MOTION ACTIVATED CAMERA SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A motion detecting camera system comprising:
- a first housing comprising a motion detector, an illuminator, a transmitter, and a first power supply supplying power to the motion detector, the illuminator, and the transmitter, the motion detector providing a field of coverage for detecting motion, the transmitter connected to the motion detector; and
a second housing comprising a camera, a receiver, and a second power supply supplying power to the camera and the receiver, the camera connected to the receiver;
wherein the transmitter transmits a signal to the receiver to instruct the camera to record an image when the motion detector detects apparent motion within the field of coverage.

Abstract
The present invention provides a motion activated camera system having first and second housings. The first housing includes a motion detector, an illuminator, a transmitter, and a first power supply. The first power supply supplies power to the motion detector, the illuminator, and the transmitter. The motion detector provides a field of coverage for detecting motion. The second housing comprising a camera, a receiver, and a second power supply supplying power to the camera and the receiver. The transmitter transmits a signal to the receiver to instruct the camera to record an image when the motion detector detects apparent motion within the field of coverage. The present invention also includes a method of using a motion activated camera.
