The Rugged Cams Legacy
A Business Built on Experience
Rugged Cams was founded by Allen Spears, a seasoned entrepreneur with hands-on experience in industries like car washes, gas stations, and laundromats. His firsthand understanding of the security challenges faced by business owners in these sectors gave him a distinct advantage when developing security solutions tailored to their needs. Spears' engineering background further enabled him to design security systems capable of withstanding the harsh environments often encountered in these industries. Over the years, Rugged Cams has expanded its reach, providing security systems for a diverse array of applications, from fishing ships featured on "Deadliest Catch" to police and military vehicles, weather/tornado trucks, and even the explosive ordnance industry.
Meeting Modern Challenges
As the security landscape has evolved, so too have the demands placed on Rugged Cams' products. Modern customers expect more than just durability; they require systems that can operate in remote and unattended sites, often in extreme conditions. To meet these demands, Rugged Cams has continually pushed the boundaries of what is possible in security technology. Their systems are designed to provide reliable, high-quality surveillance in even the most challenging environments, ensuring that their customers can operate with confidence, no matter the circumstances.
Integrating ZBT Router Technology
The Need for a Robust Network Solution
One of the key challenges faced by Rugged Cams was finding a reliable network solution that could withstand the diverse environmental conditions their products are subjected to. This need became particularly apparent when they sought to develop an outdoor Network Video Recorder (NVR) that could endure both the scorching heat of Texas and the freezing cold of Alaska. Additionally, they required a solution that could provide reliable connectivity in remote locations, allowing users to access and manage their NVRs and cameras from a distance.
Discovering the ZBT Series Router
After testing various network solutions, Rugged Cams discovered the ZBT Series Router, a product that quickly became an integral part of their outdoor NVR units. The ZBT Router's durability, reliability, and ease of use made it the perfect fit for Rugged Cams' needs. The router's ability to function as a Wi-Fi hotspot enabled users to connect to their NVRs and cameras remotely, providing the flexibility and convenience required for modern security systems.
The Mango: A Game-Changer for Rugged Cams
The specific model that caught Rugged Cams' attention was the ZBT Mango, a pocket-sized router that packs a punch. According to CJ Gausvik from Rugged Cams, "We use the ZBT series, with nearly 'out of the box' functionality. The Mango serves as a Wi-Fi hotspot so that the customer can connect remotely with our NVR. We also have some customers use USB cellular devices to extend the range—and we are very happy with the compatibility of the Mango for these cellular devices."
Gausvik further explained how the Mango solved many of the issues they were experiencing with other hotspots: "We thought about all the issues we were having with our hotspots, and the Mango solved all those problems. After testing one, we were sold almost immediately. Easy to set up, reliable, and affordable, how can you go wrong?"
