13. Getting help and assistance: guide

"Mobile camera"- this is a device thanks to which you will always be aware of what is happening in the territory of interest to you. Be it an apartment, a country house or an office. Are you leaving your child with a nanny and are worried? Now you will always know what is happening in your absence. In addition, the device is so miniature that it will never attract too much attention.

The camera can be configured to send pictures from the surveillance site in the form of MMS messages to a specified number, and also, using a motion sensor that will signal any change in the camera’s field of view, you will receive photographs from the camera’s installation location. In addition, you can receive pictures via SMS request.
The MMS camera has a built-in microphone. If necessary, you can call the camera and listen to the sound.

Controlling the camera is no more difficult than using a regular phone.
The camera comes with a SIM card with a special tariff.

conclusions

Impressions from the camera remained mixed - the usefulness of such a security system is highly controversial. If an intruder breaks in, you will be notified of this modest photo of poor quality, and you will only be left helplessly trying to call the police.

Perhaps a smoke sensor is really useful, because it will prevent a fire, but such an application is too narrow. You can also “eavesdrop” on how the nanny treats your child.

A separate problem is the poor security of the communication channel. The sensors “communicate” with the camera on a widely used frequency; they can even be jammed by a regular radio station. At the same time, the data is not encrypted in any way, so there is no problem in sending a powerful false sensor signal and calmly starting hacking. And GSM jammers have long been sold on any radio market. I pressed the button and the camera was out of network coverage.

In our opinion, this is a kind of half-measure for an overly frugal user, who thereby reassures himself and buys a “placebo” for relatively little money.

For the operator, this is a way to slightly expand the number of subscribers by investing in software and promotion, but we would not predict a widespread solution. The name of the product accurately reflects its essence - a house under supervision, not under control. However, if alternatives like remote private security are not available, then a Beeline camera is obviously better than nothing.

An inexpensive complex designed for additional protection of residential, office or industrial premises. Positioned as the optimal combination of affordable price and functionality.

It should be noted right away that the “House under supervision” kit in no way claims to be a professional and “self-sufficient” security system. There are also no automated active countermeasures provided. On the corporate market the kit will be sold under the name “Video Control”, for private clients - “House under supervision”. The names themselves already speak about the purpose and capabilities of the system: to notify the “owner” of the premises about the occurrence of an event, provide him with audio/video information about what is happening and, possibly, attract the attention of people who find themselves near the protected premises.

Professional security and video monitoring systems work more efficiently, but they also cost an order of magnitude and a half more. “A house under supervision” can be considered a reasonable compromise: the kit itself costs 7,000 rubles, and the subscription fee for a special tariff is 300 rubles. per month. While kits are purchased and distributed as part of a pilot project, sales experience should determine the market need for such a product.

Background

Below are a few slides from the presentation. They are not directly related to the product itself, but they help to understand the logic of the operator who has taken on an uncharacteristic (as it may seem) business.

The field of interaction between M2M (Machine-to-Machine) devices is one of the most promising and fastest growing. New subscribers are born and grow up much more slowly than equipment and devices appear that need to transmit the collected information. Sometimes such devices materialize in series of many thousands at once, as was the case, for example, with the equipment of electric meters with devices for reading and transmitting information about electricity consumption.

Organizing data transfer “over the air” is a rational and beneficial solution for the customer. Sometimes the solution is the only possible one (for example, transport monitoring). The operator is also not at a loss: the “mechanical subscriber” generates a small but stable income, does not create problems and does not waste the expensive time of contact center employees on finding out the fate of the next three rubles “missing” from the balance sheet. At the same time, SMS exchange and/or insignificant (as a rule) GPRS traffic almost does not consume network resources, this is another plus.

If previously the operator played the role of a “pipe” for data transmission, then after the launch of a multifunctional SIM card management center in 2010, Beeline strives to develop full-featured turnkey solutions.

The first significant project in this area is considered to be a comprehensive solution “Automonitoring”, which allows you to track the location and many parameters of a car throughout Russia.

We can say that Beeline has “gone to the people” and intends to actively develop “boxed” products for small businesses and private users. The current "House of Care" was developed within the framework of this strategy.

Will this particular project take off? Hard to say. But the direction as a whole is correct and promising. Although, in terms of financial return, it is much more labor-intensive than large-scale M2M projects with large corporations.

"Video control" and "House under supervision"

Beeline produced a press release for this that was surprisingly high-quality in terms of information content. The essence of the proposal, functionality and main numbers were contained in just a couple of paragraphs. I am happy to quote:

“...a comprehensive M2M solution “Video control” consists of a set of sensors (motion, door opening, smoke, notification button and light and sound indicator), which are combined with a central control module - an MMS camera, a special tariff plan, and a WEB interface for configuration and system management. When any of the sensors is triggered, the system will send an alert to the user’s mobile phone in the form of an SMS message, as well as an MMS message with a photo of the client’s office taken at the time the sensor was triggered. If necessary, the client can make a call to the MMS camera from his phone and hear what is happening in the room where it is installed.

