720773VIDEO-MESH IIClosedGRD Development of PrototypeInnovate UKRinicom's VIDEO-MESH II proposes to develop a novel surveillance system, integrating HD dual optical-thermal cameras and a robust mesh communications system, to enable the distribution of multiple high-quality live video streams to authorised devices, real-time wireless broadband transmission and seamless access to video meta data and information exchange. VIDEO-MESH Development of Prototype (VIDEO-MESH II) will design and implement the new dual-cam system, as it provides direct device-to-device broadband communications and adds the network access point functionality, resulting in the ability to rapidly and effectively extend the network reach without requiring additional investments or modifications to the existing physical infrastructure. VIDEO-MESH II will deliver a technologically-innovative prototype that validates the system's network performance and scalability towards the dynamic connection of multiple information producers (e.g., dual-cam systems, third-party camera systems, remotely operated systems) and consumers (e.g., mobile stations, unmanned vehicles). Rinicom's VIDEO-MESH will be the FIRST EVER HD optical and thermal camera supporting wireless mesh broadband networking, at a highly competitive price. It innovatively combines the added value of dual HD cameras in surveillance with Rinicom's proprietary mesh networking, COFDM robust waveform and smart video analytics to create a truly gamechanging surveillance asset, supporting a seamless network of (mesh-compatible) interconnected systems that sustain high-throughput data sharing exchange, automatic detection and tracking and communications relay to third systems. VIDEO-MESH II cutting-edge innovation will impact the surveillance market, introducing a unique, high performing, adaptive, secure and cost-effective dual-cam mesh networking surveillance system that is beyond the current market state-of-the-art and delivers improved protection of citizens, critical infrastructures and border control.
