How
It Works ... Floodcam is unique! The "camera in a light bulb" simply screws
in to any light socket. Inside the "bulb" is a sophisticated low-light
monochrome camera, coupled to our exclusive IRFS patented circuitry. The
video signal is "encoded" by this circuit and fed directly to the 110
volt power line. Each camera has a companion "decoder" which plugs into
any wall outlet. A typical user would plug in the decoder at the outlet
nearest the ERS server. A standard video output connects the decoder to
any camera input on back of server.
Once
the decoder is plugged in and connected you see live video it's simple
and easy. There are no wires to run, no holes to drill, and no antennas
or complicated "tuning" required.
How
Do We Do It? Using a proprietary Induction RF System, The Floodcam can
send live video across the power line anywhere in your home or business
location. Let's just say it in simple terms: The video signal "wraps around"
the power line, completely separate from the AC voltage. There are a total
of 17 separate patents, and others pending, covering the IRFS process,
making Floodcam so Unique.
How
Far Can It Go? We've successfully sent Floodcam video over 2000 feet of
AC wiring. Distances in your home or business will vary based on how the
building is wired.
Don't
You Get Interference? No! And that's remarkable. Even though the power
line is loaded with refrigerator motors, heater elements, peaks and dips,
Floodcam "sees right past" 99% of the power line junk.
How
Much Area Can I view?... Floodcam sees an 85-degree wide angle,
from 6 inches to optical infinity. Practically speaking, your viewing
range in daylight extends to 100 yards or more, depending on the amount
of detail you expect. Obviously, something as large as a car or truck
can be recognized at a greater distance than, say, a small dog or cat.
Wide-angle viewing is the best all-around choice for any type of security
camera.
Will
It See In The Dark?... YES! In darkness, Floodcam is sensitive
enough to give you a readable image with the bare minimum of lighting.
The built-in, patented infra-red system will see in total darkness to
a maximum of 30 feet; more with supplemental IR floodlights.
Floodcam
is fully "plug and play" compatible with any device using standard RCA
connections.
