Proxicast - Video Surveillance with the LAN-Cell 3G Cellular Router

Proxicast's LAN-Cell 2 3G Cellular Router Is Becoming The Professional's Choice
Video surveillance (CCTV) systems are increasingly utilizing IP-based cameras and incorporating the Internet for communications to decrease costs and increase remote monitoring flexibility. Cellular carriers are racing to roll out ever-faster 3G wireless broadband technologies for Internet service. The convergence of these trends is rapidly expanding the number of situations where video security applications can be deployed quickly and economically. What has been missing is a simple way to link video surveillance systems to these new high-speed 3G cellular data networks.

Internet Enable Your Cameras
The Proxicast LAN-Cell 2 3G cellular router is the perfect communications gateway for providing remote monitoring and surveillance via IP cameras. Our customers have deployed the LAN-Cell for applications such as construction site surveillance, video motion detection, time-lapse imagery, and traffic cameras. You can even easily add an inexpensive webcam to your other LAN-Cell connected data collection equipment for enhanced security and monitoring of your remote sites. The LAN-Cell makes it easy to access your cameras over the Internet.

Connect Any IP Camera
Ethernet-based IP cameras can be connected directly to one of the LAN-Cell's 4 Ethernet LAN ports. Connect WiFi cameras to the LAN-Cell 2's built-in 802.11 a/b/g Access Point, eliminating the need for site-wide network cabling when deploying multiple cameras and making it harder for the video signal to be interrupted. You can even control sophisticated Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras and Digital Video Recorders from anywhere in the world. Network cameras from manufacturers such as Axis, D-Link, Linksys, Panasonic, Sony, and others have been used successfully with the LAN-Cell 3G router.

Connect Multiple Cameras
Multiple cameras at each site can be accessed using the LAN-Cell 2's Port Redirection feature without changing the cameras' default communications settings. Use your existing camera monitoring applications to seamlessly connect to your remote cameras over the Internet.

Carrier Independent & Upgradable
The LAN-Cell 2 3G router is cellular carrier independent via its 3G modem PC-Card architecture, and can easily be upgraded as newer and faster cellular technologies such as 4G, LTE and WiMAX become available. The LAN-Cell 2 supports all major worldwide cellular (wireless) carriers including Verizon Wireless, Sprint PCS, Alltel Wireless, AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile, Rogers, Telus, Bell Mobility, Telcel, Orange, Vodafone, O2, Telstra and others.

High Speed Networks
The LAN-Cell 2 supports all of the latest high-speed 3G cellular standards which provide the bandwidth necessary for fast frame rate and high resolution. EV-DO Rev. A networks offer peak speeds of 3.1 Mbps down-stream and 1.8 Mbps up-stream. HSDPA / HSUPA networks currently offer a maximum of 7.2 Mbps down / 2 Mbps up. Real world performance depends on a number of factors, but the LAN-Cell 2 automatically maximizes the available bandwidth and transmits as fast as the cellular connection will allow.

Save Money
Customers can save money by using the LAN-Cell's Ethernet switch, integrated 802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi access point and router features to share a single Internet connection for all of their remote cameras and security devices. The LAN-Cell 2's port redirection and end-to-end VPN capabilities allows multiple cameras at each site to be accessed without changing the cameras' default communications settings or worrying about carrier port restrictions. The LAN-Cell 2 3G router has several features to help control costs including Proxicast's exclusive Cell-Sentry "watchdog" system that monitors 3G cellular usage and bandwidth management features to throttle video stream rates to help eliminate cellular data plan "overage" charges.

Easy To Install
The LAN-Cell 2 is also well suited for mobile video surveillance trailers and vehicles. The LAN-Cell 2's small size and rugged steel chassis makes it easy to integrate into existing security enclosures and cabinets. The LAN-Cell 2 runs on 12 VDC and has a very low current draw. It can even be operated from a solar power source.

LAN-Cell 3G Router Advantages

NOTE: Some cellular carriers restrict continuous video streaming applications on their networks. Check with your cellular carrier regarding your planned usage of remote video applications.
