ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a security system for monitoring a mobile, ground-based platform via image acquisition in the form of electrical pixel signals. In one embodiment, the system includes a plurality of cameras attached to the platform and arranged to capture images of zones associated with the interior of the platform or with its exterior and current ambient environmental surroundings. Storage media is located on the platform for storing images captured in the form of electrical signals by the cameras. The system is configured for transferring images to the storage media and to at least one remote location wherein the images are viewable at the remote location. The system may advantageously employ wireless transmission to transfer images to a remote location. The images may be captured responsive to an input such as from a panic button. The system may also employ removable storage media for storing images on the platform. Upon removal, the removable storage media may be transported to the remote location. The images stored in the removable storage media may then be randomly accessed and viewed at the remote location.
