Wireless video surveillance

Mesh wireless video camera

Motorola's mesh and Wi-Fi enabled wireless security camera video system is a robust, low-cost, easy-to-deploy, wireless solution for fixed and mobile video. Integrating Motorola's Mobility Enabled Access (MEA) technology or Wi-Fi directly into Sony's IPELA^® camera has created a solution that is smaller and more cost-effective than conventional wireless video systems. Utilizing either licensed 4.9 GHz or unlicensed 2.4 GHz frequencies, the Mesh Wireless Video Camera system can be part of a larger Mesh Wide Area Network (MWAN), or act as a standalone video solution. Users can wirelessly access high-quality video feeds – even while traveling at highway speeds.

Self-forming wireless video network
Motorola's intelligent MEA technology turns mesh camera nodes and clients into router/repeaters that form a seamless, wireless network automatically. This network can be deployed independently or as part of a wider mesh network using additional mesh devices.

Multi-hopping feature
Video and other broadband data can "hop" through every device in a network, even to and from vehicles travelling  at motorway speeds. The video network actually becomes more robust as additional cameras and other MEA devices are added.

Support for 4.9 GHz MEA, 2.4 GHz MEA and 802.11 b/g operation
A mesh camera network can be configured to utilise either licensed 4.9 GHz or unlicensed 2.4 GHz frequencies. Motorola offers a wireless modem card for 2.4GHz and 4.9 GHz frequencies, which is inserted directly into Sony's IPELA^®camera to create a mesh camera node. The camera comes preloaded with drivers for both frequencies and will automatically join the network when turned on.Built-in 802.11 b/g provides Wi-Fi connectivity to the 4300 series of the MWAN portfolio.

Cost-Effective, scalable and easy to deploy
Within each node, the routing and access functions are managed by an internal wireless modem card, eliminating the need for externally connected network devices. This can significantly reduce costs compared to conventional wireless video systems. Mesh camera nodes provide a fast, easy way to add high quality video applications to existing Motorola mesh networks.
