Summary of Work Performed:
Public Safety Broadband is currently deploying 4.9 GHz city-wide video surveillance cameras on the Riverside City-Wide 50 square mile 4.9 GHz Public Safety
Network. Public Safety Broadband designed, developed, and manufactured the 4.9 GHz wireless video surveillance camera system currently being used in Riverside.
The Riverside camera include an AXIS IP camera, 4.9 Wireless Client, and 4.9 GHz Wireless AP. The 4.9 GHz wireless client connects the camera automatically to the
4.9 GHz City-Wide network. The camera was developed to be quickly deployed anywhere in the 50 square miles of the City of Riverside. The camera solution is
integrated into a single enclosure, with a 90-280VAC power supply, AXIS 214 IP camera, 4.9GHz Wireless Client, and 4.9 GHz Wireless AP. The complete system
weights less than 10lb and can be relocated by a single person in less than 60 min anywhere within the 50 square mile network. The built in 4.9 GHz AP also provides
an IAN Incident Area Network between Police Vehicles and the camera, allowing streaming video directly to the Police Officer’s vehicle. This local 4.9 AP interface is
also used to manage the camera system on site. The Riverside Genetec Omnicast network allows video from any of these camera to be streamed into any of the
Riverside mobile police vehicles. The PSB camera system can also be powered by 12VDC and deployed as a portable system installed on a tripod. Riverside is also
testing PSB Cellular Router option to provide a portable solution that can be deployed outside their City-Wide Network. Riverside is also testing PSB’s RS-232 Serial
Server module to monitor Riverside’s electric distribution system equipment throughout the city. The integrated RS-232 Serial Server allows Riverside to remotely
monitor and control any Citywide equipment equip with a RS232 management port.
