June 2005.
For those of you travelling the Pacific Highway through North Sydney you may have noticed construction of a new office complex where once was located the only petrol station in the region. What you may not be aware of is the camera mounted on the roof of the Northpoint building directly opposite.

Eon-FX was engaged to cover this project in 2004 however complications arose that delayed installation of the system. Now we have been given the go-ahead the camera is capturing the construction progress and results have already been generated.

The construction company Thies Pty Ltd is now considering connection of this stand alone system to the Internet so that images can be updated and viewed remotely. It might seem a simple task but the logistics of having the system on top of the highest building in North Sydney have already proved a daunting challenge.

"If we can obtain an ADSL link to the unit the rest is pretty straight forward. The VM95 software can be configured to take care of all fast ftp transfers and update the web server automatically" said Greg Dunn of Eon-FX. "We can also provide automated secondary archiving, automatic MPeg creation and a range of Java Applets for web site display to suit the client's needs. The Applet we use the most allows the viewer to move and zoom around the high resolution frame as if they were controlling a pan/tilt camera."

We will keep you informed of our progress and hope to post a link to the relevant web page soon.
