The MailboxCam is a mobile viewing device that can be placed in remote locations. Here is how it works: The user initiates a request to the MailboxCam by pushing a button on the long range transmitter. A control signal is sent to the unit which activates the MailboxCam. The video captured by the MailboxCam is then sent to a receiver that is attached to a viewing monitor or standard television set. The remote video image is displayed on the monitor/tv for a predetermined amount of time: 10 seconds to over 5 minutes depending on the users preference. The unit then shuts down and returns to standby mode. This system can be used for any legal activity where a wired connection is undesirable.
