20130147962 | Wireless Camera Data Communication - Disclosed is a communication system including a first set of wireless cameras, a first hub and a first relay device receiving first video data. Also included is a second set of wireless cameras, a second hub and a second relay device which receives (i) the first video data and (ii) a second video data. Included is a third set of wireless cameras, a third hub and a third relay device receiving (i) the first and second video data and (ii) a third video data. A monitoring device monitors the first, second and third relay devices. A video management system receives the first, second and third video data from the third relay device. If the second relay device is unable to transmit the video data at a minimum quality level, the monitoring device sends a signal directing the first relay device to send first video data via the third relay device. | 06-13-2013 |
20130147973 | Wireless Camera Data Management - Disclosed herein is a wireless camera data management method in which a hub is used to monitor data on a wireless channel between the hub and a first camera. The first camera is located physically away from the hub. The hub is used to monitor data on the wireless channel between the hub and a second camera. The second camera is located physically away from the hub. When the wireless channel exhibits excessive data traffic, camera data transmitted from the first or second camera is reduced by at least one of the following: (i) reducing a frame rate of the camera data, (ii) reducing the resolution of the camera data, (iii) reducing the bit rate of the camera data by increased compression, (iv) using frame modulation on the camera data, or (v) prioritizing data transmitted by the first camera or the second camera based on a first user input. | 06-13-2013 |
20130286280 | Wireless Camera System - A wireless camera system is described. A housing enclosure contains the wireless camera, and the wireless camera collects video data. The housing enclosure also contains a first circuit board and a rechargeable battery. A first solar cell assembly is coupled to the housing enclosure. The first circuit board is in wireless communication with a base station, and the base station is configured to receive the video data. The camera operates a continuous feed of the video data. The video data is at least partially processed in a location away from the housing enclosure and made available to a remote client for viewing. | 10-31-2013 |
