channel

availability;

and

associating the

available

channel

with

a

speci?c

one

of

the

one

or

more

battery

powered

wire

less

cameras.

The

associating

of

the

available

channel

can

include

reserving

the

available

channel

for

a

predetermined

period

of

time,

and

assigning

the

reserved

available

channel

to

the

speci?c

one

of

the

one

or

more

battery

powered

wire

less

cameras.

In

addition,

during

the

predetermined

period

of

time,

the

available

channel

can

appear

to

the

other

one

or

more

battery

powered

wireless

cameras

as

unavailable

for

wireless

communication.

[0017]

Each

Each

of

the

one

or

more

battery

powered

wireless

cam

eras

can

also

include

a

storage

device

work

connecting

the

base

station

and

the

client,

and

the

client

can

include

a

video

surveillance

application

to

display

video

images.

The

network

can

be

one

of

a

wired

Ethernet

network,

or

a

wireless

network

such

as

a

WiFi

network

or

a

WiMAX

network.

The

transmitted

information

can

include

com

by

the

image

sensor;

and

a

substrate

con?gured

to

monolithically

integrate

the

image

can

be

determined

based

on

at

least

one

of

a

wireless

link

channel average

bandwidth

capacity,

the

?delity

of

images

transmitted,

and

a

latency

of

establishing

and

termi

nating

the

wireless

link.

The

burst

periods

can

be

further

determined

based

on

a

trigger

event

caused

by

one

of

a

sound

detection,

an

infrared

motion

detection,

an

ultrasonic

detec

tion,

a

radio

signaling

circuitry,

and

a

channel

availability

for

data

transmission.

[0019]

The

wireless

network

camera

system

can

include

a

?rst

wireless

network

con?gured

The

wireless

network

camera

system can

also

include

a

second

wireless

be

con?gured

to

be

more

reliable

and/or

more

available

(e.g.,

operates

for

a

longer

period

of

time)

than

the

?rst

wireless

network.

[0020]

Both

the

?rst

and

second

wireless

networks

can be

one

of

a

wireless

Ethernet

network,

a

WiFi

network,

and

a

WiMAX

network.

In

addition,

both

the

?rst

and

the

second

wireless

networks

can

be

based

on

Multiple

In

Multiple

Out

(MIMO)

technology.

The

second

wireless

network

can

be

con?gured

to

operate

for

an

extended

period

of

time

to

facili

tate

one

or

more

of

set-up,

installation,

and

troubleshooting

activities.

The

second

wireless

network

can

also

be

used

to

signal

to

the

one

or

more

wireless

cameras

that

one

of

the

one

or

more

high-bandwidth

channels

is

available

for

data

trans

mission.

The

channel

availability

information

of

the

one

or

more

high-bandwidth

channels

can be

determined

by

pro

cessing

in

the

base

station.

[0021]

The

base

station

can

include

a

transmitter

con?g

ured

to
