Crossbow Adds Rich Media Capabilities to Wireless Sensor Platform
Building on its popular Imote2 advanced wireless sensor platform, Crossbow Technology announced today the new Imote2 Multimedia Board (IMB400), an integrated camera sensor board that simplifies the capture of rich media content for wireless sensor network applications.
“For the first time visual and audio data can be easily added to wireless sensor applications,” said Ralph Kling, Chief Architect for Crossbow Technology. “This opens up new possibilities for wireless sensor applications, including for example, surveillance, machine vision, object tracking, animal behavior surveys, and elder care monitoring in locations and environments that would otherwise be too costly to observe with traditional monitoring systems.”
