Video Surveillance

Outdoor video surveillance without wires

With wireless mesh networks providing the backhaul infrastructure for outdoor video surveillance systems, cameras with pan/tilt/zoon (PTZ) capabilities can be deployed quickly and cost effectively in any location without installing cabling. However, ensuring smooth HD-grade video at 30 frames per second can be a challenge. Latency and dropped packets can produce gaps in video streams when seconds count.

Wireless mesh solutions from Aruba deliver consistent and scalable performance for video, voice and data. Aruba ensures broad geographical coverage and capacity to support multiple bandwidth-intensive video streams, while preventing multi-hop performance degradation.

Aruba’s multi-radio, multi-frequency wireless mesh solution operates over the 2.4-GHz, 5-GHz and 4.9-GHz public safety band, and features Active Video Transport™ (AVT™) (PDF) technology to support latency-sensitive video, voice and data simultaneously over long distances.

Aruba also employs Adaptive Wireless Routing™ (AWR™) to optimize wireless mesh traffic routes. This creates an adaptive mesh infrastructure that adjusts dynamically to connection status and link quality to ensure high availability and consistent throughput across multiple hops.

Powered by an Aruba AirMesh wireless network, it is possible to deploy IP video surveillance cameras in any location, even in remote areas such as oilfields, construction sites and transit corridors.

• Extend video surveillance capabilities. Aruba wireless mesh networks provide the backhaul infrastructure for physical security systems, which enables cameras, access control, and panic-alarm devices to be deployed quickly and cost effectively in any location without installing cabling.
• Gain in-field access to high-speed data, voice and video services. Aruba wireless mesh networks enable security personnel to quickly retrieve critical information and access video feeds that improve on-site response and effectiveness through standard Wi-Fi-capable devices.
• Mobile Video. High-speed roaming gives seamless mobility to cameras or monitoring devices in buses, trains and public safety vehicles with speeds up to 100 kilometers per hour.
