An optical device, such as a camera or spot light, having first and second removably engagable components. Disengagement of the components exposes a battery compartment in the second component. The first component can include all optical components of the optical device, such as a camera or light. A magnetic mount can provide a secure and adjustable mounting for the optical device housing on a support.

A location monitoring system, such as an alarm system employed at a house or other location, can include a wireless, battery-operated camera. The camera can have a low power mode in which all components other than a low power communications module are deactivated. The camera can be activated by a signal received by the low power communications module, and the camera can establish a direct communications link with, and send video image data to, a remote server. Where the camera/server direct communications link is inoperable, a link to a local controller is established, and at least a portion of the video image data sent to the controller, which can send a portion of the video image data via an alternate network.
