Benefits of PoE Mobile Surveillance Systems

The benefits of a PoE-based surveillance system are that it is more cost-effective in the long-run, simple to implement, flexible, higher performance and more scalable.

Cost Effectiveness

The PoE mobile surveillance system is more cost-effective in the long-run as the cabling costs are minimized by combining power and data through a CAT5 cable; this also means it requires less time to install (lower labor costs); IP cameras can be remotely switched on/ off or programmed to turn on /off at certain time(s) of the day, making it a highly scalable and power-efficient solutions.

Benefits of Neousys PoE Mobile Surveillance Systems

Clearer Image with Digital Signal

An area where IP cameras are way ahead of CCTV cameras is in resolution. A PoE-based surveillance system can send digital signals up to 100 meters without a signal booster. The PoE's digital signal infrastructure offers better performance and scalability for commercial vehicle applications!

What is Baidu's Apollo?*

With over 50 renowned partners around the globe, Baidu's Apollo Open Platform* is an open source self-driving vehicle tech platform. It provides a complete hardware and software service solution that includes cloud data services, software, vehicle and hardware platform. Baidu offers open source code and capabilities in obstacle perception, trajectory planning, vehicle control, vehicle operating systems, as well as a complete set of testing tools and other functions.

Why Autonomous Driving Cars?

The human behind the steering wheel is the weakest link in a moving car. Human errors such as drowsy driving, reckless driving, speeding, texting, drinking, or just generally being distracted behind the wheel can occur and autonomous cars can rectify all of the above and will never be fatigued. By limiting the human error factor, autonomous vehicles offer safer roads.

An autonomous vehicle will always observe speed limits offering smooth traffic flow (less braking/ accelerating) which is also more energy efficient and causes less pollution.

Making Open Source Autonomous Driving a Reality

Baidu's Apollo* brings autonomous driving closer to reality and Neousys was there from the beginning of July 2017 where the autonomous vehicle was capable in a restricted environment. By December 2017, the Apollo project moved onto simple suburban roads. From now till 2020, the aim is to bring open source autonomous vehicles utilizing the Apollo platform to normal road conditions, freeways and highways.

What is vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) technology?

Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is an automobile technology designed for dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) to allow vehicles to communicate with one another. V2V communications utilizes all forms of wireless components and form a vehicular ad hoc network on the road (VANET). In the US, the "Wireless Access for Vehicular Environments" V2V standard is based upon the lower-level IEEE 802.11p standard where it uses a region of the 5.9 GHz band.

Why we need vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) technology?

Adoption of Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication can be utilized to overcome human errors and reduce road accidents by over 75%. U.S. Department of Transportation has been adopting technologies to allow vehicles to communicate with each other and prevent collisions since 2014 with V2V communication being one of the key components of future autonomous vehicle driving systems.
