1. Sensing apparatus, comprising:
- a network camera, which is configured to capture images of a scene and to output a sequence of data packets containing digitized video data responsively to the images; and
a one-way link, physically configured to carry signals in one direction and to be incapable of carrying signals in the opposite direction, which is coupled to the network camera so as to transmit the data packets from the network camera to a packet communication network.

Abstract
Sensing apparatus includes a network camera, which is configured to capture images of a scene and to output a sequence of data packets containing digitized video data responsively to the images. A one-way link is coupled to the network camera so as to transmit the data packets from the network camera to a packet communication network.

9. Sensing apparatus, comprising:
-
a network camera, which is configured to sense a characteristic of an environment outside a facility and to output a sequence of data packets containing digitized video data responsively to the sensed characteristic; and a one-way link, physically configured to carry signals in one direction and to be incapable of carrying signals in the opposite direction, which is coupled to the network camera so as to transmit the data packets from the network camera to a packet communication network inside the facility.

10. A method for sensing, comprising:
-
deploying a network camera to sense a characteristic of an environment outside a facility and to output a sequence of data packets containing digitized video data responsively to the sensed characteristic; and coupling a one-way link, physically configured to carry signals in one direction mad to be incapable of carrying signals in the opposite direction, to the network camera so as to transmit the data packets from the network camera to a packet communication network inside the facility. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
