about
Any type of electronics need power to work. With no power there is no Electronics that will be running.
Depending on the urgency of the site we would usually advice to have backup power for the network, cameras and recording system with extra lighting protection. The size of the backup power all depend on the time that you expect the power outages or the time it will take you to start up alternative power source.
There is more than one power source that can be used, from you power company to Solar or Wind power.
With Solar systems it’s always better to have more power than needed and that the usage does not exceed more that 30% of the batteries capacity, depending on the type of batteries being used. The main reason for this is that your batteries will last longer, the more you drain the battery the shorter the life time of the battery.
Foundation
Having a strong network foundation is very important and all communications need to be stable for the best quality of the video stream or other services on the network.
With a Wi-Fi network, you can’t just put things down and hope they will work. There is a percentage of things that can give you problems.
It’s important to begin with the planning the network to give you a baseline of your layout with GPS coordinates
After there is a layout, we need to confirm with a visual site inspection to make sure there is not any buildings, trees or any other visual interference for the Wi-Fi network.
The next step is implementation and then we can check to see if there is any other type of interference from other Wi-Fi networks or we must go to main tower sites and do a test with devices for posable interference.
We create a custom solutions for every site we install and manage.
Selecting the correct camera for the correct functionality is not so difficult.
First, what do you want to do with cameras on your site?
Do you want to monitor or manage?
You can have monitoring functionality that will help with your security aspect with an intelligent algorithm that helps with false alarms and focusing on human and vehicle detection. These systems are not yet 100% accurate and there is still a possibility of missing something of importance like a person running fast past the camera. But the success rate also depends on the correct installation of these cameras, as per manufacture requirements. Remember with monitoring you’ll automatically get the management advantage that you will see what the people are doing also. These types of systems are also known as active systems and can also be called an active management system.
With management systems, you will be limited with its capabilities of just monitoring. As it will have too many or no notifications to help with monitoring and you or your monitoring company will stop focusing on the alarms. One big advantage is the pricing for cameras are cheaper as the more advance type, with AI of cameras for management.
