1. An unsupervised monitoring device comprising: a plurality of unsupervised BOLO devices comprising, at least one dedicated BOLO device, at least one cell phone, and at least one wireless internet transceiver, wherein each of said plurality of BOLO devices further comprises: a housing, a computer, a means for communications, and a camera that produces a multitude of scene images, wherein the housing contains the computer, the means for communications, and the camera; a target storage module storing a target descriptor; a pattern matching target recognition module running on the computer, wherein said pattern matching target recognition module is configured to perform at least one of Eigen analysis, orthogonal decompositions, and nonorthogonal decompositions; a control module associated with said computer that triggers said camera at a slow interval of one frame per five seconds providing a low power mode; and an alarm module that causes the communications means to transmit an alarm signal upon receiving a recognition signal; a target transmitter comprising a telephonic device, that passes said plurality of BOLO devices said target descriptor; and a monitor receiver configured to receive and process said alarm signal; wherein the pattern matching target recognition module obtains the scene images, obtains the target descriptor and produces the recognition signal upon discovering that any one of the scene images contains a pattern matching the target descriptor.
