Disaster Area, Natural Hazard, Stream Levels, Flooding, Landslide, Avalanche
Area or Snow Pack Monitoring & Surveillance Camera & Webcam
Geologists, Forest Service personnel or land managers often wish to monitor a disaster area or nautural hazards at
remote locations. With the Observer IV Geology & Forestry Monitoring & Surveillance Camera & Webcam system,
disaster area recovery after hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc. or natural hazards such as stream
levels, a flood or flooding, landslides, avalanche areas or snow pack levels can be visually monitored on a
continuous basis by personnel located anywhere. The Observer IV camera and webcam utilizes a wireless GPRS GSM
cellular service.
The Observer wireless camera and webcam can be operated in both day and night, with night vision low light
infrared capability. Our GPRS GSM wireless surveillance camera and webcam allows personnel to go to any computer
in the world with an Internet connection and view near real-time digital pictures or images on their browser, ask
for a picture or image to be taken at that time, or schedule pictures to be taken at any desired time interval.
Installation is simple. All that is required is to mount the camera in a location suitable for acquiring the
pictures or images required. Once installed, the Observer IV camera and webcam system can deliver images or
pictures unattended for up to a year on a single set of batteries.

Monitor Construction Projects & Work Progress -
Transmit Camera
& Webcam Pictures
With the Observer IV wireless camera and webcam, Forest Service personnel and land managers can continuously
monitor work progress at construction sites or other land management projects throughout the day. Management can
monitor worker's compliance with federal and state government regulations. Worker safety can be monitored and
potentially hazardous work conditions can be detected and then rectified. Land management personnel can also be
alerted when a security breach or illegal trespass at any remote or unsecured area has occured. Monitoring and
surveillance of remote areas can occur, as long as these areas are located within GPRS GSM cellular coverage areas.
The Observer IV surveillance camera and webcam system can be automatically triggered to take pictures by external
events from motion detectors, infrared heat sensors, or many other types of remote event triggers and sensors.
The camera and webcam system can be set to automatically take pictures at specific intervals of time, for example,
once every 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes. This provides a time-lapse effect when viewing disaster areas or natural
hazard's activity over the course of several hours or each day. Breaches to security or secure areas can be
identified and tracked as well.

Mobile or Temporary Geology & Forestry Natural Hazard Surveillance Camera &
Webcam
The Observer IV wireless camera and webcam system is easily moved as the visual monitoring and surveillance
requirements for any particular disaster area, natural hazard or geology or forestry application changes.
Observer can be moved as projects or programs are completed and new surveillance initiatives are started. The
camera and webcam system can be used for temporary or short-term operations or surveillance needs.
For example, a group of Observer camera and webcam systems could be moved into position on a temporary basis
around high-activity disaster areas or a natural hazard such as an active landslide area or a stream or glacier
of interest to provide continuous, round-the-clock surveillance and monitoring during some particular event.
The camera and webcam system can easily be moved around any given site or to new sites as target surveillance
areas change.

Viewing Pictures or Images using Your Computer
There are many ways
to view pictures after Observer IV has automatically uploaded them to
an FTP server. Included with Observer IV is FTP client software that
automatically checks the FTP server for new pictures from up to four
cameras simultaneously at user selected time intervals.
You may download Colorado Video's FTPJPGReader software now and try it by following these instructions.
A browser, like the one your using now, may also be used to view pictures.
For instance, just type "ftp://www.colorado-video.com/incoming/" into your browser's address bar to see a list of files on Colorado Video's FTP server.
Click on a ".jpg" to view it.
If you're using the Opera browser, you can set it to automatically update the picture periodically.
Simply click "Navigation" then "Reload Every" and then select your desired update time interval.
Opera has a great feature here because it can be used to update any web page automatically at any time interval you desire.
