Impressive 6.2 Megapixels

Equipped with 90° wide angle and tele lenses, the camera can for example, monitor a scene entirely and, at the same time, the tele lens can record portrait photos in front of the entrance area. The two 90° lenses even allow a 180° recording, for example when monitoring an entire parking lot by one camera installed on the wall. And with the digital sensor switching function, the D14 can also be used as a day/night camera since it can be equipped with one color and one black/white module ensuring the most brilliant color during the day and high sensitivity at night.

Arthur Phillip High School is a comprehensive Government high school that is located in the CBD of Parramatta, a city in the greater Sydney metropolitan area in Australia.  The school staffs around 150 teachers and administrators and supports 1600 students.  They also support two school sites which are intersected by a reasonably busy road and are close to a major transport interchange.

The school is proud to be an Apple Distinguished School and strive to constantly use technology to improve student engagement, which is one of the reasons that C3 was a logical addition for their security solution. They currently have approximately 400 MacBooks that the students can borrow for a lesson (much like textbooks) and 200 iMacs in labs or teacher staffrooms. The school has an extensive computer network and wireless network, including a laser link to connect each campus. They also boast a second wireless network across both campuses, linked by fibre bored under the road and 850 Lenovo laptops. The school and its staff are clearly pioneers in using technology in education.

The school believed it was time to apply that technology to their security infrastructure.  About three and a half years ago, Arthur Phillip High School was invited to apply for some Government funding specifically for improving our security. This was in the wake of concern over security threats to infrastructure and other community facilities, racial tensions in the community and a gang invasion of another nearby metropolitan school.  The school was awarded the funds an they did improve their perimeter security (7ft fencing, upgraded door and entry point, and access control gates), internal site security (access control system for internal and external building entries).  The previous CCTV installation was antiquated and unreliable, therefore the school also used the funds to upgrade their system.

You wouldn't take a photo of your family with a low resolution camera, so why protect your property with a low resolution surveillance system?

Traditional CCTV systems just don't cut it. Standard analog CCTV resolution is limited by the cabling required to transmit the video. This means that the highest resolution achievable is 0.4 megapixels!

The image below illustrates the difference between CIF (0.4 megapixels) and QXGA (3 megapixels) resolution.

Independent Locksmiths & Security can protect your property and family using Mobotix high resolution IP cameras recording to your existing PC or network attached storage device (NAS).
