Introduction to the Guardian VIP System

Guardian VIP is a rapid deployable wireless video security system. It has been designed for

protecting travelling VIPs staying in hotels and apartments.

The wireless video camera nodes are designed to blend in with the surrounding environment,

disguised as items commonly located in hotels and apartments.

The camera nodes link back to an operator’s console where all of the video feeds can be monitored.

At the core of the system is a digital MESH radio technology. The MESH radio allows video data to

The system also records and raises alarms in the event of motion or light level changes. The central

console can display video from up to 6 camera nodes and can support up to 4 triggers from each

camera node.

The system also has a VIP panic button. Once the VIP presses the button it raises a high priority

alarm back at the central monitoring console.

The system also has the ability to host a composite video input, so as to allow the integration of the

hotel’s in-house CCTV surveillance into the system.

All aspects of the system can be run on battery power. All batteries can be recharged from mains

power in the Operator’s Base Station.

The entire system packs away into a single Peli Storm iM2300 case with a packed weight of 26kg.

Default IP Addresses

The Guardian VIP system uses mesh radios to connect between the camera nodes and the Base

Station. Additionally there is an IP encoder to accompany each mesh radio.

Each of these devices has a default IP address, as detailed in the following table which describes a

system with a Base Station, one Relay Node and three CCTV nodes.

The system is available in a number of frequency bands. Users should know which band they have

before deploying the system.

Both the Mesh Radio and the Video Encoders have a web browser built in.

Pointing a PC web browser to one of the above default IP addresses will display a web page that will

Getting Started with Operator’s Base Station

The Guardian VIP system is a mesh camera system. Video from the system is received at the Base

Station and displayed on the Operator’s laptop.

Connecting the Base Station

Firstly, users should identify the Base Station and its antennas from the kit and connect all the

antennas as shown below, using the 8mm spanner supplied for the SMA connectors.

Care should be taken when connecting the antennas

to not over tighten them, which will damage the threads.

Connect the antennas as shown, the

Panic Alarm Antenna is the one in the

middle.

Once the three antennas are connected to the Base Station, as shown above, the power and

Ethernet connections can be made.
