AMG, the British manufacturer of sophisticated 5 Megapixel cameras and CCTV transmission solutions, showcased their new series of rugged Multi-Service Ethernet Switches at the recent Security Twenty 13 conference in Birmingham, central England. Sara Bullock, sales & marketing director of AMG Group, said the firm had developed the AMG9000A range to provide a hybrid product that bridges the gap between analogue and IP transmission technologies. “Historically, I/O requirements have been dealt with through the

Sara Bullock, sales & marketing director of AMG Group, said the firm had developed the AMG9000A range to provide a hybrid product that bridges the gap between analogue and IP transmission technologies. “Historically, I/O requirements have been dealt with through the use of third party Serial Port, Audio and Contact-closure I/O servers. This often resulted in a disparate, multi-vendor product mix, with its inherent issues of product configuration and integration,” explained Sara. “The new AMG9000A series offers a common web browser interface to manage the configuration of all aspects of the device; Ethernet as well as serial ports, audio ports and Alarm I/O. You can either configure as point-to-point circuits or as virtual circuits if you are working with a Management System. Working through a web browser takes away a lot of the previous hassle and makes the configuration secure, simple and easy to work with.” During Security Twenty 13, AMG also exhibited the just launched TotemCam360: a 5 Megapixel redeployable 360° integrated camera system with built-in recording solution operating over 3G/WiFi for remote area and perimeter detection.
“The TotemCam360 solution addresses remote CCTV applications where there is no cabling infrastructure available or in place,” said Bullock. “The 360 degree capability allows viewing/monitoring of the full scene from a single camera. The unit comes with an on-board 1TB DVR and a connection for a removable USB 2.0 hard disk. The advanced aerial technology we have applied allows the TotemCam360 to record almost indefinitely and stream the video 24/7 back to a Video Alarm Centre via 3G, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, or Broadband/ LAN/5Ghz options. The applicability of the solution is incredibly flexible and versatile as it covers large or small areas in both day and night time conditions.”
