Abstract
A multi-location and multi-camera surveillance system includes cameras located at different locations. The cameras are selectively turned on and off by addressable control modules operatively connected to the cameras and a transceiver connected operatively to the modules, which turn off a previously on camera before turning another camera on, thereby to prevent more than one of the cameras from being on at any given time. The on-off actuation of the cameras may be achieved in a sequential fashion.
