Remote Camera Installed Near Border - July 4, 2006

I want to wish you all a happy Forth of July as we celebrate America's 230th birthday with another Minuteman fence project in southern Arizona, more miles of fencing built and high-tech equipment offered by the Border Fence Project, to help replace the dangerous mission of border watcher with a 24/7 solution, putting more Minutemen out of harm's way. The second high-profile mission was completed July 3 and we expect many more in the near future, with fence building practically occurring around the clock, with engineers scheduled to build the more Israeli-style 6-layer-fencing soon.

We have launched the first remote camera near the Mexican border with Internet-uploadable audio and video scheduled in about a week. The D-Link Securicam, a wireless unit with pan/tilt/zoom and extremely low-light sensitivity, is designed to be a mobile unit that can be mounted on the dashboard of a Minuteman vehicle, carried on foot, or positioned on a number of protected outdoor settings while viewing illegal intrusion or other illegal activity in a hot bed near Palominas, AZ. The range of the wireless signal is not yet fully known but combined with a router as a pseudo-relay, it could potentially transmit a signal from 1/4 to 1/2 miles away or further. We donated the camera, router, and PC combination, a $1300 expense, to Minuteman Civil Defense Corps and can potentially save much revenue as the $700 work station can handle up to 16 cameras. The optical range, however, is a good 1/2 miles with fine detail, and we expect the night view to be exceptional, especially when combined with industrial motion lights. There was a delay in gaining Internet access, so I will phone-tutor a Minuteman techie in setting up uploadable video to allow all surfers down-streaming border-watch activity.

We invite you to visit BorderFenceProject.com as your help and donations are greatly appreciated in our drive to help meet our goals. Thank you for reading and being a part of our unprecedented mission.

Sincerely,
