Wireless video surveillance system and method with dual encoding
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A method for dual encoding of system inputs, with at least one wireless input capture device ICD(s) having a software running on an embedded DSP chip, and a corresponding digital input recorder (DIR) or another ICD forming a base system, comprising the steps of:
- providing the base system, and the ICDs capturing inputs from a target environment;
the ICD(s) transmitting inputs to the DIR, wherein the ICDs and DIR are operable for direct cross-communication of inputs and for adjustment of ICD settings and controls in response to instructions transmitted by the DIR and directly received by the ICDs, and wherein the inputs are encoded to provide multiple formats; and
at least one user remotely accessing the DIR or the ICDs via a user interface with a remote viewing device,thereby providing a secure surveillance system for a target environment with remote access by the user to the dual encoded inputs.

Abstract
A surveillance system and method for activating communication between at least one wireless input capture device ICD(s) and a corresponding digital input recorder (DIR) and/or another ICD, including providing a base system; at least one user accessing the DIR via user interface remotely; the DIR and/or ICD searching for signal from the ICD(s) and receiving inputs in dual encoded formats, thereby providing a secure surveillance system having wireless communication for monitoring a target environment with optimized remote viewing.

7. A surveillance system for wireless communication between components comprising:
-
a base system including at least one wireless input capture device (ICD);
a DIR having a processor, a memory, a transmitter/receiver, and operable for wireless communication with the ICD(s) and a remote server computer (RSC);wherein the ICD(s) having at least one sensor and at least one input component for detecting and recording inputs, a processor, a memory, a transmitter/receiver, all constructed and configured in electronic connection;
wherein the ICDs are operable for wireless direct cross-communication with each other and with the DIR without requiring interaction with the RSC for operation, wherein the direct cross-communication includes data exchange, and wherein the data exchange includes input data and information about the surveillance environment, settings, inputs, and combinations thereof; and
wherein the ICD is operable to encode inputs in two formats simultaneously via a DSP running software.- View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
