The system is able to transmit data from a large number of IP cameras to a single recording device in small as well as large and segmented company facilities. Thanks to its variability and easy extensibility it is often used also as part of city CCTV systems.

Its installation does not require any previous knowledge of data transmission in LAN networks. Therefore, CamiBOX^® can also be employed by companies that have installed CCTV systems that are based on analogue transmission.

The entire transmission network has been designed and can be installed as a simple kit that consists of three basic modular elements:

• Control unit "M" fixed to a building, including a recording device.
• Arbitrary number of client units "C" to which cameras are connected.
• If these are not in direct view, "S" units are employed, serving as relay or connecting network points.

A detailed description of all the elements is included in individual product sheets.

The system is supplied pre-configured according to customer’s brief specifications. It only needs to be installed and connected to IP cameras using an accompanying diagram. Location of the individual wireless connections during activation is facilitated by acoustic signalization of the signal quality.

The resulting infrastructure allows for transmission of any type of IP data. This means that in addition to camera images, the network is able to transmit two-way audio, commands for Speed-Dome cameras or state values from sensors, etc. The correct design of an IP camera system requires only the support of the selected camera type with a recording device, and sufficient network throughput depending on the number of cameras while maintaining the required quality of image.

CamiBOX^® is intended for outdoor use, the units are fully resistant to European weather conditions and temperatures and they do not require any additional covers or heating. The units are powered by means of the so-called Power Over Ethernet from a distribution network, batteries or solar panels.

Maximum security, i.e. double security, of information transmission is ensured. The wireless transmission log is proprietary and at the same time provided with a strong encryption. It is therefore almost impossible for an unauthorized person to hack the wireless transmission and obtain the image transmitted.

CamiBOX^® data capacity is above standard. The recording device can be regularly fed with real data of 30-60 Mbps which allows for the transmission of continuous high-quality image from several cameras or standard quality image from a larger number of cameras. Solutions using CamiBOX-M4 and higher can supply the recording device continuously with more than 120 Mbps and they can meet the requirements of extensive installations comprising dozens of cameras.

The range of individual wireless connections between the units covers hundreds of meters and it is sufficient for most applications, even in large facilities. City CCTV systems, which are able to monitor rather large areas, i.e. its individual connections exceed hundreds of meters, are complemented with additional cameras that, depending on their individual types, allow for connections covering dozens of kilometres.
