.
The purpose of this document is to provide a Mesh Camera System Product Installer (or Field
Engineer) with the required information necessary to setup and configure a Sony SNC-RX550N/WMT camera for use within a Motorola MEA (WMB) or MOTOMESH environment.
Motorola’s intelligent MEA technology turns all Mesh Camera System nodes and clients into
router/repeaters that form a seamless, wireless network automatically. A Mesh Camera System
network can be deployed independently, or as part of a wider mesh network using additional MEA
devices. Video and other broadband data can "hop" through every device in the network – even to and
from vehicles traveling at highway speeds. Due to this Multi-Hopping feature, the video network
actually becomes more robust as additional cameras and other MEA devices are added.
How to Use this Guide
.............................................
.
.
Due to the fact that the Mesh Camera System product kits utilize several components to be setup and
configured, this Guide will focus on the setup and configuration of the Motorola MOTOMESH
WMC7300 wireless cards for use with the Sony SNC-RX550N-MT camera. Detailed dome housing
and hardware assembly information, as well other Camera Setup information will be referred to the
specific manufacturer’s document(s). This document will provide an overview of the entire product
assembly along with tips from the field wherever possible.
