1.3 APPLICATIONS

The Vega Wireless Camera can be used in a wide range of applications. With the built-in CPU, it can work as a standalone system that provides a web-based solution transmitting high quality video images for monitoring purposes. It can be managed remotely, accessed and controlled from any PC desktop over the Intranet or Internet via a web browser. With the easy installation procedure, real-time live images will be available. In addition, once the Vega Wireless Camera is installed coupled with any application software for the camera management (such as Active WebCam), you can further expand the scope of the camera.

The typical applications for the Vega Wireless Camera are:

•Monitoring of local and remote places and objects such as construction sites, hospitals, amusement parks, schools and day-care centers.

•Capture single frame images for alarm detection.

1.4 APPLICATION SCENARIOS

1.4.1 STANDALONE VEGA WIRELESS CAMERA GPRS

In this scenario, the Vega Wireless Camera GPRS captures and saves the images to an internal volatile memory: when the memory limit is reached, older images are overwritten by the most recent ones.

A presence detector, the Sensor, is connected to one of the Vega Wireless Camera’s GPRS digital inputs. When an alarm is detected, the images preceding and following the alarm event are saved to the camera flash memory (non volatile memory). At this point the Vega Wireless Camera GPRS activates an Internet connection by using the GPRS network and sends a SMS to the users who were added during the configuration process to alert them on the intrusion.

The images saved by the camera can be accessed by a remote station via any device provided with a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera): a computer, Macintosh, PDA or advanced mobile phone connected to the Internet.
