International sales and marketing director Sara Bullock told SMT Online: “AMG Systems has built a very strong customer base in India, and we’re continuing to see an increase in projects from a market which is clearly growing.”
The company has recently expanded its local team and IFSEC India represents a unique opportunity for AMG Systems in terms of meeting new and existing clients and partners and discussing their requirements.
“We’ve also been invited to give a seminar presentation,” added Bullock.
The presentation is entitled ‘The Technologies and Topologies of CCTV Transmission Networks’ and will be given by AMG’s technical support manager Roy Cummings.
Transmission: often the overlooked element
“Transmission is often the overlooked element in large security and surveillance projects,” suggested Cummings. “We believe the reason that the transmission element is often less talked about – although it’s a pre-condition for the systems operation and efficiency – may be due to the fact it’s rather taken for granted that a transmission network will be available and because it is considered less ‘sexy’ than, for example, a new camera.”
Cummings feels that, because the transmission network is not immediately visible (ie the cables that carry the signals are buried, and the transmitters and receivers are often just ‘black boxes’ which either feed into a rack in the Control Room in the case of the receiver, or are installed somewhere close to, or even integrated with the camera housing) all you really see is a cable with a connector.
“However, it should be pointed out that the right choice of transmission technology can facilitate cost savings and help future proof a solution,” continued Cummings. “It’s necessary to think long term and strategically when you design the transmission network solution, especially when it comes to WANs and observation-critical networks such as traffic management or wide area perimeter applications”.
AMG: showing many transmission solutions at IFSEC India
AMG will be showcasing the following transmission solutions at IFSEC India:
Guardian-Lite 3700
AMG’s flagship transmission series which has won wide acclaim around the globe. Many large reference projects such as the traffic management solution for Dublin City Centre and surrounding motorways, several traffic management and toll road projects in India, Dublin’s Light Rail ‘The LUAS’ and the UK Highways Agency’s NRTS project all rely on the 3700 transmission technology.
The new state-of-the-art Hindhead Tunnel in south east England will also use the 3700 series for the CCTV transmission.
Guardian-Lite 4700
Designed for low cost, multi-channel, point-to-point video transmission over single mode fibre. Together with associated Ethernet, low speed data and audio signals this transmission series is plug-and-play and easy to install.
Reference projects include two in Arad Bay in Bahrain, several large-scale shopping malls and the prestigious Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar.
Vision 5000
AMG recently launched “the world’s most sophisticated single channel transmitter” as part of an enhancement to the 5000 series.
In addition to high resolution video at 728 TV lines, the transmitter – which is as small as the size of your palm (55 x 55 x 26 mm) and weighs in at only 150 g – can now achieve transmission distances in excess of 7 km on multimode fibre (Vision 5600) and more than 40 km with the Vision 5700 singlemode version.
AMG 9000 Series
A new and innovative range of ruggedized Ethernet switches.
The 9000 series has specifically been designed to meet the high reliability requirements for rugged outdoor and harsh industrial environments with extended temperature requirements.
Perfectly suited to the environmental conditions found in many places across India.
Skywave
AMG’s analogue and digital wireless transmission product series offering transmission distances up to 10 km and suitable for global use.
Skywave enables wireless connection of CCTV cameras to monitoring and recording equipment as well as licence exempt operation in the 5.8 GHz band (compliant with R&TTE directive).
It also offers six channels (three non-interfering) and is switch selectable. Skywave has a digital (alarm) channel option and an audio channel or second alarm channel option.
