A Wireless Video Sensor Network for Autonomous Coastal Sensing

We describe an architecture and prototype for a low-power and low-cost video sensor unit suitable for deployment in remote coastal sensing applications. Our design is based on the premise that if a complete video sensor unit can be constructed for less then $50 then it is possible to deploy a very large number of units providing area coverage measured in kilometers.
