The client was planning to install surveillance cameras across wide facility grounds outdoors, including parks, parking lots, and other facilities under management, to monitor the grounds and the facilities themselves. Because installing wired network infrastructure across the site was impractical, we were asked to design a wireless network to support the cameras.
Solution
Because of potential radio interference with nearby residential areas, we proposed using the 4.9 GHz FalconWave system. After conducting a site survey and temporarily installing equipment to measure throughput, we evaluated the required bandwidth for each communication segment and designed the surveillance camera network accordingly. Finally, we installed the network and camera system, taking into account the client’s requests for long-range (zoom) capability and nighttime surveillance.
System Overview
The monitoring station and monitored facilities are connected over a telecommunications carrier’s network (VPN). Using this connection as a starting point, we designed a wireless network using FalconWave 4.9. The surveillance camera system is configured to allow users to display images on monitoring-station screens, control cameras from PCs, and record video footage to storage devices.
