I think Hillstone is probably the only firewall that's able to monitor traffic from a CCTV network. A lot of properties today are protected by CCTV cameras, so most of them are IP based. They plug them into to the switch and for most of these cameras, they receive and send data images back to the CCTV network. Normally, a firewall can't detect these kinds of networks because it's blinded by that section.
A firewall is a device used for network security. It monitors network traffic (both incoming and outgoing) and then, based on a set of security rules, either permits or blocks data packets.
