Abstract:
1. A method for providing communication in a surveillance system, the method steps comprising: providing a base system, the base system including: at least one sensor capture device (SCD(s)); at least one input capture device (ICD(s)); and at least one digital input recorder (DIR(s)) or another ICD or SCD; wherein each of the SCD(s), ICD(s) and DIR(s) is housed in separate enclosures and includes at least one processor, at least one memory and at least one wireless communication system, all constructed and configured in electronic connection; wherein each of the SCD(s) and ICD(s) further comprises at least one sensor and at least one input component; and wherein each of the ICD(s) further comprises at least one additional wireless communication system; the ICD(s) and SCD(s) engaging in smart, direct communication amongst and between each other; wherein smart communication includes exchanging data through cross-communication and direct cross-control and responding to data exchange by changing input capture settings; wherein the direct cross-control includes the direct exchange of set triggers and trigger events, settings, inputs and combinations thereof; wherein direct communication occurs without transmitting the communication through a communications network, the Internet, or additional devices or hardware; at least one user interface providing access to the DIR or the ICD(s) via a remote server computer (RSC); the SCD(s) processing inputs and sending the processed inputs to the ICD(s); the ICD(s) further processing the processed inputs based upon predetermined settings stored in the ICD memory; and the ICDs transmitting the processed inputs to the RSC; thereby providing a secure, remote access surveillance system for a target environment.
