1. A method for removing data from a surveillance system, the method comprising the steps of: providing a base system, the base system including at least one wireless input capture device ICD(s) and a corresponding digital input recorder (DIR) or another ICD wherein the ICDs are installed at spaced apart fixed locations for monitoring a surveillance area, wherein the ICDs are operable for direct cross-control of surveillance area settings and cross-communication with each other, wherein the direct cross-communication of ICDs includes data exchange, and wherein the data exchange includes information about the surveillance environment, and wherein the direct cross-control includes the direct exchange of set triggers and trigger events, settings, inputs and combinations thereof, which further includes an external removable data storage device; the system permitting at least one user to access the DIR and/or ICD(s) via a user interface either directly or remotely;the system capturing inputs via the ICD(s), wherein the inputs include captured inputs by the ICD(s) and data, including data associated with image tagging or flagging based upon the occurrence of a trigger event;the system automatically detecting a trigger event at any of the ICD(s) responding to the occurrence of the trigger event wherein the trigger event includes a predefined input captured by at least one of the ICDs;transferring data associated with the captured inputs to an external removable data storage device connected to the DIR and/or ICD(s), thereby providing for data storage and transfer from the surveillance system. 2. A method for activating communication between at least one wireless digital input capture device (ICD(s)) and a corresponding wireless digital input recorder (DIR) forming a wireless surveillance system comprising the steps of: a) providing the wireless surveillance system having at least one ICD constructed and configured for wireless digital communication with a corresponding wireless DIR, wherein the DIR has a memory and a data processor for running software is operable for transmitting instructions to and receiving and recording data inputs from the ICD(s); and an external removable data storage device connected to the DIR or ICD(s); wherein the ICDs are operable for direct cross-control of surveillance area settings and cross-communication with each other, wherein the direct cross-communication of ICDs includes data exchange, and wherein the data exchange includes information about the surveillance environment, and wherein the direct cross-control includes the direct exchange of set triggers and trigger events, settings, inputs and combinations thereof;b) providing a user interface for the DIR operable for establishing or adjusting settings;c) the DIR searching for a signal from at least one selected ICD;d) the DIR establishing communication with the selected ICD(s);e) the ICD(s) capturing inputs associated with a target environment, wherein the inputs include captured inputs by the ICD(s) and data associated with image tagging or flagging based upon the occurrence of a trigger event;f) the system automatically detecting a trigger event at any of the ICD(s) and responding to occurrence of the trigger event wherein the trigger event includes a predefined input captured by at least one of the ICDs;g) transferring of copying data associated with the capture inputs to the external removable data storage device;thereby providing a method for secure communication in the surveillance system between at least one ICD and corresponding DIR. 3. The method according to claim 2, further including the step of: h) removing the external removable data storage device. 4. The method according to claim 2, wherein the user establishes the trigger event. 5. The method according to claim 2, wherein the trigger event is predetermined. 6. The method according to claim 2, wherein the trigger event is the detection of inputs by the ICD(s). 7. A surveillance system having removable data storage comprising: a base system including at least one wireless input capture device (ICD), the ICD(s) having at least one sensor and at least one input component for detecting and recording inputs, a processor, a memory, a transmitter/receiver, all constructed and configured in electronic connection; wherein the ICDs are operable for wireless direct cross-control of surveillance area settings and cross-communication with each other and a digital input recorder (DIR), wherein the cross-communication of ICDs and DIR includes data exchange, and wherein the data exchange includes information about the surveillance environment, and wherein the direct cross-control includes the direct exchange of set triggers and trigger events, settings, inputs, and combinations thereof;an external removable storage device connected to the DIR and/or ICD(s), operable to receive transferred or copied data associated with inputs captured by the ICD(s) including inputs captured by the ICD(s) data associated with image tagging or flagging based upon the occurrence of a trigger event, and the system is operable to activate data transfer automatically if a trigger event is detected by any of the ICDs, wherein the trigger event is automatically by the system at any of the ICD(s) and includes a predefined input captured by at least one of the ICDs; thereby providing for data storage and transfer from the surveillance system. 8. The system according to claim 7, wherein the external removable storage device is portable. 9. The system according to claim 7, wherein the external removable storage device is a USB key. 10. The system according to claim 7, wherein the data is tagged based upon the occurrence of a trigger event.
