"Where would we be without AgileMesh? Light-years behind. We appreciated working with your team to get our systems in order."

Case Study: Crime Surveillance
SITUATION:
After an attack on a female worker, investigators requested cameras to enhance traditional surveillance methods. The area of operation, which is a thoroughfare for walkers, joggers and bicyclists, consisted of large buildings on either side of a 100-yard-wide greenbelt bike path.
CHALLENGE:
The rapid deployment of multiple cameras to provide visibility from both sides of the path, around trees and other obstacles, in daylight and nighttime environments, with little ambient illumination. The windows on the adjoining buildings did not open, nor, due to the nature of the business, were the windows available to be used. The buildings were three to five commercial stories high, the floor of the greenbelt depressed another 15 to 30 feet and the area of interest was more than 400 yards long.
SOLUTION:
Scouting the area indicated that the easiest, most efficient way to provide the needed surveillance was to deploy AgileMesh camera nodes. Within hours of the scout, one node was deployed to a position on the roof of a three-story building east of the bike path and one node was deployed to a position on the corner of a five-story building west of the bike path. The two nodes, which were approximately 450 yards apart, created a connection between them. Monitoring was accomplished by connecting an Ethernet cord to one node. A laptop computer was installed in a utility building on the roof. This system provided control of both cameras and the ability to monitor the area from a single vantage point using the zoom lenses to “look” into areas that were normally difficult to observe. The surveillance was initially requested for five to seven days; however, the surveillance provided by the AgileMesh nodes was so valuable that the surveillance was extended for more than two weeks.
