The uniQcam is a standalone camera system with integrated “Solid State DVR” and PIR. Its extreme low standby and operational power enables the camera to stay in active mode over a long period of time on solar and rechargeable battery power. The camera has an integrated Control Center that can be switched by external devices (RF-IN) and it can trigger wireless peripherals as well (RF-OUT). Furthermore it alerts unauthorized events by SMS. The system transmits JPEG images, video clips and audio files by GSM (3G) or WLAN to cell phones, PCs and monitor stations.
