First Claim
Patent Images
1. An integrated security controller comprising:
- a communications controller;
a wireless transceiver;
a data input port for receiving a first digital video stream from a digital camera; and
a second data input port for receiving an analog video stream from an analog camera;
wherein said communications controller digitizes and encodes the analog video stream, thereby generating a second digital video stream,and wherein said wireless transceiver performs an automatic failover to an alternative communications mode accompanied by an automatic adjustment of a frame rate of one or more of said digital video streams corresponding to a smaller bandwidth that is available over said alternative communications mode when said controller detects that a primary wireless communication mode has failed.

Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for improved video transmission, particularly in security settings. An improved security controller combines the interfaces and functionality for high quality video delivery over often less-than-perfect wireless networks, multi-camera analog/digital video controllers and encoders, multi-frequency wireless camera support, connectivity for serial controllers, network switching, and distributed digital video recording with optional object and motion detection. The video transmission is enhanced using wireless adaptive video encoding, mobile viewing optimization, and wireless bandwidth improvement.
