology and excellent service.” Bottom of the image includes the CommPath name and logo.

In 1977, Digital Equipment Corporation launched the VAX, a powerful 32-bit computer line that built on the PDP-11 while staying backward-compatible. VAX stood for Virtual Address eXtension, and its developer-friendly design helped shape modern computing. Big ideas, big cabinets.
