Development of integrated remote monitoring multivision system

An integrated remote monitoring system for all day outdoor and indoor observation using wireless and/or wired communication is proposed. It consists of three parts: a base station that is PC, remote station (camera and CPU), and wireless sensor with ID signal. The wireless and/or wired remote station can begin to work based on an event driven method by the sensor signal. Since it also can control the built-in camera according to the sensor's ID, various configurations of the multivision monitoring system is feasible. This paper describes the details of the integrated system including both wireless and wired remote stations. It also evaluates the maximum possible number of connectable remote stations. We consider that the developed system is considerably effective in a practical sense. In fact, it is running at many places in Japan.
