The system is ideal for providing surveillance in a wide range of areas including shopping mall parking lots, enterprise warehouses and university campuses. Digital cameras are simply connected to BrownstoneIT Wireless LAN Subscriber Units which transmit the high-resolution video back to a centralised Base Station in real-time.

Access Control

Through an Access Control List that contains the MAC address of every wireless device, filters can be set up to prevent unauthorized access to network resources. The BrownstoneIT WLAN can discriminate based on the destination address of packets it handles by maintaining a list of disallowed destinations. This helps improve efficiency by eliminating unnecessary transmission of data packets.

Industry-standard interoperability

WLAN delivers speeds without compromising compatibility. With both WiFi ™ certification and IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g wireless LAN industry standard compliance it provides you with excellent network interoperability.

Network security

Security is an issue when data is transmitted without wires. In the air, transmitted data can be easily intercepted if not well protected by a security scheme. The BrownstoneIT WLAN provides the necessary security, using the enhanced 64/128/256-bit industry-standard WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption protocol. Data privacy mechanism is based on a shared key algorithm, as described in the wireless LAN standard.

Built-in DHCP Server

DHCP server function is built into this Access Point that automatically assigns IP addresses to connected wireless nodes. This eliminates the need to install a separate DHCP server on the network.

Detachable Antenna

WLAN is equipped with an SMA reverse detachable dipole antenna with an effective range of 100 meters indoors, or 400 meters outdoors. Where a longer range is required, you can easily remove this antenna and replace it with a higher gain antenna.
