VIPSKIT — (VIP Security Kit)
A Technologically Advanced, Mobile, Rapidly Deployable Surveillance System
The VIPSKIT, or VIP Security KIT, is a portable, rapidly deployable security system developed by Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) for monitoring temporary facilities and vehicles. The mobile system uses wireless devices, eliminating installation complexity. The single software interface allows for easy surveillance on screen and on a wireless handheld PDA.
The system is composed of four major elements:
- A suite of facility peripheral devices
- A facility monitoring station
- A vehicle detection system
- A remote interface system (PDA, wireless networking)
VIP Security Kit is composed of Wi-Fi network cameras, miniature concealable RF cameras, and a suite of RF sensors. The high-tech security system sends ALERT messages to cell phones, PDAs and E-mail. With a single software interface this VIP Security Kit provides the assurance you need to know that your security and the security of your information is not at risk. The VIP Security Kit is fully customizable to fit your needs.

System Features
VIPSKIT uses peripheral sensors and cameras for surveillance and tamper detection. These devices communicate with a facility monitoring station that contains the system software, detection logic, and user communication capabilities.
The facility monitoring station receives information from the sensors and cameras of the system, combining wireless network technology with the capabilities of a facility security system. The monitoring station communicates with the user’s handheld PDA which accesses a web site hosted by the monitoring station. The custom designed web site 
provides the user access to system status, event logs, camera snapshots, and recorded videos. The monitoring station
also communicates with the user’s cell phone / pager via a Wireless AirCard alerting the necessary personnel of a potential threat. The monitoring station is also equipped with a built-in cooling and backup system.
The vehicle detection system guards against possible tampering of the temporary vehicle through a suite of custom tremble sensors. The custom-designed VIPSKIT tremble sensor utilizes an RF contact sensor that relays the event notification to the monitoring station. The combination of a custom circuit board with the RF contact sensor allows the integration of the vehicle detection system with the facility peripheral devices and the alert system.
The VIPSKIT system is portable, housing all components in two-to-three rolling carry-on pelican-type cases. The system is also rapidly deployable, allowing the user to set up the system within 30 minutes.
