WSSU: High Performance Wireless Self-Contained, Surveillance Unit; an Ad Hoc Video Surveillance System

In this paper an innovative approach for utilizing advances of wireless mobility and computer vision for the application of video surveillance are given. Design and engineering of a high performance wireless self-contained surveillance unit is presented (WSSU). These WSSUs can be deployed in emergency cases, where no time for preparation and installation is available. Further, utilizing the performance of the WSSU, together with a mobile video surveillance local control (VSLC), an ad hoc video surveillance system is presented.
