For communities across the country looking to expand, site security can often be high on the list of concerns. Infilling with new homes, not to mention the construction of a clubhouse or other robust amenities, is a lengthy process. When crews have gone home and nobody is left to monitor the new phase, trespassing, potential vandalism, and theft become a greater possibility.
Community operators who are looking for ways to monitor their construction sites, ensure the security of a property, and maintain budgets by reducing loss now have a new, simple, yet high-tech offering to consider.
Bedrock Wireless offers a product with comprehensive site monitoring that allows users to constantly keep an eye on their assets at the property and in the position that is most important to them.
The new system is made up of four cameras, each with 360-degree coverage, mounted on a 4×4 wood post. Despite its simplicity, Bedrock offers a range of features that maximizes effectiveness and usability. The system allows live, online check-ins at any time. Additionally, it has an AI-based motion recording and floodlight system designed to recognize people and vehicles, providing constant surveillance even when its user is not watching. Furthermore, Bedrock Wireless is allowing unlimited accounts and sharing for their device, as well as unlimited video storage, smart device connection, an automated email upon power loss, and even a timelapse feature.
“The device itself is waterproof and can operate between temperatures of negative 40F ° and 115F°, making it quite robust,” Bedrock Wireless founder and CEO Stephen Smith said. “It weighs in at around 25 pounds, allowing ease of transport.”
The device is plugged in for power and has battery backup that lasts two hours.
The cameras have a field-of-view of 110 degrees, and can view as far as 150 feet in the daytime and — with built-in infrared capabilities — around 70 feet at night. Each camera has a resolution of four megapixels, higher resolution than standard definition cameras.
Overnight the system also makes use of flood lights to illuminate any suspected trespassers. Finally, this system comes in at $350 a month, making it well within the budgets of community operators looking to expand.
“The Bedrock Wireless camera system is simple and easy to use, while being sturdy and reliable,” Smith said. “It is a valuable tool for manufactured home community operators in the midst of expansion or improvement projects. With its constant surveillance, threat deterrence, robustness, and ease of access, this system provides a cost-effective solution to the security concerns.”
