The FG1001D is a video frame grabber system designed to record, store and remotely retrieve video information. The unit is designed for remote or offshore areas, and can be accessed via direct telephone connection, or by cellular connection to its built in modem.

The FG1001D has inputs for 3 separate composite video signals, as well as ports for direct keyboard and monitor input for debugging. The unit captures video one frame at a time, compresses video data into JPEG format, and stores files on disk for later retrieval. These files are stored in a data format, containing  date and time information.

The FG1001D is powered by a PC104 / 486 industrial processor platform for maximum flexibility. Custom applications are readily available, and the FG1001D can be configured for almost any remote access application. The FG1001D requires 12-volt DC power, and is capable of being powered by either batteries or solar cell arrays.

Custom retrieval software is included with the FG1001D. Omni Tech's in-house programmers can customize the FG1001D to suit client requirements.
