The OnSite system transmits pictures from
digital cameras at the construction site to a picture-database server on the Internet. OnSite supports
both fixed and hand-held cameras. Fixed cameras
send pictures automatically on any required schedule.
Hand-held cameras send pictures on an as-needed basis for progress reports, troubleshooting and
documentation. OnSite supports any hand-held camera (or other device) that produces JPEG pictures.
|
| |
| OnSite uses high-resolution cameras. OnSite uses high-resolution
digital cameras to provide pictures that are dramatically clearer than any video
image. OnSite picture resolution starts at 640x480 and extends to 2048x1536.
|
| |
| OnSite zoom / pan / tilt is completely digital. Because OnSite incorporates
high-resolution digital cameras rather than video cameras, the OnSite zoom / pan / tilt mechanism does
not require any failure-prone (and expensive) mechanical devices.

The unique OnSite system architecture requires only a standard phone line at the project site,
but transmits pictures to viewers over multiple high-speed Internet connections.
OnSite transmits pictures from the project site to the high-performance OnSite server via a standard analog phone line (provided by the customer)
and a dial-up Internet connection (provided free with OnSite service). From the OnSite server, pictures travel via multiple high-speed
Internet connections to the viewer. OnSite delivers the performance of a multi-processor high-speed
server with multiple high-speed connections to the Internet, while requiring only a standard phone line at the project site.
In fact, OnSite can share this phone line with a fax machine.
If your job site has a wired or Wi-Fi wireless LAN, OnSite can use that high-speed connection instead of a dial-up phone line.

OnSite incorporates extensive fault-tolerant features.
In real life, things can go wrong. OnSite software recovers automatically from failures in the Internet,
the telephone network, and power to the OnSite cameras. For example, if a failure in the telephone line or Internet prevents
communication with the OnSite server, the equipment on the job site will continue to take pictures and store them locally. Later, when communications
are restored, the stored pictures will be uploaded automatically to the server.

- Pictures from the OnSite database can be included dynamically in a custom Web site for your project.
- One OnSite camera controller can run up to four cameras.
- Cameras can be located up to 4,000 feet from the controller.

The technical support team monitors your site proactively.
The OnSite equipment at your job site is monitored remotely every
business day. If a problem is indicated, the technical support team
will proactively notify your designated technical contact and provide
troubleshooting consultation by phone and email.
The toll-free number for the OnSite technical support team is
800-586-4345. Primary hours for technical-support calls are
8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. central time on normal business days.
Extended hours by prior arrangement for installation assistance and troubleshooting
are anytime, 7 x 24. Replacement components, if needed, ordinarily are sent for
morning delivery on the next business day.

The OnSite Viewer is a robust thin-client Web application.
Users access OnSite pictures through ordinary Web browsers, which transparently download the required
data from the Internet. This allows anyone with a computer, a connection to the Internet,
and proper authorization, to access the OnSite database at any time.

weatherproof housing that OnSite uses can be found at the Pelco web site for the
EH4700
series outdoor enclosure.
