SerialCameras


 * Connect a 115kbs serial http://www.cmucam.org CctvCameras to a 173mhz RadioModems.
 * Connect a PIR ConfiguringAlarmSystem to the I/O line of the packet radio to transmit a real-time image to the base when the PIR is triggered.
 * The cmucam is cmos based and won't work at night, for night time surveillance a CCD sensor must be used, but I don't know of any which has a serial interface.
 * For nighttime surveillance a supercircuits camera attaches to an Mpeg4Compression board.
 * The camera and DVR are only activated on a PIR alert to conserve battery power, see RobotPatrolling.
