Abstract: The present invention is directed to a surveillance device that provides a wide range of monitoring and is adapted to log and transmit video, audio, collateral environment data, and event data over a network, utilizing a relatively low bandwidth and low power consumption, while maintaining a resolution and features that greatly enhance surveillance applications. The multimedia surveillance device of the present invention provides support for dynamic addressing, compression, auto-focus and alarm notification.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus and associated method for the sharing and communication of video and other surveillance related multimedia data by streaming video and other data from an emergency response unit to a variety of devices and other emergency response units. Surveillance data obtained through a variety of monitoring options, including sources external to the first response unit is wirelessly disseminated from that first response patrol car or similar emergency response unit, to any number of other devices on a digital network.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to a device for capturing, storing, sharing and communicating audio/video information and other related multimedia data. The present invention relates more particularly to a portable media capture device wearable by an individual such as a first responder. The device provides point-of-view information and associates the information with meta-data. The point-of-view information may be utilized for subsequent review or contemporaneous transmission to other responders or devices. The device enables surveillance or on-the-scene data captured from a user's view point to be collected and disseminated in real time to remote locations or retrieved at a later time.
