| Remote CCTV surveillance manufacturer, TeleEye, has recently launched the rugged RX504 mobile DVR Transmitter, specifically developed for use in transport applications. CCTV images are compressed using TeleEye's unique SMAC-M technology and then transmitted to a monitoring station or central monitoring point using GPRS mobile phone networks. Operators can then provide an immediate and appropriate response to events, based on the visual information before them. The real cost of a mobile CCTV solution has never been the equipment installed in the car, truck, bus or train, but the cost of transmitting live CCTV images over mobile phone networks. TeleEye recognised this fact and entered into a strategic partnership with Wireless Logic (part of the Phones International Group, owned by Peter) to provide low cost tariffs on O2, Vodafone & Orange networks. The price reduction this achieved for TeleEye has made their remote monitoring solution viable in many more mobile transport applications than previously anticipated. Duncan Ross, UK MD of TeleEye, concludes: "Employers have a duty of care towards employees who drive or travel as part of their job. They can't afford to expose employees to potentially dangerous transport situations or lone worker situations. Likewise, they do not want to incur compensation claims from staff for work-based incidents that never happened. The RX504 and its associated mobile phone network provides a cost effective, remote CCTV monitoring solution that enables employers to manage staff, avoid fraudulent litigation claims and provide high-quality, time-based CCTV evidence of events for the police." |
