Abstract: A wireless camera system is described. A housing enclosure contains the wireless camera, and the wireless camera collects video data. The housing enclosure also contains a first circuit board and a rechargeable battery. A first solar cell assembly is coupled to the housing enclosure. The first circuit board is in wireless communication with a base station, and the base station is configured to receive the video data. The camera operates a continuous feed of the video data. The video data is at least partially processed in a location away from the housing enclosure and made available to a remote client for viewing.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for communicating multimedia information. Exemplary embodiments provide a Video-to-Optical apparatus (“V2O”) that can be used over either a private or a public optical network and transfers multimedia information in SONET/SDH frame format. The V2O uses SONET/SDH frames to transmit high-resolution stereoscopic images and other multimedia information through an optical network with high efficiency, high accuracy and low latency. The V2O interfaces with a visualization graphics-server on one side and the optical network on the other. The V2O apparatus can be placed in an optical network that offers an end-to-end OC 3 or higher rate circuit. A plurality of multimedia visualization centers can be coupled to the optical network.
