Patent ID: 7051356

Claim:
A method of providing covert remote wireless video surveillance of a remote location comprising the steps of: using a fixed covert imaging means to generate analog electrical signals representative of real time images of the remote location; using a signal compression chip for converting the analog signals to digital electrical signals and packetizing the digital electrical signals into a secure pre-selected IP protocol format; transmitting the packetized digital electrical signals using a first transceiver; receiving the packetized digital electrical signals using a second transceiver; converting the packetized digital electrical signals into a microwave signal and transmitting the microwave signal to a base unit; receiving the microwave signal at the base unit; sending the secure, received signal over a computer network to a plurality of user terminals; converting the secure, received signal to digital video signals using a video player; and displaying the digital video signals on the plurality of user terminals for simultaneous viewing by more than one user.
