    Camera mounting/encapsulation in extreme high-altitude conditions

    Those folk linked above in my edited post should be able to advise. Big bonus dealing with scientists (especially Australians) is that they are usually really helpful for people who show an interest in their work.

    Camera mounting/encapsulation in extreme high-altitude conditions

    Wow! What a beautiful location. Too cold for me though. The situation reminded me of penguin cams video. Not the same requirements but remember being blown away how durable these trail cams are. If a trail cam can perform like that in Antarctica pretty sure that a box cam in a suitable heated...

    Best strategy for remote access?

    Cosmo have you considered an Arduino Uno teamed up with a finger print reader? Should be less than $50 all up on Ali. Personally I wouldn't use an card/token system as anyone can tag on or off.

    Best strategy for remote access?

    Security is 80% psychology and ~20% technology. Contractors are trusted to fulfill their end of any agreement whether you are there or not. I endeavor to give people enough rope to prove themselves. Basic security principals such as signage can be a great first line of defense. Hell, the...

    Best strategy for remote access?

    A way that has proven itself reliable on this island, is to give contractors access to a wireless network on site. Don't have to give them too much bandwidth, just better than they can get from a 3G or 4G connection. Then sit back and monitor the logs for connected clients. There are other ways...

    Where is the threshold of "completely uncomfortable" and anything else? :D Doesn't sound like a big place if only two cameras will provide coverage. Never thought I would miss the good old days when security gear required training and a license to purchase (outside of the land of the brave...

    POE IP camera non compliant with 802.3af ... Looking for cable

    As above but these are much cheaper and smaller, plus you get 2 for the price of one if you can change a female to male 2.1mm jack. The small size and price are the only distinguishing features.

    Best strategy for remote access?

    Remote systems are something I do a few time a year. Yes the other side of the planet remote. I have a few questions that may need to be considered. 1) Do you have someone available at remote location who is capable of swapping out hardware should a fault develop? I usually buy 3 sets of...

    Exposing Cameras to Internet

    Edited my previous response to include Dynamic DNS info. Sounds like Jack may not have a static IP address. These concepts can take a little time to get a hang of and some research is required to "visualise" the solution. I find it a bit difficult to say do this, then do that to get a working...

    OpenVPN If you have don't have a static IP address from your ISP (Internet Service Provider) you may need to configure Gargoyle to use a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) provider. no-ip.com is a good free DDNS provider and Gargoyle will take care of keeping the account active. You will find the "Dynamic...
