High-Quality IP Surveillance with ICR-1745

Introduction

The ICR-1745 is a compact and cost-effective industrial 5G connectivity gateway designed to provide reliable wireless communication for distributed and remote deployments. Built on future-proof 5G NR technology, it delivers low latency and stable data transmission for applications where real-time connectivity and operational continuity matter.

With five Gigabit Ethernet ports, digital I/O, and serial interfaces, the ICR-1745 easily connects both IP devices and legacy equipment to modern 5G networks. Integrated VPN support, connection monitoring, and automatic recovery mechanisms help ensure secure and resilient operation, even in unattended or harsh environments. 

Its flexible system-on-module design, combined with the open Linux-based ICR-OS platform, allows customization through scripts, C/C++, or downloadable RouterApps to extend standard firmware functionality. The router is also easy to manage at scale via WebAccess/DMP, a cloudbased platform for device management, provisioning, and monitoring – making it ideal for mass deployment, remote management, and secure VPN access. 

Whether for environmental monitoring, mission-critical machinery, IP surveillance, or providing high-speed Wi-Fi hotspots, the ICR-1745 acts as a versatile building block, supporting a wide range of industrial M2M and IoT applications. The following use cases illustrate how it can be deployed to deliver reliable connectivity, enhanced operational efficiency, and seamless integration into complex networks.

Challenge

Construction sites generate large amounts of video data that must be reliably transmitted to a central monitoring system in real time. Connection drops or upload delays can compromise site security and slow response to incidents, such as theft or safety hazards.

Solution 

The ICR-1745 provides 5G SA/NSA connectivity to deliver high uplink speeds and low latency, ensuring reliable transmission of HD or 4K video from multiple cameras. The router’s VPN support, continuous connection monitoring, automatic recovery mechanisms, and hardware watchdog protect both the network and connected devices. Centralized device management and monitoring via WebAccess/DMP allow operators to oversee multiple routers, configure devices remotely, and respond quickly to any network issues.

Benefits

• Stable real-time data transmission from cameras  

• High uplink performance and low latency for HD and 4K streams  

 • Secure communication via VPN 

 • Centralized device management and monitoring via WebAccess/DMP

Use Scenario

A remote construction site deploys ICR-1745 routers to connect IP cameras monitoring equipment, materials, and perimeter areas. Video streams use 5G uplink to deliver real-time monitoring to the central control room. VPN ensures secure data transmission, while WebAccess/DMP enables centralized management and monitoring, allowing security teams to detect unauthorized access, respond quickly to incidents, and maintain site safety even with limited on-site presence.
