US Patent:

7633391, Dec 15, 2009

Filed:

Nov 14, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/598911

Inventors:

Paul Voglewede - N. Chili NY, US
Scott Cloutier - Fairport NY, US
Robert Post - Victor NY, US

Assignee:

Harris Corporation - Melbourne FL

International Classification:

G08B 13/00

US Classification:

340541, 3405391, 340517, 340933

Abstract:

An unattended sensor is provided for use in a surveillance system. The sensor is generally comprised of: a detector that generates an electrical signal in response to a physical stimulus proximate to the sensor; a signal processor adapted to receive the electrical signal from the detector and operable to generate an event message based on the electrical signal; a transceiver operable to send and receive messages over a wireless radio link; and a channel access mechanism operable to negotiate access to the radio link in accordance with an access protocol, where the access protocol is employed by radios and other communication devices in the system.

Harris Corporation - Melbourne FL

International Classification:

H04N 7/18

US Classification:

348152

Abstract:

An unattended sensor is provided for use in a surveillance system. The sensor is generally comprised of: a detector; a signal processor; a radio transceiver; a power source; and a controller which configures the sensor in either a sensor mode or a relay mode. When configured in the sensor mode, the detector and signal processor are operational and the transceiver is non-operational. When configured in the relay mode, the transceiver is operational but the detector and signal processor are non-operational. In an alternative approach, the detector and the signal process may remain operational in the relay mode.

Appl. No.:

12/070386

Inventors:

Jeffrey Zampieron - Rochester NY, US
Joseph Presicci - Rochester NY, US
Mark Sanders - Rochester NY, US
Robert Post - Victor NY, US

Assignee:

Harris Corporation - Melbourne FL

International Classification:

H04N 7/18

US Classification:

348143, 348154, 396427

Abstract:

A surveillance system includes an event module that receives an event detection signal that indicates an event external to the surveillance system. The system also includes a power control module that selectively operates a data recording device at least partially concurrent with the event based on the event detection signal. The system also includes a selection module that selects a portion of data recorded by the data recording device based on content of the data. A data transmission module transmits the portion over a remote communication link.
