Europe : Vodafone Portugal launched Wireless SafePack, an innovative solution that enables users to remotely access surveillance camera images via a standard Internet connection from a PC or compatible PDA.

Wireless SafePack is the outcome of a partnership with Intelligent Sensing Anywhere and has been designed to be easy to install, simple to use and to offer total control of costs. The solution, which makes use of several Wireless 3G and WiFi technologies, is provided to users preconfigured, making its installation virtually immediate. As a totally wireless solution, it offers great flexibility in the location of its various components. This makes it very simple to relocate or modify the system when needed, as long as the components are within the coverage area.

In addition to being able to view images from cameras in real time, users can access images that are automatically recorded when movement is detected and to pre-program automatic surveillance sweeps. A large menu of options makes it possible to match the solution to a wide range of required uses such as surveillance of isolated areas, warehouses or construction yards or personal applications such as remotely checking personal assets or just confirming that everything is OK at home.

Access to images is restricted by a login and password, ensuring the confidentiality of all content.

Wireless SafePack is sold as a standard package with everything included, with no upfront costs and at a monthly charge of 53.80 euros over 24 months. The complete package includes all the solution’s components: camera, router, data card and service, which includes the viewing licences and sufficient traffic volume for normal use.
