Wireless surveillance provided by WEILAIFE encompasses advanced wireless technology that establishes seamless connectivity between monitoring points and a central monitoring hub. This innovative solution transmits live video feeds from different locations to the wireless surveillance center in real time, allowing users to monitor their premises hassle-free.

Comprehensive Functions of Wireless Surveillance The wireless surveillance system combines advanced surveillance technology with wireless transmission capabilities. It facilitates real-time communication between the surveillance center and surveillance points, and creates a video database for convenient future data retrieval.

In a wireless surveillance system, the monitoring center requires real-time access to clear and continuous video footage from monitoring points. Typically, live footage is captured using high-quality cameras and connected to the surveillance system through wireless video transmission devices. These devices use wireless radio waves to transmit data signals to the central monitoring hub. Authorized users can access the system through client software or web browsers and are granted different permission levels. Monitoring staff have full control over camera angles, zoom functions, focus adjustments and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) operations to accurately observe the real-time scene.

Components of a Wireless Surveillance System A wireless surveillance system consists of the necessary elements: a monitoring center, a wireless network, an information collection system, and client software.

Surveillance Center: The central hub manages the entire surveillance system, provides user and device management capabilities for the surveillance management center, and oversees video access, control services, and video processing functions.

Transmission system: Wireless networks such as CDMA, GPRS, or satellite communications enable wireless connectivity. With the emergence of Wi-Fi and 5G broadband wireless systems, wireless monitoring will be widely adopted by industrial and home users.

Acquisition system: This includes video servers, cameras, and front-end devices such as PTZ units. The PTZ units provide 360° rotation, 90° vertical movement, and zoom control. The video encoder/decoder converts the analog video signal from the camera into a digital format, then compresses and encodes the data. The compressed video data is sent over the network to the surveillance control center.

Client Software: Users can conveniently access video feeds and control cameras through a web browser or dedicated client software. After user authentication, they get full access to live video streams, camera control, remote device management, and receive real-time alerts.

Benefits of Wireless Monitoring

Cost-effective: Wireless monitoring systems offer a one-time investment solution, especially suited for outdoor applications and long-distance installations. Wired installations in difficult geographical terrains or in already furnished locations can be logistically challenging and time-consuming. In contrast, wireless monitoring eliminates the need for extensive cabling, ensuring short installation periods, ease of maintenance and cost-effectiveness.

Flexibility in network expansion: The wireless monitoring system is highly scalable and flexible, allowing new wireless monitoring points to be seamlessly integrated into the existing network, eliminating the need for additional network infrastructure and equipment and simplifying the process of remote wireless monitoring.

Low maintenance costs: The wireless surveillance system is maintained by the network provider, providing a hassle-free plug-and-play experience for end users. The front-end devices are user-friendly, maintenance-free and easy to scale.

Powerful Functions and Digital Recording: The wireless surveillance system offers advanced functions and flexible usage. Fully digitalized recording simplifies storage and retrieval processes. The duration of recording can vary from a few hours to several months depending on storage capacity, frequency of image capture and quality. Users can easily play back, locate specific footage and adjust the playback speed.

Multiple Viewing Options and Two-Way Communication: The surveillance center display screen can display single or multiple camera feeds with easy switching between views, while two-way communication and listening capabilities allow you to interact with the control room or remote monitoring points.

Remote monitoring and alarm integration: Wireless surveillance system facilitates remote monitoring and control through sensor integration. Real-time images and related information from remote monitoring points are automatically transmitted to the monitoring center to trigger alarms or start video recording.
