System Functionality

Time Lapse Recording

Time lapse image recording for applications such as construction projects, events, weather and environmental studies. Install your own 3G enabled solar powered time lapse camera system.

Direct camera access for live monitoring and management.

The 'Sentinel' system with 3G network connectivity, allows you to access the camera directly via your web browser. The camera systems are pre-configured with a dynamic DNS service for connecting to your camera via a 3G dynamic IP address.

Once you have logged in to the camera remotely you can look down the lens in real time, zoom and pan with in the field of view, manage your events setup and timing such as when to record to SD card or FTP an image to a web server, take snapshots or download images.

 

Image Viewing Website Platform

We can provide a stand alone dynamic CMS website, custom installed onto the included web hosting where your images are uploaded and displayed for easy viewing by an unlimited number of stakeholders.

This is different to accessing the camera system directly via the 3G connection, which is generally limited to selected administrators within your organisation, as accessing the cameras directly uses 3G bandwidth and requires controlled usage, whereas the image viewing website can be accessed via the internet from as many stakeholders and employees as is required.

Website Integration

We can integrate a highly functional dynamic CMS web platform with your web camera system, for auto archiving and display of images in real time directly from the camera.

We build all of our dynamic web platforms from the Drupal open source web architecture. Drupal is one of the worlds most widely used open source web platforms and is highly adaptable to install additional functionality.

Digital Inputs & Outputs

A range of digital inputs and outputs are available for remote device switching and use with external triggers for camera event activation, and SMS alerting.

Digital outputs allow the switching of pumps, gates or other independently powered devices, with the activation of the appropriate relays. Digital inputs can utilise external PIR sensors or other mechanical switches or devices to trigger events or alerts within the system.

 

Weather Integration

The Vantage Pro2™ wireless weather station combines a rain collector, temperature and humidity sensors and anemometer into one unit.

Uses frequency hopping spread spectrum radio technology to transmit weather data wirelessly up to 1000' (300 m).
