1. A method for connecting an input capture device to a cloud platform, comprising:
- communicatively connecting a local computing device and the input capture device to a local communication network via a network device, wherein the input capture device includes one or more environment sensors;
the local computing device querying the network device;
the local computing device identifying the input capture device;
the local computing device configuring the input capture device for communicating with the cloud platform, wherein the input capture device is configured to send, via a communication path, environmental data to the cloud platform, wherein the local computing device is not part of the communication path;
the input capture device communicating the environment data to the cloud platform, wherein the environmental data includes one or more of audio data, video data, motion data, or still images;
wherein the environment data on the cloud platform are accessible by the local computing device locally and/or other authorized computing devices; and
wherein the environment data on the cloud platform are accessible by the other authorized computing devices even when the local computing device is powered off.

Abstract
Systems and methods for setting up a cloud-based video surveillance system with at least one computing device and at least one video camera in a local area network. The at least one computing device has an application program installed and is operable to find out the at least one video camera on the same local area network and connect the at least one video camera to a cloud platform. The video surveillance system is accessible via the at least one computing device locally or other computing device remotely. The video surveillance system is still at work when the at least one computing device is powered off.
