The combination of fast dome camera and integrated web server allows remote monitoring of live video and full PTZ control via browsers, and the cameras are being utilised in a number of online applications. The installation of cameras at the Fife Warehousing Company allows management and security staff to monitor operations from a remote location. Accessed via a single web page, the ability to view different sites from one central position provides cost and time savings. Staff can define preset positions, such as the capability to program and store numerous positions, reducing the need to travel to site. Full pan, tilt and zoom control of the camera allows the user to view every camera angle. The cameras can be also used in extreme environments, such as the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse. Encountering harsh weather and varying lighting conditions, they can be remotely operated and monitored online. The use of radio and satellite broadband connected to the cameras not only increases flexibility and eliminates the need for cabling. System functions, such as alarm triggered notification, allow the lighthouse manager to act swiftly in case of an incident or emergency. All functions can be controlled offsite and require minimal operation. Further enhanced by a Day/Night camera, the manager benefits from the IR filter automatically switching between colour during the day and mono at night, increasing sensitivity and providing the perfect solution for 24hr surveillance in the extreme marine surroundings.
