  • Patent number: 9510172
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided, for accessing a data-capture device in a different domain, by public safety wireless communications equipment, for the purpose of obtaining information at an incident. A dispatch controller of a public safety wireless communications system receives an access token from a server of a non-public-safety network, when an incident occurs. The token allows access to a data-capture device, and is associated with the incident. The dispatch controller sends the token to the data-capture device, receives a data stream, and forwards the data stream to a public safety wireless communication device. The public safety wireless communication device may itself discover and access the data-capture device, and may receive the data stream directly from the data-capture device. The public safety wireless communication device may forward the data stream and/or the access token to other public safety wireless communication devices.
