2010 saw the launch of a new era of security devices. The RedEye Wireless, from Mi5 Security, is a high quality yet affordable camera designed to remotely identify people and objects and immediately notify the customer. This is important because other devices have let users down in this area, but not so the RedEye.

 

A City Council representative states “what we really need is a device we can put in the field easily. We need something really portable, but we need to be able to view live footage when we want too as well. Nothing exists like this at the moment.”   This statement was true, until a few months ago.

 

The RedEye Wireless is new to the market place (the ability to send real time footage via the cellular network from a completely portable device), but the core technology is based upon Mi5’s successful RedEye Standalone cameras. The technology crammed into these discreet devices is incredible. Finally, a Security device that really leverages advances in the technology field, converged with the solid foundations of the security world as we have known it. For example, never before have we heard of a portable camera device that can last for many months on a small lithium battery alone! The RedEye supports the internal battery with a small inbuilt solar panel. 

 

RedEye is unique not only for it’s amazing power capabilities, but the way they capture images using a patented processing system allows for useable footage, which is important, but more interesting is the ability to programme sequences – so you can have pre trigger, post trigger, multiple images within seconds, you can setup the camera on time lapse or base triggering on motion. The options are endless, which is great for multi purpose requirements that exist in the world of security. 

 

These cameras are used by a variety of clients as a result of this inbuilt intelligence. Construction workers use time-lapse to view building construction progress and share this with clients where applicable. Councils use motion detection for rubbish dumping (fly-tipping) sites both day and night. Power companies secure remote stations; the applications are endless, particularly given the ability to add remote triggers, remote night vision, telephoto lens options, modems and more!

 

But it doesn’t stop there! With the recent launch of the complementary service, MyMi5 (http://demo.mymi5.com) users of multiple security and monitoring devices can now access live footage, in real time, via the internet. This secure software service is more than just an image repository. This leading edge technology allows individuals and organizations alike to take control of their own security requirements and manage both hardware and security or monitoring footage easily. No need to bring in third party experts, this platform opens up a whole new world of security management.

 

MyMi5 is a new generation VSaaS platform (Video Surveillance as a Service) allowing secure access from any location utilizing high security access protocols. The platform is very user friendly, with images time and date stamped for your convenience and the ability to download any single or sequence of images to another storage device off line. You can view images as a slide show, and see where the camera is located via a mapping system which provides a graphical view of each camera, along with easily identified alerts showing the most recent activity and summary activity of each location.

 

MyMi5 not only caters to businesses and individuals, but it also enables Government and Enterprise users to easily group cameras from different sites or business units into folders that are only accessible to certain personnel. 

MyMi5 enables full integration into any enterprise application through a comprehensive http-REST interface or SFTP services. In other words, the application is extremely flexible and designed for multiple requirements by multiple user types, and yet it sits on solid, reliable security foundations, ensuring only those with the correct permissions can access security and monitoring footage.

 

If you are not near a computer or can’t get online via your cell phone or other device, you can still receive live footage to your email or phone.

 

Since the launch or MyMi5, two major suppliers of monitoring software are utilizing MyMi5 to enhance their existing offerings. Multiple Government departments both in New Zealand and around the globe are also finding the platform more than meets their requirements and comment they have never before had the option to fulfill these needs. Mi5 Ltd has just closed a deal with one of the largest Electricity Generators in the world. Both the RedEye Wireless, and RedEye Extreme (a robust version used in the Alps!) are utilized by this organization to monitor their remote water inlets and hydro dams.

 

This exciting technology is proven and reliable. Mi5 sell through resellers in the New Zealand market and selected International partners. Potential resellers should also be aware that Mi5 offers an attractive commercial annuity model. Contact them now for full details.
