Fonecam is the Justfone range of remote surveillance products offering solutions for the capture, distribution and access of remote monitoring images whether traditional phone lines or broadband (ADSL) connections are available or not.

Fonecam offers a simple to use high quality remote monitoring system to address specific needs such as reducing crime or antisocial behaviour.

Cameras can be hidden in dummy bird nesting boxes, dummy beer cans, old farm machinery, piles of rubble and numerous other discreet locations to avoid detection. The system is highly mobile and can be set up in specific locations in a very short period of time, and with minimum need for cabling in most cases.

Small wireless cameras can be fitted discreetly within vehicles which can be activated manually by the driver, automatically on movement, or from a remote source such as a control room. With violence against public transport staff a major concern for operators, the ability to capture and transmit images of incidents within seconds  of a crime occuring means that criminals are more likely to be prosecuted.

Within an office or shop environment, cameras can be hidden in box files, clocks, dummy motion detectors and all manner of shop fittings. Cameras can easily be moved around and hidden within the retail premises to help combat shoplifting or 'internal' crime.

Images can be accessed and viewed using either a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a mobile handset (mobile phone or SmartPhone), or conventional laptop or desktop PC’s.

Management of the captured images and camera selection can also be carried out remotely from a PDA or modern mobile phones.

The ability to monitor images from a handheld terminal from almost any location worldwide with the appropriate mobile phone service (GPRS)  is a major benefit over the traditional control room and storage method of present 'hard-wired' CCTV systems.

Property owners, retailers, car owners, security staff, public sector workers and numerous others can benefit from the Fonecam solution.

The power supply for the system can be mains electricity or 12 volt battery. The system can be equipped to recharge from renewable power sources such as solar panels or small wind turbines, and can be optimised to operate on a low power standby mode until triggered.

Connectivity for the Fonecam system can either be hardwired through a broadband (ADSL) line, or via the mobile phone network (Vodafone, O2, Orange etc.). In extremely remote areas where no fixed telephone or mobile phone service exists, broadband connectivity can be provided via 2-way satellite.

Systems can be provided in totally sealed cases with military specification waterproof connectors, capable of being buried underground for covert surveillance in remote locations.
