US 2021/0343126 A1 · Real time camera map for emergency video stream requisition service

Abstract

A system provides a transformed video stream from, a publicly or privately owned and operated camera bearing on an in-scope location vicinity, to, a responding emergency service agency (ESA). A request from an emergency services agent's display terminal includes location indicia and elicits a map of cameras bearing on the location vicinity as well as other display terminals in the area. Upon request, an application programming interface enables a video stream to comply with the privacy and access settings of the camera owner/operators. A plurality of private and public security surveillance cameras is coupled to a server. Exterior/street view video images are streamed to the server which may contact an owner for emergency access. An emergency agency vehicle at a location has a display for a selected gallery of obfuscated exterior/street views from cooperative networks of public and private security cameras bearing on the vicinity of an incident.

Dependent claims

A method for peer to peer real time video streaming among private security surveillance servers, the method comprising:

at a plurality of Internet coupled servers each further coupled to a display, further coupled to a camera and further coupled to a wireless network through a transceiver, exchanging public keys (PBkeys), requests for video streams, and encrypted video streams by,
at a first server,
coupling to a first camera,
coupling to a first wireless transceiver,
determining a 1st Private Key (pvkey) and a 1st Public Key (1st PBKey), and
encoding said 1st Public Key as a 1st optically readable and decodable image (1st QRcode);
at a second server,
coupling to a second camera,
coupling to a second wireless transceiver,
determining a 2nd Private Key (2nd pvkey) and a 2nd Public Key (2nd PBKey), and
encoding said 2nd Public Key as 2nd optically readable and decodable image code (2nd QRcode).

8 more elements

A method of operation for a video surveillance security server:

receiving from a first emergency service agency (ESA) display terminal an authentication credential for said agency, location indicia for the current vicinity of said terminal, and a request for enabled video streams within a specified range of said location indicia;
enabling transmission through at least one time-bound application programming interface (api);
transmitting a map of camera locations within a specified range of said location indicia;
and
fulfilling the api by transmitting a video stream from at least one privately owned and operated video surveillance camera to said requesting ESA display terminal.
