Applications and System Design

Application:
Remote camera (optionally PTZ) with no physical network connection to be viewed on a PC. EXAMPLE: A parking lot camera needs to be viewed inside the building. Only power is available at the camera site, no additional cabling.

Solution:
Standard CCTV camera is connected to an encoder, typically an MPEG-4 device for bandwidth efficiency reasons.  The encoder digitally compresses the signal into IP, and send it via the wireless transmitter (technically a transceiver) for transmission across the 900 MHz point-to-point wireless connection.

The receiver converts the 900 MHz wireless signal back into IP and sends it via CAT-5 to the recipient, in this case a PC running a standard web browser program (such as Windows Internet Explorer or Netscape) or Bosch VMS software.

Notes:

1. Optionally the transmitter/receiver could have connected two switches, and so the connection could be share by multiple encoders.
2. Control the frame rate and CIF resolution settings to avoid exceeding the 1.5 Mbps (Megabits per second) bandwidth limitation.
3. The most efficient encoder is one of the VIP X or VideoJet X series such as the VideoJet X10 SN, and the corresponding analog decoder for optional viewing on an analog/VGA monitor is the VIP XD.
4. For added security consider a pair of transceivers that incorporate secret keys so that nobody can decode the signal even if they intercept it.
