Surveillance monitoring systems and methods for remotely viewing data and controlling cameras

A system for operation at a user's premises, comprising:

• a plurality of intelligent appliances configured to automatically establish communication channels with one another based on their positions relative to one another, thereby maintaining a mesh network at the user's premises;
• and
• a wireless computing device configured to receive data from each of the plurality of intelligent appliances, wherein the wireless computing device includes memory for storing the received data, wherein the wireless computing device is programmed to
• manage the mesh network, and
• receive at least a portion of environment data captured by a first intelligent appliance of the plurality of intelligent appliances, wherein the environment data includes video, images, sound, temperature data, chemical presence data, motion data, or any combinations thereof regarding the user's premises,
• wherein the system is configured to provide remote viewing, via a communication viewing device associated with a person, of the received environment data, wherein the communication viewing device is capable of controlling, via a remote server, at least one of the wireless computing device or one or more of the intelligent appliances,
• wherein the system is configured to detect one or more trigger events based, at least in part, on user input received from the communication viewing device and the at least a portion of the received environment data, and
• wherein the system is configured to in response to detection of the one or more trigger events, cause a second intelligent appliance of the plurality of intelligent appliances perform an action at the user's premises.

A wireless device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory having instructions, executable by the one or more processors, to cause the wireless device to:
• detect a first intelligent appliance at the user's premises;
• in response to detecting the first Intelligent appliance, cause the first intelligent applicant to communicate via a secured mesh network, wherein a second intelligent appliance communicates via the secured mesh network with the wireless device, wherein at least one of the first second intelligent appliance or the second intelligent appliance is configured to function as a repeater to extend to the range of the secured mesh network;
• receive, via a remote server, user data from a communication device associated with at least one person, wherein the wireless device is configured to enable the at least one person to
• view, via the communication device, environmental data captured by the first intelligent appliance and/or second intelligent appliance, and
• control, via the communication device, at least one of the first intelligent appliance or the second intelligent appliance;
• detect one or more trigger events based, at least in part, on the user data and the at least a portion of the captured environment data from the first Intelligent appliance;
• and
• in response to detecting the one or more trigger events, cause the second intelligent appliance to perform an action.

A wireless device that communicates via a secured mesh network, the wireless device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory having instructions, executable by the one or more processors, to cause the wireless device to:
• manage the secured mesh network, at a user's premises, to communicate with the first and second intelligent appliances, wherein at least one of the first intelligent appliance or the second intelligent appliance is configured to function as a repeater,
• allow a new Intelligent appliance to join the secured mesh network based on user-activation;
• detect one or more trigger events based, at least in part, on one or more inputs from a user and the at least a portion of environment data captured by the first intelligent appliance;
• in response to detecting the one or more trigger events, automatically causing the second intelligent appliance to perform at least one action at the user's premises;
• and
• providing control, via a remote server, of the first intelligent applicant and/or the second intelligent appliance to a remote viewing device associated with a user.
