Drawing on hard-earned, in-depth, and comprehensive knowledge and partnerships within the telecom community, Coastcom integrates engineering expertise with industry-leading deployment experts to facilitate both wired and wireless solutions for complex customer applications and problems.
Coastcom's video security application is based on a wireless high speed motion detection camera network, with intelligent object & face recognition software running on top.
Coastcom wireless mesh nodes replace Ethernet cabling which eliminates costly, disruptive and time-consuming provisioning. Also, these solutions enable multiple network services and standard Ethernet devices (such as digital video surveillance cameras, access points, or other network connected devices) to operate on the wireless backbone creating secure and reliable wireless networks for video, voice and data.
Coastcom's wireless video security solutions deliver the following benefits:
Rapid deployment – Eliminates the need for weeks of cable plant planning; enables customers to continue business operations and revenue during deployment; maintains security; reduces the need for specialized technical resources.
Easy installation – Eliminates the need for major infrastructure destruction and re-construction; eliminates need to pull Ethernet or optical cable or dig trenches in outdoor environments. HotPoint mesh nodes plug into any AC power outlet and automatically self-configure. Radios incorporate POE (Power over Ethernet) so that cabling to the radio unit is simplified.
Easy management – HotView™ mesh management software provides live monitoring and remote management of HotPort networks using an intuitive graphical user interface. The HotView software provides complete access to all mesh and individual node settings including security, VLAN, traffic prioritization, radio power controls, and network gateway interconnects.
Robust infrastructure – Increases network reliability, virtually eliminating the vulnerability to a single point of failure. Mesh topology brings fault tolerance through transport link redundancy. This advanced technology helps to overcome line-of-site issues associated with traditional RF or optical bridging solutions. The radios can be segregated into logical networks with each network having a separate backhaul (radio or physical) to a central location. This provides a method for complex wireless networks to achieve maximum throughput even when the network grows.
High performance – Each HotPort mesh node features hardware optimized for maximum speed on the mesh and at each location. In addition to providing fast transport between hops, each node also features an integrated high-speed Ethernet switch for local line-rate switching up to 100 Mbps per port. These service ports support virtually any Ethernet device including access points, video cameras, VoIP telephones, computers, printers, and network servers.
Security – AES strong encryption and WEP & WEP2 encryption ensures data can be securely transported across the mesh network, bringing data integrity and ensuring privacy. For additional security, HotPort nodes provide a packet filtering function that allows network managers to specify which MAC addresses are permitted or not permitted to operate on the mesh, and a proprietary mesh protocol prevents non-HotPort devices from participating on the mesh. VLAN support enables traffic to be separated into smaller groups and application specific LANs.
Compatibility – Layer 2 (Ethernet) interface to the mesh brings full interoperability with all networking equipment (routers, switches, access points) or network-connected devices (surveillance cameras, printers, computers, gunshot detectors and license plate readers).
Flexible Camera Interface: Virtually any camera can be interfaced to a radio. If an existing camera is an analog type, an analog to IP conversion device will be needed. This feature may reduce capital costs and installation costs. Additionally, more than one camera or other IP device can be connected to a single radio. This enables a suspect area to have multiple camera coverage without the cost of multiple radios. We've chosen IVC cameras for our solution package.
As an example, we've drawn up the following sample Campus/Industrial Video Security package diagram.
