Abstract: A method and client bridge for bridging clients between a wired and wireless communication network includes a radio transceiver with a register and a controller for indicating to the wireless network that all wired client devices of the wired network are in Power Save Polling (PSP) mode, selecting the next wired client to be indicated as being in Continuously Awake Mode (CAM) mode, storing a Media Access Control (MAC) address of that selected client in the register, indicating to the wireless network that the selected client is in CAM mode, receiving any packets from the wireless network, which are acknowledged using the register, indicating to the wireless network that the selected client is back in PSP mode, and repeating these operations until all wired client communications are serviced.

Abstract: A wireless surveillance system includes an imaging device configured to produce an image; a wireless network device (such as an access port or mobile unit) connected to the imaging device; and a wireless switch coupled to the wireless network device and a network, the wireless switch configured to communicate with the wireless network device and route the image to a computer coupled to the network. Image processing may be performed, for example, by the wireless switch, and the image may be used for asset tracking and the like.
