Features
Function
The Observer IV Remote Site Camera uses GSM-GPRS cellular internet service offered by GSM cellular providers including
AT&T Data Connect and
T-Mobile Internet Only to transmit JPG images to any FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or email server of your choice.
Images can be acquired according to schedule and/or upon external triggers such as motion sensors or trip switches.
Once Observer has transmitted them to the server, images can be viewed, managed, archived, and served to other web clients.
Mechanical
The Observer IV GSM-GPRS Remote Site Wireless Internet Camera is a weather proof unit constructed in a painted aluminum extrusion of rectangular cross section.
An acryllic window at one end provides protection for the camera lens inside.
Controls and interface connectors are behind a cover at the other end.
The GSM antenna mounts directly on the top.
The camera is mounted by means of a standard 1/4-20 threaded hole in bottom of the chassis.
Setup
GSM-GPRS data service must be established for Observer IV before snapshots can be transmitted.
Cellular data service coverage maps are viewable for T-Mobile, and AT&T. Cellular data rate plans are also viewable for T-Mobile's Unlimited Internet Plan and AT&T.
Operational settings for Observer IV are made using a common
browser running on a computer connected to the camera through an RS-232
port before final installation.
These settings include exposure, picture quality, color balance,
picture size in pixels, transmission schedule, external trigger, html
link page generator, time, date, day, GSM account settings (APN and
PIN), and FTP and HTTP server settings (IP addresses, folders, and
passwords).
Viewing Pictures using Your Computer
There are many ways
to view pictures after Observer IV has automatically uplaoded 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.
