Abstract: Techniques are described for provisioning Wi-Fi network connectivity for a wireless device without requiring a user to provide network credentials to allow the wireless device to establish a network connection. In some implementations, a method is performed by a computing device to provision a wireless network connection. A MAC address associated with a property is obtained. A temporary network credential for the wireless device is determined based on the MAC Address of the wireless device. The temporary network credential permits the wireless device to connect to a temporary network. The temporary network credential for the wireless device is available over the temporary network. A determination that the wireless device has connected to the temporary network using the temporary network credential for the wireless device is made. An instruction is transmitted to the wireless device over the temporary network in response to the determination.

Abstract: In some implementations, a system is capable of managing keys for encrypting media streams over UDP communications between a media source and an associated server. A key is initially generated for encrypting a media stream captured by a media source device associated with a monitoring system of a property. A first instruction is provided to the media source device and over a secure communication channel. The first instruction causes the media source device to encrypt the media stream using the key when received by the media source device. A second instruction is generated for decrypting the encrypted media stream. The second instruction is provided to a computing device associated with the property. The second instruction causes the computing device to decrypt the encrypted media stream when received by the computing device.
