The Mi5 cameras have a low power consumption and large storage capacity, which allows battery-powered “set-and-forget” operation for as long as 22 weeks, without the need for a mains connection.

Mi5 partner Scott Wattie says the surveillance industry to date has been something of a specialist area, disconnected – in a commercial and often a physical sense — from mainstream ICT. The products are purely digital and a user company’s ICT team should be able to easily integrate them in to its information management systems, he says.

"Crims hate smiling for security camera"

The RedEye portable digital surveillance camera is new to the security market. Developed using advanced new technology in Australia and marketed here by Mi5 Ltd, RedEye can be powered by a single rechargeable battery for up to nine months. RedEye has optional infrared night vision, stores up to 65,000 photos, runs on a battery for up to nine months or can be powered by 12V or mains. There is an optional solar panel or a strobe siren for a complete camera and alarm package. Mi5 says it enjoys strong demand from farmers for RedEye, as it captures clear, still images of intruders or property disturbances that can be used in criminal prosecutions. These images pick up vehicle registration numbers on cars entering a property from a distance. John and Janine (names altered for privacy and protection) have a 50 hectare rural property in the Waikato. ‘We like to go away at various times during the year and in the past it’s given us some real concern to walk away from the property not knowing if intruders will enter while we’re away,’ John says. ‘We found that because of its portability we could put RedEye by our property gate and feel confident we now get the kind of security we need.’ ‘No wires’ installation means RedEye can easily be moved from site to site, and can be fixed to any structure such as a tree, fence post or building. Farmers can move them from place to place to monitor trouble spots. RedEye has marked a real shift in thinking in the security industry, Mi5 says. It offers a different technical approach to capturing and processing images. The company says the camera has a longer battery life than anything else on the market. It provides an added insurance policy for property owners if there is a break in. The clear JPEG images produced by the camera are a huge improvement for getting convictions when good clear pictures are needed, Mi5 says. The RedEye camera automatically records on each photo the time and date of capture and the time gap between each photo. http://www.ruralnews.co.nz/Default.asp?task=article&subtask=show&item=16...
