Abstract :
Novel remote monitoring system for all day outdoor observation using wireless communication is proposed. It consists of three parts: a host station that is PC, remote station (camera and CPU) attached by solar cell and battery for power supply, and wireless sensor with ID signal. The remote station usually performs based on the event driven method by the sensor signal. Since it also can control the camera according to the sensor´s ID, the multivision monitoring system is flexibly configurable. This paper describes the details of the system and evaluates the maximum number of connectable remote stations. The systems are now really running at many places in Japan, showing the effectiveness in a practical sense.
