Abstract
The present invention includes device, system, method of using and making a surveillance apparatus including a single image event activated detection module configured to collect data and a communication unit operably connected to the capture module to communicate with a remote central monitoring unit.
Claims21
A surveillance apparatus comprising:
- a single image event activated detection module configured to collect data;
- a communication unit operably connected to the detection module to communicate with a remote central monitoring unit;
- and
- a power module comprising a battery source in electrical communication with a solar panel for storage of energy generated by the solar panel, the battery source independently powering the single image event activated detection module and the communication unit.
1 more element
A surveillance system comprising:
- a sensor, wherein the sensor monitors a parameter associated with the sensor;
- a capture module in communication with the sensor;
- a wireless communication module operable linked to the sensor, wherein the wireless communication module communicates with a remote monitoring unit;
- and
- a power control mechanism connected to the surveillance system.
2 more elements
