Mobile wireless camera system
First Claim
1. A mobile wireless camera system for commercial vehicles allowing the driver of the commercial vehicle to see areas surrounding the commercial vehicle comprising:
- a first camera connected to a first camera transceiver for capturing images and transmitting a first image signal representing the captured images;
a second camera connected to a second camera transceiver for capturing images and transmitting a second image signal representing the captured images;
a control transceiver for receiving said first and second image signals from said first and second camera transceivers;
a controller in communication with said control transceiver for setting an ID code in each camera and for selecting one of said first and second cameras for viewing;
said camera transceivers adapted for transmitting said ID codes with said image signals to said controller through said control transceiver; and
said controller identifying whether the ID code received by said controller is the ID code of the camera selected for viewing and allowing transmission of images if the received ID code and the ID code of the selected camera are the same.

Abstract
A mobile wireless camera system for commercial vehicles allowing the driver of the commercial vehicle to see areas surrounding the commercial vehicle using first and second cameras connected to first and second camera transceivers for capturing images and transmitting a first and second image signals representing the captured images. The system uses a controller in communication with a control transceiver for setting an ID code in each camera and for selecting a camera for viewing. The camera transceivers transmit the ID code along with the image signals. The controller uses an ID code recognition unit for identifying whether the ID code is the ID code of the selected camera. The controllers allows transmission of images if the received ID code and the ID code of the selected camera are the same.

7. A mobile wireless camera system comprising:
-
a camera for recording images;
a camera transceiver for wirelessly transmitting an image signal representing the recorded images over a transmission channel;
a control transceiver for receiving the image signals from said camera;
a controller in communication with said control transceiver for setting a unique ID code in said camera;
said camera having a storage unit to store the assigned ID code;
said camera transceiver for transmitting the ID code together with the image signals; and
a first identification unit included in said controller for determining if the ID code transmitted together with the image signals matches the assigned ID code. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method for wirelessly transmitting video signals in a camera system having a plurality of cameras and a controller comprising the steps of:
-
assigning a unique ID code to at least one camera by a controller;
transmitting said ID code together with image signals from the camera to the controller;
comparing a received ID code to said ID code assigned to the camera; and
releasing the image signals for display if the ID codes match. - View Dependent Claims (13)
