Further Technical Information

Images can be forwarded from the camera to remote servers via FTP, HTTP or e-mail. Notification of image capture and actual images can be forwarded via WAP PUSH, SMS, MMS or e-mail to mobile handsets.

Using a mobile phone or PDA, ‘still’ images can be viewed via WAP/WEB browser and video sequences via J2ME applications or directly on newer handsets.

System connectivity for the Fonecam system can either be hardwired through a broadband (ADSL) line, via the mobile phone network using 3G where available, GPRS in remote locations, or wireless LAN 802.11 (WLAN) private networks.

In extremely remote areas where no fixed telephone or mobile phone service exists, broadband connectivity can be provided via 2-way satellite, or extended from mobile hubs using directional antennae.

Some typical Fonecam configurations are shown below. Customer's can 'pick and mix' between fixed or mobile digital or analogue cameras, and 'hard wired' connections depending on specific applications.
