Remote Camera Solutions for your Property EntrancesThe images are captured on a fixed time interval, or based on the motion detector, and immediately uploaded to the Ranch Systems Internet application, where authorized users can see the images or short videos. It is also possible to configure alerts, such that users receive a text message or live telephone call within minutes of an event occurring.
The technology consists of a cellular data node (RS210-CELL) including a solar panel, a digital video recorder (RX300-DVR), a rugged outdoor camera with infrared illumination and optionally a motion detector which can be of the beam or infrared type.
Solutions can be further developed by adding electronic keypads for code entry, either for time tracking or gate access control. And the RX300 unit has 4 relay outputs that can be used to control gate openers or alarms. The net result is a wide array of opportunities to grow a remote monitoring and control application in modular steps.
Best of all perhaps: this is just one piece of the overall Ranch Systems solutions suite, which means that the cost of the system can be shared with all the other functionality, such as weather station, soil moisture tracking and irrigation control.
