Voice-aided unattended surveillance sensor deployment system and associated methods
First Claim
1. A surveillance system comprising:
- a remote monitoring station;
at least one mobile radio;
at least one deployable sensor for unattended surveillance to transmit a detection signal in response to a detected activity;
a deployable gateway surveillance node comprising a controller and at least one transceiver cooperating therewith toreceive the detection signal,transmit a notification to the remote monitoring station based upon the received detection signal, anddetermine and transmit a voice-message status report, based upon the received detection signal, to the at least one mobile radio identifying the deployable gateway surveillance node and corresponding deployable sensor for the received detection signal.

Abstract
The surveillance system includes a remote monitoring station, at least one mobile radio (e.g. a handheld radio), and one or more deployable sensors each for unattended surveillance to transmit a detection signal in response to a detected activity. A deployable gateway surveillance node includes a controller and at least one wireless transceiver cooperating therewith to transmit a notification to the remote monitoring station based upon a received detection signal, and determine and transmit a voice-message status report, based upon the received detection signal, to the at least one mobile radio identifying the deployable gateway surveillance node and corresponding deployable sensor for the received detection signal. The voice message status report may further include information regarding a status of a communication link between the deployable gateway surveillance node and the remote monitoring station, a received detection signal strength, detected activity information and/or a status of a positioning information communication link between the deployable gateway surveillance node and a positioning/navigation system.
