by Shane Henson — January 14, 2013—Facilities managers and security professionals searching for an integrated, remote camera and recording system for area and perimeter intrusion may find that AMG-Panogenics’ TotemCam360 meets their needs while offering additional benefits.
According to the British manufacturer of sophisticated megapixel cameras, it developed the TotemCam360 to address remote closed-circuit television (CCTV) applications where there is no cabling infrastructure available or in place, and is ideal for rural areas. The 360-degree capability allows viewing/monitoring of the full scene from a single camera.
The unit comes with an on-board 1TB DVR and a connection for a removable USB 2.0 hard disk. The company says the advanced aerial technology it applied allows the TotemCam360 to record almost indefinitely and stream the video 24/7 back to a video alarm center via 3G, 802.11b/g wi-fi, or broadband/LAN/5Ghz options.
The applicability of the solution is incredibly flexible and versatile as it covers large or small areas in both day and nighttime conditions, adds AMG-Panogenics. The company says it designed the solution to be easy and straightforward to install. The result is rapid setup with minimal project planning needed for implementation.
The solution is particularly well suited to help prevent remote asset damage and can act as a deterrent for anti-social behavior. The TotemCam360 solution also provides multiple electronic pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) and panoramic video streams, which may be recorded or viewed live. AMG-Panogenics also says that a heat shield is available for the TotemCam360 if it is to be used in harsh environments.
