Why laptop?Why laptop?

• The laptop is a tried and tested format

• It’s off-the-shelf – you’re not tied to the manufacturer of a “magic box”

• As technology gets faster and cheaper – you go with it

• Laptops offer choice

• Ruggedised or not

• Size and weight

• Laptops are light and highly portable

• Laptops work with or without mains power

• You can connect CD drives right now, and network later

• Future - proofing

Why webcams?Why webcams?

• Webcams are not expensive (from £35 to £100) and they include a really good microphone.

• Webcams are designed to record in variable lighting conditions

• Webcam microphones are designed to record high quality audio with in-built noise cancellation. We add an additional higher quality boundary mic.

• Webcams record to optimise the file size (making it easy to store and carry over networks)

• Webcams are designed for live-streaming (remote monitoring)
