Hi guys
I have been tasked with putting together a design to help our small suburb combat the rampant crime in the area... Gotta love South Africa
As we are doing this as residents and therefore the budget will be extremely tight as its coming out of our own pockets, there is no exact number but please bear that in mind.
The suburb only has 4 entrances/exits and each of these entry point must be monitored and the video fed to a control room via some sort of link, in future we would like to expand the system to place additional camera at key intersection within the suburb. The suburb is approximately 1.5 square kilometers and is situated on the side of a hill
I need to know the following.
- How to transmit the video feed from the cameras, the inital thought was 3G dongles but surely there is some sort of long range wireless transmission devices that can do better...
- The vision I have is to use license plate recognition camera to be able to accurately identify the vehicles entering and exiting the area, using this video I'd like to record these plate numbers into a DB and compare them against a black/whitelist and notify private security companies when vehicles known to be involved in criminal activities are entering the area to stop the incidents before they happen/
- From a camera hardware / DVR/NVR point of view - what would you recommend?
If there is anything I've missed or any suggestions please just chip them in and any extra info will help. To put in into perspective we had 40 house breaking - some very violent and a murder in the last month - all in an area of roughly 300 houses so something needs to be done... and quick
Nath
