Abstract: A system composed of a mobile device and field camera is disclosed. The field camera includes an imaging module that electronically records still image data upon detection of motion, a first wireless module adapted to that receives data from the mobile device over the first wireless protocol, a second wireless module that transmits data to the mobile device over the second wireless protocol, the second wireless protocol being capable of transmitting data at a faster rate than the first wireless protocol, a battery capable of supplying DC power to the field camera, and a processor in communication with the imaging module, the first wireless module, the second wireless module, and the battery. Upon receipt of data from the mobile device over the first wireless protocol, the processor initializes the second wireless module so the second wireless processor may transmit still image data to the mobile device.
