  • Publication number: 20240078884
    Abstract: Methods and systems provided. A system may include a mobile surveillance unit positioned within an environment and including one or more sensors configured to detect one or more events occurring within or near the environment. The system may also include an application program configured to: cause, responsive to a detected event, a first data set associated with the event and captured by a first sensor of the one or more sensors to be conveyed from the mobile surveillance unit; and cause, responsive to the detected event, a second, different data set associated with the event and captured by a second sensor of the one or more sensors to be conveyed from the mobile surveillance unit.

  • Publication number: 20240080523
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the disclosure relate to minimizing data usage over a communication link. A system may include a back-end network configured to: receive, via a first connection, a video stream from at least one camera; transmit, via one or more second connections, the video stream to one or more user devices; cause the video stream from the back-end network to a user device of the one or more user devices to be terminated; and cause the video stream from the at least one camera to the back-end network to be terminated in response to determining that the back-end network is not transmitting the video stream to at least one user device of the one or more user devices.

  • Patent number: 11856259
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to minimizing data usage over a communication link. A system may include a server configured to receive, via a first connection, a video stream from at least one camera. The server may also be configured to provide, via a second connection, the video stream to a user device. Further, the server may be configured to continue to provide the video stream to the user device via the second connection in response to reception of an indicator indicating that a user of the user device is actively viewing the video stream. Moreover, the server may be configured to cause the video stream from the server to the user device to be terminated in response to lack of receipt of the indicator within a predetermined time interval. Associated methods and systems are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11368753
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are related to minimize data usage over a costly or slow communication link. When a user is not watching a video stream, the stream may be terminated preventing any further data usage on a metered data connection. A system may also include a user device and a back-end network with a stream manager service. The stream manager service terminates streaming over a wireless channel by an application of the user device when the user device determines one of inactivity of a user of the user device with the application or navigation on the user device away from the application.

  • Patent number: 10798249
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are related to minimize data usage over a costly or slow communication link, this method allows a camera to stream only when a user or a plurality of users are actively watching the video. When the user(s) are not watching the video stream the stream is terminated preventing any further data usage on the metered data connection. The system may also include a user device and a back-end network with a stream manager service. The stream manager service terminates streaming over a wireless channel by an application of the user device when the user device determines one of inactivity of a user of the user device with the application or navigation on the user device away from the application.

  • Publication number: 20170201782
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a camera system and method. The system and method include at least one camera configured to operate over a network, and a server coupled to the at least one camera over the network. The server captures an image from the at least one camera according to a schedule identifying at least one change in setting to the at least one camera.
