I. Problem
What is the problem?
Current remote surveillance systems use limited
resolution cameras, while high-resolution
surveillance systems do not have remote transfer.

II. Solution
What is the solution?
The CellVeillance will allow for remote capture
with several off-the-shelf cameras of varying
resolutions.

III. Constraints - Technical
Name Description
Data Transmission The device must be capable of transmitting data wirelessly.
Battery Life The device must be able to transmit data continuously for at least 10 hours and persist in standby mode for more than 3 days after which, it can resume full functionality for 2 hours.
Portability The physical dimensions must be less than 12 inches high, 6 inches wide, and 6 inches deep.
Motion Detection The device must detect motion up to a distance of 30 feet at a 90-degree viewing angle.
Compatibility The device must be compatible with an off-the-shelf digital camera.
