Innovation Solution
A wireless surveillance system comprising wireless input capture devices (ICDs) and digital input recorder devices (DIRs) that enable two-way controllable communication for secure, remote access and control through a remote server computer or Internet access, allowing for live and historical data viewing, editing, and system management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wired surveillance systems are used, then system reliability and security are improved, but installation complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces wired mechanical connections with wireless communication technology. The surveillance system uses wireless transmitters and receivers to transmit video signals and control commands without physical cables, eliminating the need for complex wiring installation while maintaining system functionality and security through encrypted wireless protocols
2Ease of operation
If wireless surveillance systems are implemented, then installation ease and remote access capability are improved, but security against interception deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary security measures by encrypting wireless communications before transmission. The system uses encryption algorithms to encode video signals and control commands, making intercepted signals unusable without the decryption key. Authentication protocols are also implemented to verify device identities before allowing communication, preventing unauthorized access and interception
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional wired systems are used, then system stability is maintained, but adaptability to remote locations and mobility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic elements to the surveillance system through wireless communication. The system can dynamically adjust communication parameters, relocate devices without re-wiring, and provide remote access from any location with wireless connectivity. This enhances adaptability to remote locations and mobile applications while maintaining system stability through robust error correction and connection management protocols
Data Source
AI summary
A mesh network environmental data capture system and method for providing communication between a base system having at least one wireless input capture device ICD(s) and other ICD(s), wherein the ICD(s) are capable of smart cross-communication with each other and remote access to their inputs via a server computer, including the steps of providing this base system; at least one user accessing the ICDs and inputs remotely via a user interface through a remote server computer and/or electronic device communicating with it, for providing a secure surveillance system with extended inputs range and wireless smart cross-communication for monitoring a target environment.
