MODULAR CAMERA MONITORING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A monitoring system comprising:
- a modular camera adapted to interface with an application-specific base, wherein the modular camera comprises an imaging module, a communication module, a memory, and a processor in communication with the imaging and communication modules and the memory, and wherein the processor is adapted to;
establish a communication link with the application-specific base;
download a monitoring system application corresponding to the application-specific base; and
perform the monitoring system application to capture monitoring information, wherein the monitoring information comprises image data captured by the imaging module according to the monitoring system application.

Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide monitoring systems including one or more modular cameras and at least one application-specific base. The application-specific base may include features and/or components corresponding to a particular type of monitoring. A monitoring system includes at least one modular camera that first establishes a communication link with an application-specific base and then downloads a monitoring system application corresponding to the application-specific base. After a modular camera receives the monitoring system application, the modular camera performs the application in order to capture monitoring information corresponding to the particular type of monitoring supported by the application-specific base.
