Remote Viewer™ Series

Manage your remote site with regular photos

The Remote Viewer series of systems (Fixed Sight and Lite Sight) has been designed for managers of remote sites, outside or inside of cellular coverage, who need regular updates on weather conditions, equipment, or natural resource infrastructures. Rugged and compact, these systems are lightweight solutions that include a tough camera and an intelligent two-way satellite or cellular transceiver.

Customized for permanent, semi-permanent, and temporary installations

We understand that some installations are long-term, e.g., hydrologic monitoring, climate change measurement, marine buoy installation tracking, glacier monitoring, or volcano monitoring, where others are seasonal and temporary, e.g., wildfire monitoring, water security monitoring, or drought monitoring. Our systems have been developed to meet real-life needs: the Lite Sight is our lightweight system and is easy to transport from location to location and set up quickly—offering significant cost-savings by allowing you to use one system for several sites; the Fixed Sight has been designed to allow cameras to be mounted up to 12 feet away from the control panel and is ideal for permanent and semi-permanent installations, like river gauge station monitoring.

Built on Nupoint’s satellite transceiver core technology

The Remote Viewer series of remote monitoring solutions is built on Nupoint’s core Remote Connect satellite transceiver technology—cost-effective and reliable M2M communications that allow you to monitor, track, and control assets (fixed or mobile).

Easy setup and management

Not only can the Remote Viewer remote camera systems be set up and ready to start taking pictures at your remote site in under an hour, but you can also manage your systems from the comfort of your office 24/7/365. Images are sent via email or are accessible via the Nupoint portal.

Eliminate unnecessary travel

Traveling to remote locations is costly; seeing regular photographs of the remote locations you manage, such as mountain passes, forest fires, river and ice dams, will significantly reduce your need to travel. Additionally, having a Remote Viewer solution set up in your remote location will eliminate unsuccessful travel where poor conditions at your destination could result in a wasted trip. The Remote Viewer systems reduce your costs and the risks associated with traveling to remote sites, and they increase your effectiveness.

Nupoint and Globalstar work together to bring solutions to your desktop

Nupoint’s reliable and affordable remote camera systems operate in remote locations using the Globalstar Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network. This network offers reliable, cost-effective satellite communications over its proven network.

Review on Remote Viewer's performance from BC Wildfire Service forest professional

“I discovered that by having Remote Viewer systems in place, the BC Wildfire Service could allocate resources more efficiently by not tying up aircraft and personnel on monitoring missions, making them available for higher priority responses.”

—Andy Low, RPF, Frontline Operations Group Ltd and formerly with the BC Wildfire Services

Remote Viewer solves some real challenges for BC Hydro

“At BC Hydro multiple Nupoint Remote Viewer satellite cameras are being used to solve some of the real challenges posed with remote monitoring in BC’s harsh climate; the introduction of the Remote Viewer has been a great success, meeting our image quality expectations along with very reliable data transmission and low power consumption. Hydrologists use the photos delivered by the system primarily to monitor existing on-site monitoring equipment. The Remote Viewer images are also used by hydrologists to monitor snow line elevation; by meteorologists to watch the weather; by helicopter pilots to plan their work in remote and mountainous areas of the province; and by avalanche professionals as evidence of recent activity for preparing avalanche travel advisories.”
