Remote Monitoring

Remote Monitoring is the capability to monitor parameters on a remote site from a central, alternative remote site or even from a mobile device.

As all of our solutions are IP based this allow the capability to break out of the LAN (Local Area Network) and into a WAN (Wide Area Network) or even on to the Internet. In any case digital security is often a concern and this can be instigated using many options, some of which include VPN (Virtual Private Networks), Encryption (3DES, AES, etc.), HTTPS links (Secure certificate authentication) or Secure tokens with changing codes.

Once connectivity is provided remotely the only parameter that would need to be calculated is the bandwidth required for the application or alerting profile. If the requirement is for several video feeds bandwidth could be reduced by throttling the refresh rate (Frames per Second) or the Resolution of the displayed image. In the instance of utilising WAN links for an alerting process we would recommend having multiple routes or even multiple paths i.e. ADSL and Dial up or Fixed Lines and 3G.
