Abstract
A method and system for monitoring a location via a called telephony communication device is disclosed. The method at the called telephony communication device includes receiving a request from a calling telephony communication device. Further, the method includes determining whether the received request is for monitoring the location. The method further includes automatically transmitting audio/video data captured via the called telephony communication device to the calling telephony communication device when the received request is determined to be one for monitoring the location.
Claims21
(canceled)
A monitoring device comprising:
- a sensor device configured to capture infra-red movement at a location;
- a battery configured to provide power to the monitoring device;
- a transmitter;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive, from a client device, a request to monitor the location;
- and
- responsive to receiving the request, automatically transmit, via the transmitter and to the client device, at least the captured infra-red movement.
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a battery-powered monitor device and from a client device, a request to monitor a location;
- capturing, using a sensor device of the monitoring device, infra-red movement at the location;
- and
- responsive to receiving the request to monitor the location, automatically transmitting, via a transmitter of the monitoring device and to the client device, at least the captured infra-red movement.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a battery-powered computing device, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive, from a client device, a request to monitor a location;
- capture, using a sensor device of the computing device, infra-red movement at the location;
- and
- responsive to receiving the request to monitor the location, automatically transmit, via a transmitter of the computing device and to the client device, at least the captured infra-red movement.
