Wireless CCTV Bird Camera.

A Date With Nature – Live Wireless CCTV for the RSPB

Now and again we install a Wireless CCTV system that is nothing to do with monitoring crime. A project with the New Forest National Park, Forestry Commission and the RSPB sees our Wireless CCTV system installed to monitor wild birds raising their chicks and relaying real time video. This really warms the cockles of our hearts.

The beauty of Wireless CCTV is that there is simply no end to its capabilities, and VTQ UK are at the forefront of Research and Development in ensuring we stay at the top of this field.

Did you know that Radio Telemetry has an amazing number of uses which don’t necessarily spring to mind? Its function as a brilliant Wireless CCTV PTZ control is a given, but, it can also act as a remote measure and reporter of data from a wide range of sources.

A few examples are:

Farming: as healthy crops rely on accurate data at the right time, mini wireless stations are set up remotely and transmit data which evaluates temperature and humidity. This information assists in decisions about irrigation which in turn helps create a good yield. Solar power is used to enable these stations to be independent.

Motor Racing: Telemetry is a key factor in modern motor racing, allowing race engineers to interpret the vast amount of data collected during a test or race, and use that to properly tune the car for optimum performance.

Wildlife: Telemetry is now being used to study wildlife, and has been particularly useful for monitoring threatened species at the individual level.

Rocketry: In rocketry, telemetry equipment forms an integral part of the rocket range assets used to monitor the progress of a rocket launch.

Other Wireless CCTV – Radio Telemetry applications include Intelligence Gathering, Energy Monitoring, Defence Operations, Medicine, Fisheries etc. And, all with a humble box like this:

Marine Thermal Image Camera (MTIC)

MARINE THERMAL IMAGE CAMERA.

The Marine Thermal Image Camera (MTIC) is a very compact PTZ Day/Night surveillance system with integrated high-resolution, uncooled thermal imaging camera designed for installations on board of small vessels, yachts and rescue boats and harsh weather conditions. MTIC comprises:

• Maritime Yacht Surveillance System

• Compact design with only 16cm in diameter

• High Resolution thermal imaging camera

• High Definition Day Camera (optional)

• Mounting uprights or up-side-down

• For small vessels and rough applications

The MTIC is fitted with the highest quality commercially available camera and integrated controller unit. With its sensitivity of 0.0035°C it allows detection of objects with a very low temperature differential, such as people, small boats, floating debris, ice, whales etc. and is therefore ideal for navigation and assisting crew and bridge personnel.

CCTV in schools and colleges has increased rapidly in recent years. But this is generally inside the school used to survey the pupils and staff. However, there is an increasing amount of concern for the safety and security of the staff and pupils from outside risks of un-authorised people entering the school through the main gates or through exposed school perimeter boundaries.

Wireless CCTV For Schools

Here at VTQ we have often been asked to specify a system of wireless CCTV to address this risk. We have put together a basic 4 camera system that can be installed in one day and includes wireless video and audio transmitted directly to the school reception area where it can be monitored by staff.

This system can be installed by the school’s own maintenance staff with VTQ technical support. The system is very easy to commission and comes as ‘plug and play’ technology. Self installation can keep down the costs for a school which is of paramount concern.

In 2011, an independent public opinion survey revealed that 76% of people felt safer in public areas knowing that CCTV was in operation.

We now live in an era where there is now a greater need for these types of security systems but have less resources to obtain them, that’s where VTQ UK and Wireless CCTV comes into it’s own.

Cost Benefits

Wireless CCTV cameras and systems require no direct cabling linking them to recording and viewing devices, where-as wired systems do, which would therefore require significant costs.

Wired system require cables, which are mainly subterranean which results in digging, disruption and delays. There are also the added costs associated i.e. labour costs, disruptions to roads, walkways, businesses, and general infrastructures.

Wireless cameras and systems conversely, can be installed quickly, easily, and with virtually none of the disruption associated with wired installations.

Changing from Wired to Wireless doesn’t mean that you need to “start again”, VTQ UK can integrate some of your existing camera’s on our wirelessly control systems. This means we can gradually upgrade your whole systems at a pace that suits your needs and budgets, without any major disruption.

Effective and Efficient Mobile Capability

Wired CCTV cameras are extremely expensive and in some cases very difficult to move. However the need to  move  your camera’s  are  often  a necessity, changes in road layouts, building changes, lack of need in one area for your systems and a greater in another, the list is can be long.

Therefore when your camera or system is no longer serving its original purpose, you are effectively wasting money.  Wireless CCTV and their systems eliminate these problems at a fraction of the cost.

Having no cabling means cameras can simply be relocated and used for any new requirement. It also means that this can be done in days rather than months, allowing our customers to respond immediately to their needs.

Of course having first class mobile capabilities mean that if our cameras or systems are needed  elsewhere on a temporary basis it can be achieved with ease.  We have supplied major sporting events, music festival events, Discovery Channel and Top Gear to name a few, who required the flexibility, speed, cost effectiveness and quality of our Wireless CCTV products

VTQ UK having worked with Local Police Authorities know how essential this mobile capability in Wireless CCTV is, as well as the huge cost savings it makes.
