The iMouse system combines wireless sensor networks and mobile surveillance to provide advanced monitoring services at a lower cost than traditional systems. Static sensors form a wireless sensor network to detect events like changes in light, sound or temperature. Mobile sensors can then move to the event locations to take photos and transmit information to the server. The iMouse architecture uses static and mobile sensors on an experimental 6x6 grid to detect simulated events and test the system's real-time monitoring, event-driven response and scalability.
