Abstract

A private video surveillance service shares an image stream through an asset lock with government agencies in the event of emergency. Nominated agencies establish access credentials at the surveillance service data center. A camera is shared by a facility administrator's selection of permissions on each camera via privileged web-browser or mobile device. Permissions enable selection by static meta data such as type, audio, location, motion, recognition, PTZR, spectrum, and epoch. Video streams of present and past epochs are controlled by ranges of time. A government agency receives an electronic notification from the administrator to operate an agency dedicated application programming interface. A notification may be customized for each responding agency and each event by dynamically generating a link to a secure webserver which records geo-location or network identifiers for validation. Video servers remain controlled by the facility administrator.

Claims9

Dependent claims

A video stream asset lock apparatus (video asset lock) for control by a private facility asset administrator to selectively enable a public service agency to access private video streams, the video asset lock comprising:

a communication circuit coupled to at least one public service agency which transmits a notification that one of n agency dedicated application programming interfaces (ADAPIn) is operable over a network;
at least one processor core configured to perform at least one ADAPI to connect with a video stream associated with at least one obfuscated camera handle (obhandle);
a store of ADAPI executable instructions;
a private facility asset administrator console configured to initiate said processor core and to notify said public service agency;
and
a video stream asset server coupled to a cache of video streams by obhandle and further coupled to at least one of said processor cores whereby authoritative identity of any camera is not visible to a public service agency and whereby access to a video stream asset is exclusively enabled by said ADAPI.
