Wireless Broadband 3G internet connection

This system ustillises an industrial grade 3G wireless internet modem/router to connect to the internet. The system is compatible with all Australian wireless broadband service providers including Telstra, Optus, 3 Mobile, Dodo and Virgin. We can arrange a 3G broadband account on the Telstra network at very competitive prices for you or use your supplied and activated 3G broadband internet sim card.

International customers need to install a 3G broadband sim card from a local provider. The quad band modem will connect to almost all networks around the world that use the normal range of frequencies.

Battery powered with solar recharge.

For the ability to truly be a stand alone system we have incorporated a solar powered battery and controller system to recharge the battery during daylight hours while the camera and system is being used. Ideal for remote location monitoring where access to a power source may not be available or excellent for construction projects where a camera position may need to be altered periodically without the worry of connection to a power supply.

Anywhere, anytime, this solar powered wireless 3G IP camera system can be installed easily and quickly and is dependent only on receiving a wireless 3G internet connection to it's location.

Specifications - Ranger V-series Wireless 3G Solar Web Camera System

High Definition Multi-Stream Web Camera

A best-in-class 2-megapixel 1080p network camera for extreme outdoor applications. This camera boasts high-definition 2 Megapixel HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, allowing for the delivery of extremely detailed images and coverage 6 times larger than a VGA camera.

To maximize the benefit of the 2-megapixel sensor, the IP8362 employs several innovative technologies for optimized bandwidth efficiency. The ePTZ function enables users to quickly move to a target area for close-up shots without moving the camera physically. Users can also receive only the portions of the images they are interested in via the cropping function.

Multiple video streams can be delivered simultaneously in different resolutions, frame rates, and image qualities for viewing on different platforms so as to meet different needs or bandwidth constraints. The IP8362 also offers activity adaptive streaming support that dynamically allocates bandwidth according to the video content and trigger state.

Aimed at outdoor surveillance, the IP8362 features auto-iris capability to protect the lens from damage induced by direct sunlight. To adapt to light changes throughout the day, the camera is furnished with a removable IR-cut filter and IR illumina- tors for superior image quality around the clock. The IP8362 also comes with an IP67-rated housing that offers protection against rain and dust to ensure functional operation in all types of weather conditions. For easy management and protection against tempering and vandalism, the IP8362 is also equipped with a mounting bracket that conceals all cables within the bracket.

With other advanced features such as tamper detection, 802.3af compliant PoE,  Micro SD/SDHC card on-board storage, and two-way audio via SIP protocol, the IP8362 is an all-in-one network camera for outdoor environments.

This is a fully functional CMS website platform customised for image management. Ideal for viewing images from multiple cameras and for displaying to a number of stakeholders or a wide audience. Easily $2500 wirth of web development value.

Includes auto connection to the internet on power up and auto reconnect if the wireless internet connection is interupted.

A wireless broadband internet system allows remote login to the camera from any internet connection utilising a dynamic DNS service to automatically stay linked with your camera IP address. We will configure your Dynamic DNS service as part of the system setup.

As there are many different wireless broadband providers it is preferred that we install your internet sim card and configure your system to connect to the internet to ensure your ease of use.

We can have your Telstra sim card setup for you through an accredited Telstra Enterprise Partner. This internet plan can be added to an existing business account or a new account can be created. A simple letter of authorisation is all that is required and we will do the rest. Accounts can be setup with a contract or on a casual plan for a slightly higher rate.

Alternatively, we can introduce you to our Telstra Enterprise Partner to liase with them directly. All accounts are created directly with Telstra and rates are in line with normal Telstra Mobile 3G broadband rates.

If you wish to setup your own account with Telstra, please chat to us first as you need some specific account setup.

The cost of ongoing internet bandwidth costs are the customers responsibility to maintain separately to the cost of this system.

Works with sim cards from most USB 3G Wireless Modems on both the Telstra Next G and Optus 3G Networks.

Pre-paid sim cards from a USB modem are also an option on the Optus network. For use in rural areas we recommend the Telstra Next G network as it has much greater coverage.

For international customers, our Quad Band 3G Modems work in most countries. We can send detailed instructions for installing your own sim card and configuring your internet connection. We will still configure your router settings as much as we can before shipping the product. Full setup support via phone, email and skye is included.
