I. About RAVS
For years CCTV system operators have worked with transmission media such as coaxial cable, fiber optics and
microwave. Each of these is limited by distance and/or physical barriers and can be very expensive to install and
maintain. Often, a long distance transmission system, such as RAVS, utilizing an internet or intranet connection is a
simpler, more cost effective alternative. e necessary lines are already in service so that there is virtually no limit on
where information can be sent.
By simply plugging a video transmission system into a TCP/IP network (Internet/Intranet), an easy and practical
video transmission can be effectively achieved between two locations. Some examples include restaurants,
convenience stores, retail stores and supermarkets, utility companies, fast food chains, car dealerships, gated
communities, universities, banks, gas station chains, and so many more.
