Abstract
A system and method to ensure video integrity for providing on-site images for emergency services is disclosed. An emergency response portal server can establish virtual private networking (VPN) connections to a router associated with a location, building or campus to enable police, fire, emergency medical services access to on-scene images. The system provide notifications to contacts associated with the location and ensure that access to the information is logged and tracked ensure privacy and security.
Claims20
A system for video integrity through an emergency response portal (ERP), the system comprising:
- a router at a property locations coupled to an intranet the router having a virtual private network (VPN) certificate associated the emergency response portal;
- and
- an ERP server coupled to a network for receiving an access request from a device associated with an emergency response service to information associated with a property location, the server configures the VPN with the router at the property location and accesses images from one or more cameras at the location to be provided to an emergency responder service through the ERP server;
- wherein the server stores IP addresses associated with the one or more cameras and credentials to access the one or more cameras, and subsequent requests to access information for the property location is retrieved from the server, wherein images from the cameras are stored on the server rather than accessing the property location again.
A method of video integrity at an emergency response portal, the method comprising:
- a receiving a request from an emergency response service to access video associated with a property location at a server;
- verifying credentials associated with the request at the server and generating a notification of an access request to a property owner associated with the location;
- establishing a virtual private network (VPN) between the server and a router at the property location;
- accessing one or more cameras at the location connected to an intranet at the location;
- retrieving an image from the one or more cameras;
- and
- providing the image to a device associated with the request from the emergency response service.
A non-transitory computer readable memory containing instructions for video integrity at an emergency response portal, the instructions which when executed by a processor perform the method of:
- a receiving a request from an emergency response service to access video associated with a property location at a server;
- verifying credentials associated with the request at the server and generating a notification of an access request to a property owner associated with the location;
- establishing a virtual private network (VPN) between the server and a router at the property location;
- accessing one or more cameras at the location connected to an intranet at the location;
- retrieving an image from the one or more cameras;
- and
- providing the image to a device associated with the request from the emergency response service.
