Battery operated 3G/GPRS Cameras for Construction Security

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009
We have been looking into a battery operated 3G wireless CCTV solution for one construction client who wants to shut down the generator at night and we think we have found it.

The Remote Event 3G CCTV Camera system has batteries in each device and all talk back to a central battery operated point this in turn connects to the 3G mobile phone network which sends Alerts to a Central Monitoring Station.

This is designed for a smaller construction sites, where a construction security guard would cost around £1000 per week, CCTV Rental Costs should be around £150-£200 per week for a 4 camera system fully monitored by a CCTV Centre.

Reading through the spec sheets shows the camera system has a battery life of 2 years and with no wires, self install might be possible.

Fuel costs are on the rise next year so this could be another saving by only running a generator for 40 hours instead of 168 hours, this could equate to a saving of 75% of your total genny fuel bill, also greener by cutting down on carbon emissions.

Testing will begin over the Christmas period with integration into our Remote Alert Viewing Platform early next year.

Along with this will be battery back up heating for drying rooms (we did think of this too)

Drop us an email if you are interested in saving money using our 3g cctv solutions instead of  your construction security.

Fixed IP 3G CCTV Solution

Friday, December 11th, 2009

One of the UK’s leading services, maintenance and building groups are renting a fixed IP 3G Router to operated megapixel construction webcam to overlook one of their construction sites in Edinburgh, Scotland The UK construction company required a rapid deployed CCTV Camera to be operating at one of their construction projects in Edinburgh within 7 working days of them placing their order.  No telephone or broadband connection was available at the proposed webcam location in Edinburgh.

Portacams opted to operate the high resolution construction monitoring web cam via their Fixed IP 3G mobile solution that is proving to be very popular for remote security camera monitoring around the UK. Within 10 days of the construction webcam enquiry, Portacams packaged a rental construction CCTV solution to suite the construction client’s requirements and budget figures. Carried out a full site survey at the construction site in Edinburgh, issued a detailed method statement, which was signed off, and installed their fully operating 3G megapixel Mobotix IP monitoring camera overlooking the area of the site that our construction client wanted to be viewed remotely via their secure log in to our web interface which allows them to view their images securely
