## Abstract

Methods and systems provided. A system may include at least one camera at a camera location, wherein the at least one camera is configured to record one or more videos and one or more images. The system may further include a server. The server may be configure to download at least one image of the one or more images captured at the camera location. The server may also be configured to display the one or more downloaded images. Further, the server may also be configured to, in response to a user selecting a displayed image of the one or more displayed images, download a specific portion of the previously recorded one or more videos captured at the camera location.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system, comprising:
at least one camera at a camera location and configured to record one or more videos and one or more images; and
an application program configured to:
download, from the camera location to a cloud device over a metered connection, and store at the cloud device, at least one image of the one or more images captured at the camera location;
enable the at least one downloaded image to be displayed via an electronic device remote from the camera location; and
in response to user input associated with a downloaded and displayed image of the at least one downloaded and displayed image and via the electronic device, download, from the camera location to the cloud device over the metered connection, and store at the cloud device, a specific portion of the one or more videos previously captured at the camera location and associated with the downloaded and displayed image.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising:
at least one storage device at the camera location and communicatively coupled the at least one camera; and
a modem at the camera location and communicatively coupled to at least one of the at least one storage device or the at least one camera.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the application program is configured to enable the electronic device to download the specific portion of the one or more videos.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the application program is further configured to combine two or more video clips to generate the specific portion of the one or more videos.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising at least one storage device coupled to the at least one camera.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, the application program further configured to enable a user, via the electronic device, to select a downloaded image based on a specific date and time.

### Claim 7

A method, comprising:
recording at least one video clip and one or more images at a camera location;
downloading, from the camera location to a cloud device over a metered connection, and storing at the cloud device, at least one image of the one or more images without simultaneously downloading the at least one video clip;
enabling the at least one image to be displayed at an electronic device remote from the camera location; and
downloading, from the camera location to the cloud device over the metered connection and in response to a request associated with the at least one displayed image, and storing at the cloud device, a previously recorded portion of interest of the at least one video clip, the portion of interest associated with the at least one displayed image.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein downloading the at least one image comprises periodically downloading an image of the at least one image.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, further comprising combining two or more video clips of the portion of interest to generate a single video clip.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, further comprising displaying a user interface (UI) including a calendar, a selection component for selecting a time period, and the at least one image within the selected time period.

### Claim 11 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein downloading the previously recorded portion of interest comprises downloading the previously recorded portion of interest without downloading all other portions of the at least one video clip from the camera location.

### Claim 12 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, further comprising enabling the portion of interest to be played at the electronic device.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, wherein enabling the portion of interest to be played comprises causing the portion of interest to be accessible in the cloud.

### Claim 14

A system, comprising:
at least one camera at a camera location and configured to capture one or more videos and one or more images;
the system configured to:
download, from the camera location to a cloud device over a metered connection, and store at the cloud device, at least one image of the one or more images captured at the camera location;
enable the at least one downloaded image to be displayed at an electronic device remote from the camera location; and
in response to a user input associated with a displayed image of the at least one downloaded image, download, from the camera location to the cloud device over the metered connection, and store at the cloud device, a specific portion of the one or more videos captured at the camera location without downloading every other portion of the one or more videos, the specific portion associated with the displayed image.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The system of claim 14, further comprising:
at least one storage device at the camera location and communicatively coupled to the at least one camera; and
a communication device at the camera location and communicatively coupled to at least one of the at least one storage device or the at least one camera.

### Claim 16 (depends on 14)

The system of claim 14, wherein the user input comprises selection of an image of the at least one displayed downloaded image.

### Claim 17

A system, comprising:
at least one camera at a camera location;
the system configured to:
download, from the camera location to a cloud device over a metered connection, and store at the cloud device, data associated with at least one video captured via the camera;
enable at least a portion of the downloaded data to be displayed via an electronic device; and
in response to a user selection related to at least some of the displayed data, download, from the camera location to the cloud device over the metered connection, and store at the cloud device, a specific portion of the at least one video captured at the camera location, the specific portion associated with the at least some of the displayed data.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The system of claim 17, wherein the data comprises one or more images captured via the camera.

### Claim 19

A non-transitory computer readable media configured to store a set of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a system to perform operations comprising:
download, from a camera location to a cloud device over a metered connection, and store at the cloud device, at least one image of one or more images captured at the camera location;
display, at an electronic device remote from the camera location, the one or more downloaded images; and
in response to a user input associated with a displayed image of the one or more downloaded images, download, from the camera location to the cloud device over the metered connection, and store at the cloud device, a specific portion of one or more videos captured at the camera location without downloading every other portion of the one or more videos from the camera location, the specific portion associated with the displayed image.
