Abstract

Apparatus, systems and techniques associated with battery powered wireless camera systems are provided. In an example, a system includes a battery powered wireless camera including an internal battery to provide energy and an image capture module to capture infrared images. Further, the battery powered wireless camera includes a low-bandwidth radio transceiver which may wirelessly communicate with a base station, and may receive commands for operation of the battery powered wireless camera. The battery powered wireless camera also includes a high-bandwidth radio transceiver which may wirelessly communicate with the base station. If the high-bandwidth radio transceiver is powered down, the image capture module may store captured infrared images. If an infrared detection module triggers activation, the high-bandwidth radio transceiver may power up and transmit the captured images to the base station. In an example, the low-bandwidth radio transceiver may wirelessly communicate with the base station over a low-bandwidth radio link.
