MODULAR SURVEILLANCE CAMERA SYSTEM WITH SELF-IDENTIFICATION CAPABILITY

摘要

A modular surveillance camera kit includes a group of camera heads each having a respective set of performance characteristics, a group of system controllers each having a respective set of performance characteristics, and a group of communications modules each having a respective set of performance characteristics. Each of the communications modules is configured to be coupled to a system interface. A surveillance camera system is assembled in a selected one of a plurality of possible combinations by selecting one of the group of camera heads, one of the group of system controllers and one of the group of communications modules such that the selected system controller electrically and mechanically interconnects the selected camera head and the selected communications module.
