Armida™ CameraController
ArmidaWare CameraController enables any camera, whether IP or analog, to securely transmit unsurpassed, and enterprise quality video images over 802.11a/b/g/n, 802.16 and 900MHz wireless networks.Optimal Flexibility in Security
The ArmidaWare product suite features a CameraController that allows security professionals optimal flexibility in security camera selection and placement. The CameraController offers connectivity to any surveillance camera – analog or digital, wired or wireless – and enable wireless transmission of unsurpassed digital quality video using Armida’s patent-pending Videlity ™ technology.
Videlity , a proprietary transmission enhancement and encryption system, vastly improves video transmission over wireless networks, ensuring optimal quality video from surveillance cameras in decentralized locations. In addition to optimizing wireless network usage and ensuring quality image delivery, Videlity technology secures all transmissions using industry-leading AES encryption.
The CameraController solution includes a transceiver that attaches to cameras through analog or digital interfaces, communicating full-motion MPEG-4 video and camera control data directly to the ArmidaWare Videlity “central command” software. The Videlity console and network video recorder (NVR) software allows authorized personnel to view the surveillance video from anywhere on the network or the Internet.
CameraControllers can be used with any 802.11a,b,g,n, 802.16 & 900MHz access point.This provides a consolidated connection point for centralized cameras and other security equipment. CameraControllers expand ArmidaWare system functionality by extending the network to remote cameras.
ArmidaWare CameraControllers eliminate the need to choose between the low image quality of traditional wireless networks, and the expensive installation and trenching for cable typically required to achieve higher-quality images using analog or wired IP solutions. CameraControllers enable cable-free connection and full operational control of up to four cameras. They can be deployed virtually anywhere, including rugged terrain and remote areas.
