2.1 Applications
NetCam was primarily designed for surveillance of areas and objects or generally for
transmission of video and audio signals, e.g. for audiovisual information services.
Since data is transmitted via the public telephone network (ISDN, GSM, analog lines),
the distance between camera and receiving monitor is no longer limited to a building
or campus, but extends world wide.
A PC-based monitoring station equipped with ViewStation dials up the various objects
that are to be surveyed. Remote maintenance and supervision of machinery is as
easily accomplished as the surveillance of houses or summer homes, typically pro-
vided by respective service providers (security on demand).
This affordable solution is compatible to the existing infrastructure and in addition
opens up new areas of application: The ‘callable camera’ supplies the desired live vid-
eo information about road conditions, the current weather situation or the utilization of
ski resorts, just naming a few examples. In summary, NetCam literally delivers an ac-
tual ‘insight’ into distant events. It is possible to automate surveillance of unattended
