Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a monitoring system that includes multiple rotatable camera systems, a solar panel, and transceiver.

Claims

1. A monitoring system, comprising:

an imaging system, comprising;

a plurality of camera turrets, each of the plurality of camera turrets enclosing a camera, connected to at least one adjacent camera turrent, and rotatable around a central axis of the monitoring system;

a solar panel configured to convert sunlight to electricity;

a battery connected to the solar panel and each camera and configured to store power; and

a wireless transceiver connected to the battery and configured to wireless communicated with a remote server.

2. The monitoring system of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of turrets are cylindrical and have a central axis aligned with the central axis of the monitoring system.

3. The monitoring system of claim 1, wherein each camera captures infrared images.

4. The monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of camera turrets are rotatable to a configuration where each camera has a different field of view.

5. The monitoring system, wherein the wireless transceiver comprising a first wireless transceiver, further comprising:

the remote server, comprising;

a second wireless transceiver configured to wireless communicate with the first wireless transceiver of the imaging system; and

memory configured to store images and associated timestamps received from the imaging system.
