Abstract
A mesh network adapter is designed to communicate with a camera, and is configured to form a mesh node in a wireless mesh network. The network adapter includes housing, a microprocessor, a transceiver, a non-volatile onboard data storage medium, and an elongate flexible extension cable. The flexible cable is operatively connected to the microprocessor at the camera end, and interfaces with the onboard data storage medium and a removable memory card. The microprocessor functions to control the transfer of image data from the camera through the flexible cable to the removable memory card, and from the removable memory card to the onboard data storage medium for subsequent wireless transmission to a gateway within the mesh network.
