The Challenge
Our client had a requirement to securely connect into a traffic light site with CCTV facilities. The client had a limited time however they required the ability to connect into their CCTV cameras at any time.
The Research
Prosis conducted a communication survey for the site to identify the most appropriate connection type, it was quickly identified that landline services are not feasible plus wouldn’t be available in a timely manner. The solution required a fixed IP address and was not openly accessible via the internet.
The Solution
After further analysis 4G was selected as the ideal communication type. Working with the F & M Telecommunications, we were able to design a 4G data circuit with a fixed IP address that is only accessible from recognised devices and IP addresses. We designed, tested and implemented a secure routable connection to access the CCTV camera to stream in real time or to obtain footage on request. Our solution utilised Mikrotik 4G router to manage the LAN because of its durability, security credentials and abilities to work is extreme temperatures.
The Outcome
The client has a cost effective, rapidly deployed, manageable, and secure connection for their team members to access the traffic lights and CCTV system. Within the CCTV cabinet all equipment is clearly labelled and there is a service port for an engineer to connect into to carry out upgrades and maintenance.
The Process
As with all our projects, we spend a lot of time to understand the start and end point, we carry out physical inspections, speak with suppliers and identify as many challenges as possible before we commence any project. We always attempt to quote timeframes and costs
