Opinion and Analysis

“RMCam comes standard with 2 x 12-bit analogue input which are expandable to 16 analog-in using a multiplexer. The unit also comes standard with 8 digital inputs and 4 relay outputs (2 outputs reserved for camera and lighting control), expandable to a total of 16 in and 8 out).” 

“An existing suite of compatible devices are available, these include:"

"Davis Weather Station
Campbell Scientific data logger
Bar Code Readers
Weight Scale and NLIS readers
Gate, Pump, irrigation and lighting control”

“The operating system, applications and user interface are server-side, meaning that a standard internet browser is all that is needed to access archived images, program camera presets or modify alarm settings such as phone, MMS and email addresses for event notification. A consequence of this configuration is that the user can review all data and settings from their own computer or any terminal where the operator happens to be within Australia or overseas.”

“The unit can be configured to provide wireless broadband internet coverage at the camera site.  Next G coverage will be augmented in areas of low coverage through an integrated satellite modem as an option from 2008.”

“The RMCam is a scaleable and expandable solution that offers flexibility to the end user in a self contained portable package.”
