Satellite Security Australia

Military and government organisations have been using satellites to spy on matters of national security, enemy military locations, weapons testing areas and headquarters, but satellite photography and video surveillance has more recently also been used by private companies and even Google Maps and other mapping technologies. 

Where can you hide when there are eyes in the sky?

As you would know, it is very important to protect your assets, especially if they are located in remote areas. It is not always possible to have enough security personel located on the ground or even enough video ca,meras to capture breaches in security in numerous places at once. That is where the benefit of satellite video security and surveillance comes in to play.

The display of signage indicating the presence of a satellite video surveillance system is enough of a deterrent for many would-be thieves, but it is beneficial to have the bite to back up the bark. Not only can satellite security monitor a breach in your security, it can also help by tracking the assailants and pin-pointing their locations after they have made their escape. Then there is the option to call in law enforcement to arrest the thieves. And the video footage can also be used to convict the thieves.

Satellite Security is of particular value to government and security agencies, remote mining facilities and machinery yards and even for monitoring breaches in national borders, airspace and international waters.

Live video streaming, CCTV, Video Encoding and image compression and are all technologies that can be considered and addressed by satellite security professionals.

But how can you just rent a satellite to monitor your equipment, remote location, machinery and staff?
Due to the location of satellites, it is not possible to simple install a video camera. These systems require meticulous planning and infrastructure and it is a lengthy process. It is best to contact an existing satellite video surveillance company and pay to have them monitor your location. These will usually be available on a contract where you pay month by month and it isn’t cheap. But when you consider and compare the value of what ever you are protecting, monitoring and guarding, it may well be worth the investment.
