Chapter 1: Overview

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The purpose of this document is to provide a Mesh Camera System Product Installer (or Field
Engineer) with the required information necessary to setup and configure a Sony SNC-RX550N/W-
MT camera for use within a Motorola MEA (WMB) or MOTOMESH environment.
Motorola's intelligent MEA technology turns all Mesh Camera System nodes and clients into
router/repeaters that form a seamless, wireless network automatically. A Mesh Camera System
network can be deployed independently, or as part of a wider mesh network using additional MEA
devices. Video and other broadband data can "hop" through every device in the network – even to and
from vehicles traveling at highway speeds. Due to this Multi-Hopping feature, the video network
actually becomes more robust as additional cameras and other MEA devices are added.
