Abstract
A surveillance system and method with at least one wireless input capture device ICD(s) and a corresponding digital input recorder (DIR) and/or another ICD, including the steps of providing the base system; at least one user accessing the DIR via user interface either directly or remotely; the DIR and/or ICD searching for signal from the ICD(s) and establishing communication with them, and the system providing for input capture and data transmission prioritization, thereby providing a secure surveillance system having wireless communication for monitoring a target environment with prioritization capabilities.
Claims29
A server computer for managing a secured local wireless network, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory having instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the server computer to perform operations including:
- wirelessly communicating, via the secured local wireless network, with a first electronic device and a second electronic device, wherein the second electronic device comprises a recording device and the first electronic device is configurable with individualized settings associated with the second electronic device via wireless communications between the first electronic device and the second electronic device;
- controlling access to a remote device and operation of at least one of the first electronic device or the second electronic device via the server computer by the remote device, wherein the remote device is one of a cell phone, watch or a personal digital assistant (PDA);
- receiving surveillance data captured by the first electronic device;
- and
- in response to receiving the captured surveillance data, controlling the second electronic device based on the received surveillance data and locally stored user-inputted settings.
5 more elements
A method, comprising:
- automatically controlling operation of a plurality of wireless electronic devices, wherein each of the wireless electronic devices is configured to communicate via a secured local network managed by a local management device;
- receiving, at the local management device, surveillance data captured by a first one of the plurality of wireless electronic devices;
- in response to receiving the surveillance data, controlling operation of a second one of the plurality of wireless electronic devices based on at least a portion of the received surveillance data and locally-stored user settings, wherein the second one of the plurality of wireless electronic devices comprises a recording device, and the first one of the plurality of wireless electronic devices is configurable with individualized settings associated with the second one of the plurality of wireless electronic devices via wireless communications between the first electronic device and the second electronic device;
- and
- controlling access to a remote device and operation of at least one of the wireless electronic devices via the local management device by the remote device, wherein the remote device is one of a cell phone, watch or a personal digital assistant (PDA).
2 more elements
A system for wireless communication, comprising:
- a first electronic device;
- a second electronic device comprising a recording device and the first electronic device is configurable with individualized settings associated with the second electronic device via wireless communications between the first electronic device and the second electronic device;
- a server computer comprising one or more processors;
- and memory having instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the server computer to:
- wirelessly communicate, via a secured local wireless network, with the first electronic device and the second electronic device;
- control access to a remote device and operation of at least one of the first electronic device or the second electronic device based on user input provided via the server computer by the remote device, wherein the remote device is one of a cell phone, watch or a personal digital assistant (PDA);
- receive surveillance data captured by the first electronic device;
- and
- in response to receiving the captured surveillance data, locally control the second electronic device based on the received surveillance data and locally stored user-inputted settings.
