we don't just imagine things, we make them!


IMPORTANT NOTE: The TCS-CAM is no longer in production. We now produce the new model TCS-CAM II, with jpeg compression and available in GSM and GPRS.

DPS-Promatic has developed TCS-CAM a reliable GSM digital camera for stand alone applications.
With this GSM camera it is possible to take a picture and send it over a GSM network.
It comes into a weatherproof IP56 box with Ni_Cd battery pack and AC adapter.
TCS-CAM is a reliable solution to set up security cams that are really stand alone
It is not aimed at the consumer market, where many camera phones are available. It has been engineered for professional use. You can leave it alone in the top of a mountain and control it completely from a remote location.
At the bottom of the page you will find an executable in Visual Basic that you can install in your PC to try our existing cameras, that is part of the package we supply with the TCS-CAM.
Please take a look at the TCS-CAM picture gallery. We have actually downloaded those pictures using the TCS-CAMs and the same software that we provide on line on this page.
We have also setup a WEB server that calls 2 of our GSM cameras during the day and publishes the pictures on line. Check real time TCS-CAM pictures of our factory on our TCS-CAM database on line.

    TCS-CAM GSM digital camera

    DPS-Promatic has developed TCS-CAM a reliable GSM digital camera for stand alone applications.
    With this GSM camera it is possible to take a picture and send it over the GSM network.
    It comes into a weatherproof IP56 box that includes all needed to use it.
    TCS-CAM is a reliable solution to set up WEB CAMS without using a PC.
    It doesn't use MMS to send pictures. It uses (usually) cheaper standard data calls.

    Technical specifications:
  • Shoots COLOUR pictures in QCIF (176x144) and quasi CIF formats (312x208)
  • Dual band GSM modem engine (Siemens TC35) included
  • Power: 5V, with 1100 Mah Ni-Cd battery included. Battery charger on board. It can be charged directly by a solar panel or any other 12V DC source.
  • Power consumption: 25 ma in stand by mode
  • 1 Logic Input to shoot the photo upon alarm condition, with SMS alarm message generation.
  • 1 Logic Output to switch ON an illumination system while taking picture.
  • Optional microphone input to listen to environment with a voice call (not installed in standard version)

  • TCS-CAM GSM digital camera into a IP56 box
    Size of the box: 155x115x70
    Content description:
  • 1-Battery pack (separate PCB, below),1100 mah Ni-Cd.
  • 2-SIM holder
  • 3-Antenna
  • 4-Power plug
  • 5-IP56 cable output
  • 6-I/O connector
  • 7-Microphone (optional)
  • 8-Dual Band GSM Module type Siemens TC35

    Price
    TCS-camera costs 490 Euro already installed into its IP56 box ready to be installed outside.


  • Operating modes:
  • Shoots a picture and sends it upon a data call (standard mode)
  • Shoots a picture and sends an alarm SMS upon trigger from Input (Alarm mode), in this way it is possible to call it later and still get a picture that was shot when the alarm occurred
  • This camera is an ideal solution as a WEB-CAM without using a PC on the location, for security controls, for any situation where you need a reliable device that can send a picture and can be remotely controlled.





    The above screen is what you see once you have installed the TCS-CAM Controller in your PC.


    Pushing the limits: the above configuration is quite extreme, and still perfectly working. a Apple Powerbook G4, with Virtual PC and Windows 98 in emulation mode, that uses a Ericsson T39 as a GSM modem, connected via Blue Tooth. We go around with a telephone in the pocket and dowload images from our cameras without any problem.
