How Do You Connect Video Surveillance and Security Systems in Remote Areas?

More and more organizations today are seeking to install video cameras in remote locations to help them monitor operations from afar to ensure both safety and security. These organizations include police and fire departments in charge of public safety and homeland security, forest and public park services, businesses and shopping malls with anti-theft and security monitoring systems, or even news stations that need to provide around-the-clock video coverage of unfolding events.

Oftentimes, these organizations are being challenged to install video surveillance in remote locations that are physically hard to reach, or too expensive to reach via traditional leased lines or fiber. And when emergencies or news-breaking events arise, there simply may not be enough time to install landlines for video broadcast.

To meet the needs of organizations requiring real-time video surveillance capabilities, wireless broadband is the answer.

RAD’s Airmux-200 broadband wireless multiplexer offers a point-to-point solution that can be set up and deployed instantly. This solution transcends physical and geographical boundaries, and transmits real-time video and data from one remote location to an organization’s central or control office at distances of up to 80 km/50 miles.

Utilizing Airmux-200’s simple plug-and-play installation, organizations can easily set up a virtually unlimited number of units, even in the most difficult urban locations and rough terrains. Unlike wireline connections, Airmux-200 can be relocated and redeployed quickly to where they are needed – with no added expense.

Airmux-200 gives organizations the tools they need for remote video surveillance, for areas spanning a few square meters to areas encompassing thousands of square kilometers. Pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) command signals can also be relayed, enabling remote manipulation of dome surveillance cameras. Waterproof and resistant to the most extreme high and low temperatures, Airmux-200 can be installed in under a day to deliver the security and protection you need, when you need it.

Employing enhanced security mechanisms and a 128-bit key encryption scheme, Airmux-200 ensures that the surveillance information is always reliably and securely transmitted. This makes it suitable for sensitive government as well as private usage.

The Airmux-200 broadband wireless multiplexer answers the needs of a vast range of applications, including:

• Connection of CCTV cameras installed across a university campus, with high bandwidth video relay to the campus security office

• Surveillance of valuable transportation, power or utility installations in remote areas

• Remote observation of forests, enabling immediate detection and response to forest fires

• Monitoring of parks, lakes and rivers for environmental control and pollution prevention

• Temporary set up of video cameras to cover a local conflict or disaster scene for transmission to news stations around the world.
