What Nework Cameras support GPRS modems or PCMCIA slots?

Recommended Posts

I'm working on a traffic monitoring system in Latin America. We need to get video feed from the cameras via GPRS, as there is no LAN infrastructure to work with. But there is a good Cell infrastructure.

 

Do any nework cameras support PCMCIA, so I could use a GPRS PCMCIA modem? Or is there another way to get the video feed onto GPRS?

havent seen an actual camera that does this, as it would need a form of digital modem.

 

You just want to trasmit the video via cell phone is that right?

 

If so there are a couple manufacturers that make 1 channel - 16 channel boxes, such as OZ Line, and some others.

Yes, Linudix makes a 2-channel box with a PCMCIA slot. I'm checking with them now...

 

I have seen some cameras with PCMCIA slots. Talked with IQeye, they have a camera with PCMCIA slot, but they only have drivers for 802.11. No GPRS.

 

Any other thoughts welcome.

Yeah, I'm talking about CCTV cameras. The one I saw that had a PCMCIA slot, that's IQEye, had 802.11 drivers but no GPRS drivers. So no joy there. We're investigating external options now. Linudix is looking good.
