Abstract
A surveillance system and method for remote viewing of inputs associated with at least one wireless input capture device ICD(s) monitoring a target environment, and a corresponding digital input recorder (DIR) and/or another ICD, including the steps of providing base system and at least one user accessing the DIR or ICD(s) via user interface remotely from a remote viewing device.
Claims22
A method for remote viewing of inputs to a surveillance system having communication between at least one wireless input capture device ICD(s) and a corresponding digital input recorder (DIR) or another ICD, together forming a base system, comprising the steps of:
- providing the base system;
- an authorized user logging into the system;
- the user accessing the DIR or ICD(s) via a user interface remotely from a remote viewing device to review inputs to the ICD(s);
- thereby providing a secure surveillance system for a target environment wherein inputs from the target environment are captured by the ICD(s).
A method for activating remote viewing between a remote viewing device and a wireless surveillance system including at least one wireless digital input capture device (ICD(s)) and a corresponding wireless digital input recorder (DIR), the method comprising the steps of:
- a) providing the wireless surveillance system having at least one ICD constructed and configured for wireless digital communication with a corresponding wireless DIR or ICD(s), wherein the DIR or ICD(s) has a memory and a data processor for running software and is operable for transmitting instructions to and receiving and recording data inputs from the ICD(s);
- b) at least one authorized user logging into the system;
- c) the at least one authorized user interfacing with the DIR or ICD(s) to view inputs from the ICDs relating to a target environment.
A method for remote communication between a remote viewing device and a base surveillance system comprising at least two wireless input capture device ICD(s) capable of wireless cross-communication, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing the base surveillance system;
- at least one user accessing the at least one ICD via a user interface on the remote viewing device;
- the ICD(s) transmitting data to the remote viewing device, the data relating to inputs to the ICD(s) from sensors monitoring a target environment.
A surveillance system for wireless communication between components comprising:
- a base system including at least two wireless input capture devices (ICDs), the ICDs having at least one sensor and at least one input component for detecting and recording inputs, a processor, a memory, a transmitter/receiver, all constructed and configured in electronic connection;
- wherein the ICDs are operable for wireless cross-communication with each other;
- and wherein the ICDs are operable for wireless communication with a remote viewing device operated by an authorized user.
