MicroPower Technologies Inc., an award-winning provider of surveillance
solutions optimized for rapid, cost-effective deployment, announced the availability of remote network surveillance solutions designed for isolated or unmanned facilities, such as those commonly found in the oil and gas, water utility, critical infrastructure, and power substations industries.
An extension of the company’s solar, wireless surveillance technologies, this
platform provides surveillance to sites that were previously unreachable by
traditional systems.
The power and cabling requirements of typical security products often disqualify the use of video for isolated, remote locales, which present
unique and complex requirements.
Due to the evolving risk factors presented by such facilities, video surveillance is necessary to help prevent terrorism, vandalism and crime as well as provide the “eyes on” for
operation management.
The MicroPower wireless, solar-powered surveillance solution allows isolated sites to ensure security with applications to help reduce deployment and infrastructure costs.
The highly reliable and secure
wireless solution does not require cabling for power or data transmission.
This unique approach removes the restrictions experienced with traditional cameras and allows users to place cameras at remote sites without the added complexity of trenching or pulling data and power cables.
Such design minimizes deployment time, eases ongoing maintenance requirements and reduces disruption to day-to-day business on site.
The value of the investment can be extended further because video can be
leveraged to ensure consistent and proper operation of devices, monitoring
and systems at isolated sites.
Additionally, the MicroPower’s remote
network surveillance solution enables organizations to shift from more
situational awareness to situational assessment – for example, using images collected to determine whether a problem demands a maintenance crew or
possibly first responders in case of an emergency.
“MicroPower is constantly looking for new ways to respond to application
needs where previous solutions were unproductive,” said Dave Tynan, Vice
President of Global Marketing and Sales, MicroPower Technologies. “Our
innovative technologies offer these industries a well-tested solution that
solves problems related to lack of infrastructure, while providing the
ability to address these issues cost effectively and sustainably.”
MicroPower Technologies will showcase its technologies at booth 1253 during
the 60th Annual ASIS International Seminar and Exhibits, being held
September 29 through October 1, 2014, in Atlanta, Ga.
