Mesh Networks Multiply Security Resources in Cities, Communities
How far does one camera feed go – to a dispatcher or monitoring station? What if it could go to every security vehicle in an organization – giving security personnel minute-by-minute updates on what’s happening and where their services are most needed? With wireless mesh, it can, and more.
Wireless mesh networks really shine in unconventional installations where normal surveillance strategies just aren’t practical or even feasible. Perhaps an organization is located in an isolated area, and installing masses of fiber optic cable is too expensive. Or in high-crime areas, security executives worry about camera cables being cut. In some instances, they just want more from their security surveillance. This is when they turn to mesh.
