Abstract:
1. A method for dual encoding of system inputs, with at least one wireless input capture device ICD(s) having a software running on an embedded DSP chip, and a corresponding digital input recorder (DIR) or another ICD forming a base system, comprising the steps of: providing the base system, and the ICDs capturing inputs from a target environment; the ICD(s) transmitting inputs to the DIR, wherein the ICDs and DIR are operable for direct cross-communication of inputs and for adjustment of ICD settings and controls in response to instructions transmitted by the DIR and directly received by the ICDs, and wherein the inputs are encoded to provide multiple formats; and at least one user remotely accessing the DIR or the ICDs via a user interface with a remote viewing device, thereby providing a secure surveillance system for a target environment with remote access by the user to the dual encoded inputs.
