Thermal cameras operate in zero light conditions

Thermal with Analytics

Thermal cameras are a good option to consider for an intrusion detection system. Thermal imaging cameras do not require any additional lighting systems as they detect and deliver heat signatures from humans, vehicles or other objects. Thermal cameras work in situations like heavy fog/snow/rain that a visual camera might miss.

Point-to-point wireless camera system

Pair of Radios for Point-to-Point Wireless Link

A wireless camera system often uses a point-to-point wireless system. Distances up to 20 miles are possible using high-powered radios with dish antennas. Best performance requires operating in the 5.8Ghz spectrum with clear line of sight between sending and receiving radios. Alternative frequencies are 2.4Ghz or 900Mhz, which can penetrate some degree of obstructions (trees, walls, etc.).

Notes:

• A point-to-point wireless system requires a minimum of 1 pair of radios, 1 to send video and 1 to receive video. The receiving radio (also referred to as gateway radio or gateway node) is most often located at a facility that has high-speed internet service, which allows live or recorded video to be accessed from any internet enabled device.
• Systems may be accessed directly with an IP address with proper credentials, through a video management system or with Apps downloaded to Apple or Android devices.
• Due to their unique codec and internal ring-buffer system, Mobotix cameras are particularly friendly to point-to-point wireless, 3G and 4G LTE environments with variable and unpredictable upstream bandwidth. The buffering system allows Mobotix cameras to recover from temporary interruptions or slowdowns in upstream connectivity by storing compressed image data in the buffer until the upstream connection is restored.

Satellite System

Satellite camera system

If wireless or cellular service is not available at your project location, you may want to consider using a satellite system. Satellite systems will work in most locations that lack cellular coverage.

Go to camera location, retrieve video directly from camera

If you don’t have any type of remote communications available, a couple options to retreive video are:

• Run cat5-e shielded cable down pole to a “J” box with ethernet port installed, plug cable into port to retrieve video
• Install wireless access point at this location to access video via your laptop when within 200′ of camera location

Night time operations

Cameras require some light in order to operate at night. If there is zero light they won’t function. Some lighting options to consider are:

AXIS Q1765-LE with IR

Cameras with IR lighting built-in

Cameras with built-in IR LEDs are capable of delivering light to about 100′ maximum distance, although some PTZ cameras have IR lighting that is useful to up to 500′.

LED infrared, white or hybrid of infrared/white light

LED lighting systems offer the most flexibility and performance and are available in infrared light (IR), white light or hybrid of IR and white.

RayTec Vario IP

Raytec VARIO IP PoE series of network illuminators are fully IP controllable designed for all camera applications and general area illumination. VARIO IP offers the ultimate flexibility in terms of power input including both PoE (at standard PoE+) or low voltage (12/24V DC).

VARIO IP lighting provides remote access for quick and easy set up, commissioning operation and maintenance of your lighting scheme. Each VARIO IP illuminator has an integrated web interface enabling users to configure, manage and instantly control large lighting installations, from anywhere on the network.

SD card onboard camera storage

Most of our camera systems can store images and video clips on-board the camera with an industrial grade 256GB SD Micro Card

Embedded fanless industrial computer with SSD drives

Another option to consider for a stand-alone camera system is to run a video management system (VMS) and storage on an embedded fanless industrial computer with solid state drives (SSD). This requires an outdoor rated NEMA enclosure to provide protection from the elements, and increases the system cost due to additional components and related increase in power requirements.

Hot Swap 2-Bay NAS

NAS or Windows server located at receiving end of point-to-point wireless link

If you have a point-to-point wireless system, the camera can send video to a NAS or Windows server at the receiving end where internet connection and gateway radio is located.

Off-site storage

Images and video clips can be sent to a server at a different location or “in the cloud”. The limitations for this method are available bandwidth if using 4G/LTE communications.

Passive infrared sensors (PIR)

Long Range PIR

Passive infrared sensors are useful for detecting intrusions which can then be investigated with cameras (fixed or PTZ models). PIR sensors can be wireless, require very little power and can detect a human in zero light conditions at up to 400′ distance.

We can integrate ANY SENSOR TYPE into our systems.

IP Access Control

Access Controls for Remote Locations

Monitor and control doors, gates, storage units and cabinets with IP based access controls.

Ideal for solar powered projects due to low power requirement.

Loudspeaker to amplify volume

Add an  amplifier installed in NEMA 4X enclosure with 1 or more loudspeakers to deliver sound any distance for talking live or playing recording messages.

Strobe Lights

Add strobe lights to warn away intruders, alert staff when specified events have occurred.

Instant Response with 24/7 Central Station Monitoring Service

When your security system detects an intrusion at your property, our 24/7/365 central station monitoring service confirms with live cameras what is happening in real time and if action is required.

A verified video alarm is a PRIORITY ONE RESPONSE from the police, it is a verified “crime in progress”.

24/7 Central Station Monitoring Service

If an unauthorized intrusion has occurred, the police can be dispatched or our trained guards will speak directly to the intruders through the loudspeaker system to warn them off your property before than can do any damage. Other warning devices such as high intensity strobe lights and sirens may be activated to further escalate the response.

Snapshots and video clips of trespassers on your property will be instantly sent to you, police or others for action, investigation and prosecution.

Battery back up power systems

Batteries charged by AC power

Batteries are charged by AC power at night, eliminating the need for solar panels.

Consider battery powered camera systems for parking lots or highways where AC power is on at night for lighting, AC power is off during daylight hours.

As an alternative to solar power, parking lots or highways with AC power to pole mounted lights can be equipped with battery back up power systems. This system replaces the solar array for charging the battery bank.

The 12V DC batteries are charged at night when AC power is delivered to the lights, the batteries power the cameras and related subsystems during the day and night. 12V DC power is converted to 48 volt or other voltages with PoE injectors to power cameras and other devices.

Power where you need it

The colder the weather, the better TEG’s work!

Runs on natural gas, propane or butane.

Thermoelectric Generators (TEG’s) are designed to run on either natural gas, propane or butane. They range in output size from 5 to 550 watts. TEGs are very reliable, due to the fact that they have no moving parts. Rugged system designs, making them ideal for long-term unattended operation in remote locations that may be exposed to harsh weather conditions or where site visits are difficult.

Some common applications include:

Thermoelectric Generator

• Oil or gas pipelines
• Well sites
• Offshore platforms
• Telecommunications sites
• Well automation
• Monitoring equipment
• Communications systems

How do thermoelectric generators work?

Thermoelectric generators are solid-state heat engines that operate according to the Seebeck effect – a theory that claims a temperature difference across thermoelectric material can be converted directly into electrical power.

Fuel cells provide reliable off-grid power, produce power 24/7 in any weather, climate or season.

Consider fuel cells as an alternative to solar power or working in conjunction with a solar electric power system.

Fuel Cells

Easy installation, theft and vandal proof
Fuel cells are lightweight, compact and can easily be installed into existing cabinets and outdoor boxes. When installed inside a suitable enclosure, the EFOY Pro fuel cell is safe from theft or vandalism.
