1. A remote illumination and detection method comprising,enabling each of a plurality of detectors to generate a detection message when motion is detected by a detector, wherein the detector includes a first wireless communications module;

  • a detection field proximate to each of the plurality of detectors, wherein the detection message is generated when motion is detected within the detection field proximate to each of the plurality of detectors;

    wirelessly transmitting the detection message to a remote sensing device that includes a camera having a field of view of the plurality of detectors and the corresponding detection field associated with each of the plurality of detectors, and a second wireless communications module corresponding to the remote sensing device that communicates with the first wireless communications module associated with each of the plurality of detectors;

    generating an illumination instruction, at the remote sensing device, when the remote sensing device receives the detection message from one of the plurality of detectors;

    wirelessly transmitting the illumination instruction to an illuminator that is communicatively coupled to a third wireless communications module, wherein the third wireless communications module is communicatively coupled to the second communication module associated with the remote sensing device, the illuminator having an illumination area that includes the detection field corresponding to one of the plurality of detectors, wherein the illumination area is within the field of view of the camera; and

    illuminating the illumination area when motion is detected by one of the plurality of detectors and the illumination instruction is received by the illuminator.
