Compro says that with 3G wireless connectivity, its cameras offer lower cabling costs and simpler installation, as deploying 3G wireless cameras does not require building and maintaining network infrastructures or WiFi hotspots.
And unlike installing cameras with WiFi or wired Internet connection, the installation site of 3G cameras is not subject to the availability of WiFi hotpots or Ethernet ports, the company says.
Compro believes 3G cameras offers true flexibility in terms of installation and mobility, and it is introducing 3G enabled indoor box and outdoor bullet cameras.
The indoor box camera features VGA resolution, H.264, D/N, etc., and the new 3G capability will help get rid of cluttered cables and make relocation of the camera, whenever necessary, relatively easy, according to Compro.
Compro says: “The outdoor bullet camera is also getting the 3G treatment. The added 3G support means the outdoor bullet camera can be conveniently installed in locations where network cabling is too difficult, expensive, or invasive to install, or where WiFi signals are not accessible, such as beaches, temporary venues, ancient buildings, etc.
“That said, 3G capability will make the VGA, H.264, D/N network bullet camera even better suited for outdoor use.”
Video server
Compro’s 4-channel D1 video server will also undergo a 3G make over. The video server supports 4-CH H.264 encoding at full D1 resolution and at a total of 120 FPS. The wide-area coverage of 3G networks make server ideal for applications in mobility surveillance, the company claims.
“In the case of public transportation, bus companies can outfit their fleets with analogue cameras and a 3G-enabled video server to provide real-time mobility surveillance,” Compro says.
“The video server can record and locally store video evidence of road accidents or unruly passenger behavior later used for distinguishing responsibility. In all, by adding the 3G support, Compro’s offerings of IP surveillance solutions will become more flexible than ever.”
This year Compro also plans to roll out a comprehensive series of NVRs, offering the ability to concurrently record and manage 4 to 16 IP video channels. Leading the way are the 12-channel Linux-embedded RS-2212 and the 16-channel Windows-based RS-3216.
The RS-2212 is a dual-bay, 12-CH, network video recorder aimed at home and SMB users. It is built on the Linux system and offers features including H.264 megapixel recording, RAID-0 and RAID-1 support, one-touch USB backup, and more.
The RS-3216 is a 16-CH Windows-based 2U rackmount network video recorder. It comes embedded with Windows and the 16-CH version of ComproView Premium, an advanced video management system with intelligent video analytics that can detect intrusion, tampering attempts, and trip-wires.
It also has a web client for remote viewing and playback. Targeted at SMB users and surveillance projects, RS-3216 is expected to hit the market in the third quarter of 2011.
