Outdoor Wireless IP infrastructure "when do you use it" ?

It is now official CCTVAustralia can now quote & install Commercial Outdoor Wireless camera systems when it comes to IP cameras. After many years of cable battles with certain infrastructure elements CCTVAustralia can now implement a complete Surveillance system with indoor & outdoor cameras using Digital Wireless antenna infrastructure. As a company we have searched & observed this type of technology and have finally found what we are looking for. The main reason for using this method when as a last resort Wireless can transmit the camera footage back to the location of the NVR recorder without the need of cabling. This can save many thousands of dollars on those extremely difficult cable installs.

The most difficult situations usually arise with long distance areas that need Surveillance cameras spread out
like Caravan parks, Large playgrounds, large open areas to name a few. The objective of the antenna is to make sure that they have a line of sight so that they can see each other as it is important to make sure that the signal being transmitted will have no interference along it`s travelling distance. If trees and building are in the way then this can be a problem so the initial plan is to make the infrastructure avoid these problems. One way of diverting trees and building in between the line of site is to have another access point antenna in a area that can be seen by the front & back end being some what in the middle to transmit the Video footage back to the NVR recorder.

This type of technology will only work with IP Cameras which can use megapixel resolution giving you clearer pictures compared to the old analogue systems. The frequency with which we use the wireless is at 2.4Ghz which can be adapted through the software to change to a slightly different band to help stop any interference. If the area has already much wireless infrastructure then no problem we can introduce 5Ghz to eliminate this problem all together. So if you feel that you have no hope of installing a surveillance system and you have already been quoted ridiculous amounts of money by using the traditional method I advise that you give us a call and we will be more than happy to assist with a proposal to help solve your Digital Surveillance problem.

3G Alarm Camera with Self Monitoring "What is IT" ?

At CCTVAustralia we have been testing this technology now for over 3 years it has taken this long to finally present our newest Quality model that will last and have total support from our company. After many years of testing similar products and frustration we finally came to the current model the 3GCam Video alarm camera which will protect your premises as well report to you when anything happens.

The function of this device is unique as it uses a Sim card inside the main PIR Detector Which also has a
camera for remote viewing. The actual PIR Camera has a sensor built inside of it and it will automatically
respond if activated by calling you up on the Phone which has to be a Samsung Galaxy Model to receive the full benefits of viewing a Video Call and text detection to your mobile telephone. The Sim card used has to be without any message bank function otherwise the device will not communicate properly.

Apart from the Video calling and Text messaging this unit can give you up to 10 Wireless devices attached. The Wireless devices include Key Fob Remotes, PIR Sensors for room detection door and window Reid switch a Keypad and a Siren. The unit will support up to ten of these devices which is very exciting to the fact that you can have a full alarm system without any of the monitoring fees and you can Video call any time to see what is happening at the premises. Another bonus is the Audio capabilty as you can hear and also speak in to your phone to warn off intruders and the 3G Alarm Camera will recieve audio in real time.

In conclusion this is by far the best 3G camera i have tested and apart from the functions I have listed there is also more options to control the system via your mobile phone. You can turn on & off your alarm system via your mobile phone through a text message or you can get a remote key fob which is easy to use. The Keypad also gives you the option to have up to 6 users on the panel so in fact this would be ideal for small offices to medium sized buildings and houses yes security technology is evolving and our company is proud to present this product for your convenience.
