Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Video monitoring and alarm verification technology, in which a first connection is established between a first device and a camera located in a monitored property associated with a user of the first device and image data captured by the camera is received over the first connection and at the first device. A determination is made to establish a second connection with a second device that enables sharing of the received image data with the second device and, in response to the determination, the second connection is established between the first device and the second device. The received image data is shared with the second device over the second connection and the second device is restricted from directly accessing image data captured by the camera located in the monitored property.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method comprising: establishing a first connection between a first device and a camera located in a monitored property associated with a user of the first device; receiving, over the first connection and at the first device, image data captured by the camera located in the monitored property associated with the user of the first device; determining, at the first device, to establish a second connection with a second device that enables sharing of the received image data with the second device; in response to the determination to establish the second connection with the second device that enables sharing of the received image data with the second device, establishing the second connection between the first device and the second device; sharing, by the first device over the second connection, the received image data with the second device; and restricting an ability of the second device to directly access image data captured by the camera located in the monitored property.
