Abstract
A surveillance system includes video surveillance cameras that are in various locations sought to be monitored. Each camera is associated with a variable frame rate that is faster when motion is detected in the location and slower when little or no motion is detected, to improve resolution when needed. A system hub receives video feeds from the cameras and sends them on to wireless clients upon client request.

25. A surveillance method, comprising:
-
installing at least one surveillance camera in at least one location to be surveilled;
using the surveillance camera to generate a video feed by generating video frames;
varying a frame rate associated with the frames based at least in part on motion of at least one object at the location; and
transmitting the video feed in real time to at least one monitoring receiver over a wireless link. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
