Abstract: To allow secure communications between a video capturing device and mobile devices, an association process includes providing a unique pattern, such as a QR code, to the mobile device in proximity to the video capturing device. The unique pattern is used by the mobile device to request pairing with the client device, either directly or via a cloud-based system.
