Energy companies have numerous substations scattered in remote areas so that they can efficiently provide electrical power. It is essential that each substation security is affordable, effective and can be scaled as needed. The cost to the energy companies when a substation is vandalized is considerable.
Most security systems, like CCTV or other DVR based system, need to have connection via the substation’s internet network. This connection is needed so that the CCTV cameras can record videos on the DVR. A Videofied monitored alarm system is different in how it transmits videos.
MotionViewers can be set up and installed easily in various places that may be difficult when it comes to setting up a CCTV camera. When the MotionViewer is tripped, it records a short video and sends it to the manned monitoring station using 900 MHz RF. This transmission signal is military grade and works in the difficult environment of a substation.
Local authorities are immediately notified when the monitoring station has a verified video event. This quick notification and response by local authorities increases the odds of catching the intruders and decreasing further damage to the substations.
This is where the Videofied monitored alarm system stands out. Quick verification of an illegal act while it’s occurring and immediate notification to the police so that they can react quickly.
