1.4.2 VEGA WIRELESS CAMERA GPRS CONNECTED TO AN ADSL ROUTER In this scenario, the Vega Wireless Camera GPRS uses a faster means of transport: the ADSL line. An ADSL Router was connected to the camera LAN port in order to monitor the real status and the alarm- relevant images by a remote station. This process is much faster if compared to the use of a GPRS network. As for the previously described application, the Vega Wireless Camera GPRS captures and saves the images to an interna

1.4.3 VEGA WIRELESS CAMERA WLAN CONNECTED TO AN ACCESS POINT ADSL ROUTER In this scenario two Vega Wireless Cameras WLAN have been installed and both are provided with presence detection sensors. The images can be accessed by a remote station with a LAN wireless connection to the Access Point via any device provided with a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera): a computer, Macintosh or PDA. If using an Access Point with ADSL Router, images can be also acc

1.4.4 VEGA WIRELESS CAMERA WLAN CONNECTED TO DIGICOM’S VEGA VIDEO In this scenario, a new device is mentioned: Digicom’s Vega Video. The Vega Video is an image concentrator with an integrated Access Point. The Vega Video is able to connect up to four Vega Wireless Cameras WLAN with local stations and remote stations, for an optimal management of the cameras with a single device. It can also save the images to an external memory, such as a Hard-disk or an USB memory key, with no f
