Real time camera map for emergency video stream requisition service

A method of operation to provide at least one transformed video stream from, at least one of a publicly owned and a privately owned camera bearing on an in-scope location vicinity, to, at least one responding emergency service agency (ESA), the method comprising:

• at a responding ESA,
• determining an identifier for a time and location vicinity for an emergency incident,
• assigning a display terminal to at least one responding agent,
• transmitting a requisition for transformed video streams in-scope to said location vicinity to a surveillance security server (video server);
• upon receipt of a link to a time-bound application programming interface instantiated in a server,
• relaying among the video server and at least one assigned display terminal;
• at said video server,
• maintaining a geo-location macro map of cameras bearing on at least one of location vicinity;
• upon request from an authenticated ESA display terminal,
• transmitting a zoomable and selectable in-scope map of cameras bearing on said location vicinity;
• upon request from an authenticated ESA display terminal,
• activating a time-bound application programming interface (API) wherein activating a time-bound application programming interface comprises storing a virtual machine image of said API into a processor core at a first time and purging said virtual machine image at a second time;
• transmitting a link for operation of said API to said display terminal;
• fulfilling said API operations by optionally transforming and transmitting video streams bearing on said location vicinity;
• maintaining camera owner/operator access permissions, contact information, and default transformation settings;
• notifying each owner/operator of cameras in-scope of a request or demand for transformed video streams from certain cameras;
• and,
• requesting additional access to cameras when an emergency is coming toward the owner/operator's facility or when a suspect may be hiding on their property;
• wherein transformation settings include optional synthetic depth of focus/depth of field to enable selective blurring outside of the public thoroughfare and public lands, blurring within the curtilage of private properties, and hiding background and other intransigent detail;
• and
• wherein, access permissions include display terminals associated with neighbors, security service providers, owner's relations, ESA, location indicia ranges, time of day, day of week, time-bounds, classes of ESA, named services, and whether video streams from cameras bearing solely on interior locations are transmitted.
