Sony and Motorola Partner on Mesh Camera Video Networking

Motorola and Sony Electronics announced a reseller agreement that will make Sony IPELA remote video cameras compatible with Motorola's MOTOMESH technology, which supports up to four radio networks in a single access point, and Motorola's Mesh Enabled Architecture (MEA).



The cameras are being sold by Motorola as its Mesh Camera Wireless Video Networking System for municipal deployments. The mesh-enabled cameras can be configured to operate over licensed 4.9 GHz public safety or unlicensed 2.4 GHz frequencies.



The cameras feature a 360-degree "endless" pan and can tilt from 0 to 90 degrees. The full-range pointing capabilities can be masked to create privacy zones with spherical (three-dimensional) tracing, and its high quality lens has a 26X optical zoom. Also, Sony's Real Shot Manager software allows personnel to remotely control pan, tilt and zoom options.



Motorola's Multi-Hopping technology turns every mesh- enabled camera into a router/repeater.
