Abstract
Systems and methods for providing an authenticated groupcast stream of content to destination receivers are disclosed. A method may include receiving information indicating that a media capturing source(s) located at a premises and destination receivers are included in a group. Content captured from a media capturing source(s) may be received. The content may include an image(s)/video(s) and a destination network address associated with the destination receivers. The content may be copied. The number of copies of content may correspond to a number of the destination receivers. A respective copy of the content may be sent to the destination receivers.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining one or more destination entities corresponding to at least one media capture source located at a premises;
- receiving, from the at least one media capture source, content comprising at least an indication of a destination network address associated with the one or more destination entities, wherein the destination network address is used to determine one or more network addresses of the one or more destination entities;
- generating one or more transmissions of at least a portion of the content;
- and
- sending to the one or more destination entities a respective transmission of the one or more transmissions of the at least a portion of the content.
A computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory;
- and
- a set of instructions stored in the memory that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause:
- determining one or more destination entities corresponding to at least one media capture source located at a premises;
- receiving, from the at least one media capture source, content comprising at least an indication of a destination network address associated with the one or more destination entities, wherein the destination network address is used to determine one or more network addresses of the one or more destination entities;
- generating one or more transmissions of at least a portion of the content;
- and
- sending to the one or more destination entities a respective transmission of the one or more transmissions of the at least a portion of the content.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising a set of computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause:
- determining one or more destination entities corresponding to at least one media capture source located at a premises;
- receiving, from the at least one media capture source, content comprising at least an indication of a destination network address associated with the one or more destination entities, wherein the destination network address is used to determine one or more network addresses of the one or more destination entities;
- generating one or more transmissions of at least a portion of the content;
- and
- sending to the one or more destination entities a respective transmission of the one or more transmissions of the at least a portion of the content.
