• FIG. 4A shows two possible illumination patterns 420 and 430 for IREDs 410 and 412. 420 shows a first illumination pattern where the bases of the IREDs are parallel to each other. Such a pattern would result from standard mounting on a common PCB.
• 430 shows a second illumination pattern that has less overlap of illumination and provides a broader illumination angle. This is accomplished by angling the IREDs away from one another.

• they are located near the image sensor, in a symmetrical fashion, to evenly distribute the infrared energy.
• the IREDs are not positioned horizontally but instead have angled bases or supports to provide an infrared distribution that reduces the overlap between the two IREDs in the central axis and increases the angle of illumination.
• the IREDs also draw a high level of current, which limits the use of small SMD types, which cannot dissipate high power. Instead, the through hole-type is used. This is also advantageous for allowing flexibility in the angles of illumination provided by the IREDs.
• the IREDs are positioned by adapting IRED supports on the plastic support to orient the desired angles of the IREDs, and thereby avoiding the soldering of the thru hole IRED during the initial placement.
• the IRED (through-hole) legs can be bent and using a screw 404 to create pressure on the legs of each of the IREDs thereby forming an electrical contact with the circuit board.

• These and other embodiments include the use of a power control circuit that is used in conjunction with a battery circuit.
• the power control circuit responds to various control signals by reducing the power consumption of the device. This is particularly useful for implementing a self-powered device that operates for extended periods of time without replacing, recharging or otherwise supplementing power to the device.
• the power control circuit receives control signals from the central controller.
• the power control circuit can implement any one of a number of different power saving techniques.
• One such technique involves placing the device in reduced power state by disabling or otherwise reducing power consumption by one or more of the motion detector, camera and IREDs.
• the power control circuit can maintain the reduced power state until a control signal is received that prompts the device to leave the reduced power state.
• a control signal can be from the central controller or from other sources, such as a keyfob or an intrusion sensor.
• Additional logic can further control the various power states.
• the motion detector can be activated in response to a control signal, while keeping the camera disabled until motion is detected.
• the image captures can be reduced in frequency. For example, instead of capturing an image every second, the device could be configured to capture and/or transmit an image every minute. This can significantly reduce the average power consumption over a period of time.
• the power control circuit controls the transmission of images from the camera to the central controller.
• Wireless transmission circuitry can require a significant amount of power to operate.
• the transmission of large amounts of data may require extensive periods of transmission activity and corresponding power draw.
• One technique employed by the device is performed by compression logic that reduces the size of the image data to be transferred.
• Another technique involves logic to limit the transmitted data to necessary images. For instance, the device may be enabled to capture images when a door or window sensor is triggered; however, the captured images need not be sent if a correct authorization code is provided by the person triggering the sensor.
• Various other logic implementations can be used to reduce unnecessary transmissions of captured images.
• Yet another technique involves the use of efficient handshake protocols between the devices.
• the motion-image security device may be used to capture images both in daylight and using night vision technology.
• the image sensor may capture images in color.
• the image-capture device includes a camera that can also obtain black and white pictures in low-light environments such as at night using an infrared illuminator. This can be achieved with a black and white image sensor since color image sensors integrate a filter, which rejects the IR wavelength in order to keep the color fidelity.
• a color image sensor is used with specific color filters.
• FIG. 6 shows a graph of filter responses (illustrated by lines representing green 604, red 602 and blue 606 colors), according to an example embodiment of the present invention.
• the illustrated filters' responses show that in the IR wavelength, the sensitivity of each color is balanced, and is close to the sensitivity in the visible spectrum. This allows night vision with the IRED illuminators where the color signal is ignored, and only the luminescence signal is used to obtain black and white pictures.
• Another embodiment allows for multiple image-capture possibilities in daylight environments. If the level of IR light is low (e.g., indoor light with fluorescent bulbs), the color fidelity will be good because the response to each color will not be overly effected by IR light and the camera can capture color images. If the level of IR is high (e.g., incandescent bulbs or direct sun exposure), the color fidelity of the image sensor may be adversely effected by the IR light, and the camera can deliver black and white images. In still other embodiments, all image acquisition operates using the color signals while a remote monitoring station (e.g., PC) determines if the black and white or color images will be displayed.
• a remote monitoring station e.g., PC
• the image-capture device is initialized with multiple operating modes. For example, in an auto mode, once the image-capture device is armed, the device will begin video image acquisition as soon as the motion detector detects motion. In another example, in a control panel mode the motion-image security device sends an intrusion notification to the control panel and waits for a video acquisition command from the panel. The video acquisition and video transfer to the control panel are two independent actions. This allows the image-capture device to obtain video images within a delayed zone, before the system is disarmed. If the disarming is done before the end of a delay, the video will be erased; otherwise the control panel will request the video data and send the video data to a remote monitoring station.

• the control panel can also request video erasing in memory. Since video data transfer can take more than two minutes, during the transfer time, a destruction of the image-capture device will result in the loss of the remaining video stored in RAM memory.
• a non volatile memory e.g., Flash type
