Vivotek now includes 3GPP mobile surveillance support with Vivotek IP camera and video server devices. 3GPP mobile surveillance support will allow for live video from an IP camera or video server to display on a 3G compatible PDA, cell phone or iPhone. This added functionality allows for remote video surveillance on an entirely new level by removing the barriers of having to visit stationary locations in order to access an IP video surveillance network. Instead, users can access video from any location where they are able to receive a 3G mobile signal. Because of this added functionality, Vivotek has posted a FAQ on their website which is designed to help provide support for users of Vivotek products who wish to properly configure remote access to their network video devices via a mobile device.

Be sure to check out the Vivotek FAQ section for full details on setting up 3GPP mobile access for your mobile devices. The Vivotek FAQ section also has information on other commonly asked questions for configuration and support also.

VIVOTEK network cameras have since outperformed the previous analog system in terms of higher convenience, broader coverage, and better image quality. Installed in August 2009, the enhanced security also brings peace of mind to students and school administrators. “VIVOTEK’s cameras have already helped us resolve campus issues and represent a great investment in security in our public schools,” said Gary Lawson, Director of Surveillance and Fiber Optic Systems at Wise County Public Schools.

A combination of 24 Vivotek IP7142 outdoor bullet IP cameras, 50 Vivotek FD7131 indoor dome IP cameras, and 50 Vivotek IP7131 indoor fixed IP cameras were installed across 15 of the 17 public schools in the district. This includes both elementary schools and high schools. The IP7142 IP camera was chosen because of its capability to perform well in low light environments with the inclusion of a Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) sensor, built-in IR illuminators, and a mechanical IR Cut Filter. The IP7142 comes encased within an IP66 outdoor rated enclosure which allowed for easy installation in the outdoor environment. The FD7131 and IP7131 IP cameras were installed in hallways or near building entrances to help provide immediate alert and identification to unauthorized visitors. The PIR sensors included with these IP cameras allow for immediate detection of unauthorized access and will help to provide an added level of security. The entire school district consists of 17 campuses with over 7,000 students attending. With Vivotek IP cameras a safer learning environment can be provided for facility and students. In addition to adding protection, the network surveillance system will also deter crime and acts of vandalism.
