Abstract:

A security system includes at least first and second monitoring units, each having a motion sensor for detecting motion, a camera for obtaining visual data, a transmitter, a receiver, and a processor in data communication with the motion sensor, camera, transmitter, and receiver. The security system includes means for outputting visual data from the first unit camera when the first unit motion sensor detects motion more recently than the second unit motion sensor detects motion. The security system includes programming for outputting the visual data from the second unit camera when the second unit motion sensor detects motion more recently than the first unit motion sensor detects motion. The system includes a telephone interface for transmitting visual data captured by a respective camera. A unit's camera is only activated when its associated motion detector detects motion and is deactivated when another unit's motion detector detects motion more recently.

Abstract:

A fishing net includes a hoop having a net defining a catch area and having an array of illumination elements on the hoop. A bracket connects first and second ends of the hoop and defines a passage therebetween. The fishing net includes a handle coupled to the bracket and movable through the passage between use and storage configurations. A lantern is coupled to a distal end of the handle relative to the hoop, the lantern being movable between retracted, extended, and offset configurations relative to the handle. The fishing net includes a flexible shaft having a light element and that is movable between a retracted configuration in the handle and an extended configuration extending from the handle adjacent the hoop for illuminating a specific area.
