Meshing Surveillance

I am working with residential building owners in a very high crime area of Los Angeles. We intend to cover the entire 5 square mile area with IP-based surveillance cameras. The trick is that each of the buildings in this area is owned by individuals, acting in a loose confederation as property owners. They require high quality cameras because the ambient lighting will vary dramatically and a high level of visual acuity will assist in making proper identifications.

While the cameras must be high quality the infrastructure must be low cost, yet tie each camera into the network.

New mesh network technology dramatically reduces the cost and planning required to improve infrastructure and therefore creates a platform for higher functioning cameras. This configuration is working well in a few cities and we hope to apply it to our situation in Los Angeles. If you have any comments, please contact me at joelrakow@olliviercorp.com.