Together with the new M2M solution for the corporate market, Beeline is launching as a “pilot” project a similar product “Home under supervision” for mass market subscribers. As part of the Video Control solution, customers will be able to create a set of sensors themselves by purchasing them separately. The cost varies from 390 to 890 rubles per sensor, and the MMS camera costs 4,490 rubles. Included with the equipment is a special tariff plan with a subscription fee of 50 rubles per month, which includes 25 SMS and 25 MMS messages. In the mass market, the “Supervised Home” solution will be sold as a set – 7,000 rubles. The subscription fee for the service will be 300 rubles per month with included traffic packages from 80 to 3000 SMS and MMS messages.

The pilot project “House under supervision” extends to the Southern and Siberian regions of Russia. Its goal is to study consumer demand for the further development of M2M services in the mass market.”

As a clarification: “House under supervision” kits should be sold to individuals in the cities of Krasnodar, Barnaul, Kemerovo, Krasnoyarsk. Novosibirsk, Omsk, Tomsk, Abakan, Kyzyl, Gorno-Altaisk, Norilsk. Based on the results of the pilot project, Beeline will decide on the advisability of starting sales in other regions. The “Video control” option will be available to corporate clients throughout Russia.

How it works

The “control center” of the system is the GSM MMS V900 B1 MMS camera. The camera has been on the market for two years now, but the software “stuffing” of this device was redesigned specifically for the tasks of the security complex.

The sensors are constantly connected to the camera via a radio channel, and when any of them is triggered, the camera sends an SMS and MMS message with a photo of the scene of the event to the owner’s phone. Sensors can be purchased separately; the camera supports simultaneous operation with a maximum of 15 devices.

The camera has its own built-in motion sensor, it also works and is involved in the system. There is a light sensor and 8 infrared LEDs that turn on automatically when you need to take a photo in the dark. True, the real range of the illumination is two to three meters, up to five meters with light walls and light furniture.

The camera has its own built-in battery, the declared resource when the external power is turned off is about a day in stand-by mode. All sensors and the light and sound warning unit (siren) are equipped with autonomous power supply (batteries) with a service life of about 1 year.

When any of the sensors is triggered, the system sends SMS and MMS messages and can simultaneously activate a light and sound siren. Photos from the scene of the incident can be viewed via the Web interface. You can also call the MMS camera and listen to what is happening in the room through the microphone built into the camera. Detailed technical characteristics of the components are below, at the end of the text.

Control

The control unit, sorry for the tautology, can be controlled by sending SMS messages to the camera or via the Web interface. I remember that when I tested this camera a year and a half or two ago, I spent half a day just trying to deal with SMS control commands, of which there are a great many “good and different”. Therefore, the Web interface is a great blessing and an act of humanism. Everything is conveniently configured, the parameters for triggering alerts, the format of sent MMS, etc. are immediately visible on the computer screen. Naturally, access to the Internet is required to view and manage. If you really need it, some settings can be made via SMS commands; the changed parameters are synchronized with the Web control window.

Component Specifications

Sergey Potresov ()

MMS GSM camera - used for home security, cottage security, property and material assets monitoring. The GSM network is used to transmit information. The device body integrates a camera, infrared illumination (for taking photos in the dark), a motion detector, a microphone, a GSM module, and a rechargeable battery. The device is installed on both horizontal and vertical surfaces using a bracket, the swivel joint of which allows you to smoothly orient the camera in the desired direction.

The system is armed using a radio remote control - key fob, or via an SMS command. In the event of an intrusion, the infrared motion detector built into the device detects the intruder, the video camera takes pictures and sends them to the owner’s mobile phones (and/or e-mail) in the form of MMS messages. (It is possible to adjust the quantity, quality and resolution of photos). Through SMS commands sent from a mobile phone, you can control the device, in particular, receive MMS images at any time, regardless of whether the system is armed or not. Also, during an intrusion, the system can dial and send SMS messages with pre-recorded text. There is a PANIC button on the radio remote control; by pressing it, alarm SMS messages are sent. This option can be used by children or elderly people to attract attention. The MMS GSM device has an integrated microphone, with which you can listen to the situation.

To build an extended system that can be used as a dacha security or office security, as well as emergency notification, wireless radio sensors can be connected to the device. These can be magnetic contact sensors, motion sensors, vibration sensors, smoke sensors, water leaks and gas leaks.

The device is powered by a network adapter; when the main power supply is turned off, the device switches to power from the built-in battery, and also sends out an SMS with a text notifying about this event. The gsm alarm device is configured via SMS commands.

2. Camera Arming/Automatic Alarm

The arming command puts the camera into protection mode. In this mode, all wireless sensors and motion sensors associated with the camera are operational.

In security mode, if any wireless sensor or motion sensor is triggered, the camera will immediately report an alarm by sending an SMS message and MMS images to the owner’s mobile phone and the number specified by the owner. If the owner's number does not respond to the request, the camera will dial other specified numbers until it receives a response. This process is repeated three times, after which automatic dialing stops if none of the specified numbers answer.

3. Cancel the security mode

The Cancel Arm command disables the camera's alarm function. All connected wireless and motion sensors do not work unless an emergency code is entered.
