Abstract: A method for routing media comprising, at one of a plurality of media devices placed on a local network deployed at a location being surveilled, each media device configured to generate media stream data as the location is being surveilled, detecting networked device(s) placed on the local network, the networked device(s) comprising gateway device(s) each having network connectivity to a cloud computing device, obtaining, based on the detecting, rule(s) from the cloud computing device and/or the gateway device(s), the rule(s) indicative of when the media stream data is to be routed via the gateway device(s) and when the media stream data is to be routed directly to the cloud computing device for processing, monitoring parameter(s) associated with the local network and/or an environment of the location being surveilled to determine whether the rule(s) is satisfied, and, when the rule(s) is satisfied, routing the media stream data according to the rule(s).

Abstract: A method for routing media in a surveillance system comprises, at a gateway device placed on a local network deployed at a location being surveilled and having network connectivity to a cloud computing device, detecting networked device(s) placed on the local network, the networked device(s) comprising media device(s) each configured to generate media stream data as the location is being surveilled, determining a level of interest associated with the media stream data, obtaining, based on the detecting, at least one rule indicative of when the media stream data is to be routed, based on the level of interest, via the gateway device and when the media stream data is to be routed directly to the cloud computing device for processing, and instructing, based on the level of interest, at least one of the networked device(s) to route the media stream data according to the at least one rule.

Abstract: A system for routing media comprises a cloud computing device, networked device(s) placed on a local network deployed at a location being surveilled, the networked device(s) comprising media device(s) each configured to generate media stream data as the location is being surveilled, and a gateway device placed on the local network and having network connectivity to the cloud computing device, the gateway device configured for detecting the networked device(s), obtaining, based on the detecting, rule(s) indicative of when the media stream data is to be routed via the gateway device and when the media stream data is to be routed directly to the cloud computing device, monitoring parameter(s) associated with the local network and/or an environment of the location to determine whether the rule(s) is satisfied, and, when the rule(s) is satisfied, instructing at least one of the networked device(s) to route the media stream data according to the rule(s).

Abstract: The invention is directed to a pressure controller and a method for monitoring and controlling the pressure level in a fire protection piping network maintained under vacuum pressure and for detecting a positive pressure variation in the network. The rate of pressure increase is used to detect the opening of a sprinkler head in the sprinkler piping network.
