Real-time and secured picture/video upload via a content delivery network

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• verifying that incoming content from a device is authorized;
• selectively transferring the content from the device along a first communication path to user equipment, wherein the first communication path is established between the device and the user equipment through an overlay network;
• facilitating establishing a second communication path through the overlay network between the mobile device and the user equipment in response to a determination that the first communication path is overloaded;
• and
• transferring the content from the mobile device along the second communication path to the user equipment in response to a determination that bandwidth is limited, wherein the content from the mobile device is prioritized over other content for transfer along the second communication path to the customer premises equipment in response to the determination that the bandwidth is limited.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions which, responsive to being executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising:

• verifying that incoming content from a device is authorized;
• selectively transferring the content from the device along a first communication path to user equipment, wherein the first communication path is established between the device and the user equipment through an overlay network;
• facilitating establishing a second communication path through the overlay network between the mobile device and the user equipment in response to a determination that the first communication path is overloaded;
• and
• transferring the content from the mobile device along the second communication path to the user equipment in response to a determination that bandwidth is limited, wherein the content from the mobile device is prioritized over other content for transfer along the second communication path to the customer premises equipment in response to the determination that the bandwidth is limited.
