According to the RMCam website, RMCam is a “vision-based, wireless monitoring and control solution with on board and remote PIR motion sensors and remote IR lighting options.”
Taking into account the fact that remote regional areas may not have a power point nearby, the RMCam can be “mains or solar powered and operates over the Next-G/Next-IP networks, and does not require any fixed infrastructure, allowing for complete self-installation.”
“The unit and all peripherals can be moved from site-to-site as often as the need arises - all that is needed is a pole (or any other existing structure) to mount the unit to.”
The site continues that: “For any business that needs to monitor mobile assets such as machinery, hardware and equipment, RMCam can move with plant and be activated when the equipment is unattended. Similarly, RMCam can be installed in a permanent location that has no power or internet connectivity.”
“The system can be configured with either a fixed IP Network camera with 26x optical zoom, or 340 degree horizontal Pan, 100 degree vertical tilt with 26x optical zoom. These cameras are supplied from a leading manufacturer with full manufacturer’s warranty.”
“Event driven alarm functions are standard on the unit and available as options using remote wireless solar PIR stations up to 4 kilometres (line-of-sight) from the unit. Events will direct the camera to start taking images and send samples to the operator via MMS, email or direct from the server. Events can also alert the operator with an SMS to mobile numbers so they can log onto their server space and review images.”
“Aside from alarm events, the camera can be set with up to 30 preset positions and perform routine preset patrol image collection on allocated time intervals. These images can be reviewed in a movie sequence on-line or submitted directly to the user via RSS feed. Storage space on the server allows for the reviewing of images at any time by the user.”
