Introduction to the StreetView System
StreetView is a wireless video system designed for outdoor use.
It is capable of working in licence exempt frequency bands with no network running costs, unlike
3G/4G systems.
It comprises of a rugged outdoor IP67 rated pan, tilt and 36x zoom camera with an integrated

In addition, the system also includes a UHF telemetry link allowing remote PTZ camera control.
The weather proof enclosure of the StreetView camera is suitable for long term outdoor
deployment, making it ideal for surveillance, perimeter security, crime prevention and town centre
monitoring.
StreetView cameras are supplied with a bracket suitable for wall or pole mounting. The camera is
powered from an AC mains supply.
At the receive end is a COFDM video receiver, this is a stand alone IP66 rated rugged unit which
receives video via two diversity antennas, its RF connectors allow the antennas to be detached
during storage.
The video receiver also includes the same UHF telemetry link as the PTZ camera, thereby allowing
the control of the camera’s PTZ functions via a PC connection on the rear of the video receiver.

At the receiver end there is a serial data comms connector which is used to send telemetry data to
the camera. The power input to the receiver is also integrated into the same interface cable. The
video is output is on a standard BNC connector on the rear of the video receiver.

PTZ Camera Connections
It is necessary to connect power into the
PTZ camera.
These contacts have been left as bare
ended wires to connect the camera directly
to an AC power supply.
An IP68 rated in-line interface plug is
included in the kit. Connecting the power
into the PTZ camera should only be only
carried out by a competent electrician.

COFDM Video Receiver Connections
In addition to the antenna connections there are two connectors on the rear of the video receiver.
One of these is a BNC connector for the CVBS video signal out, this should be connected to a video
monitor. The other connection is a binder connector used for the control, power and telemetry
data connections.
