Abstract: A system and method for a gun-mounted camera with lensing that mimics a magnification scope, such as could be used on a rifle. Some preferred embodiments use a digital zoom while maintaining a native pixel count by using a larger sensor, and further use a combination of decimating an image for low magnification and windowing for higher magnification. Essentially some preferred embodiments change a field of view while maintaining the same number of pixels in the video output. Most preferably matching the field of view of a rifle scope with the press of a button.

Abstract: A system and method for identification of a particular one device from an array of networked devices. Each of the devices are individually addressable by a controller on the network, and a technician preferably identifies a particular one device by use of a handheld remote control. Pointing one of transmitter/receiver pair at a device including the complementary component allows remote disambiguation based upon ranging and signal strength, particularly when using a pair of orthogonal antennas to discriminate and confirm which particular device is being pointed to by the remote. Optional confirmation helps improve identification robustness, and then the properly identified device may be configured/commissioned.

Abstract: A system and method for improving battery life and accessibility of an outdoor imager, including use of high-power RF directional RF/WiFi for long range image and video transmission with cellphone coverage and use of ultrabright LEDs.
