Method and apparatus for vehicle surveillance service in municipal environments
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a processor; and
memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the process to effectuate operations comprising;
receiving a request to register with a service provider for surveillance of a mobile property for a period of time while the mobile property is within a first region associated with the service provider;
based on the request to register with the service provider, initiating a comparison of a global positioning system-based location of a mobile property to a plurality of surveillance regions to determine if the location of the mobile property correlates with at least one of the plurality of surveillance regions;
when at least one of the plurality of surveillance regions correlates to the location of the mobile property, determining a monitoring device for covering the correlating surveillance region for the period of time while the mobile property is within the first region,wherein the monitoring device comprises at least one of a video recorder or an audio recorder; and
based on the monitoring device, allowing a mobile device to receive an audio or video feed of the mobile property using the monitoring device for the period of time while the mobile property is within the first region.

Abstract
A set of cameras can operate in coordination for surveillance purposes to provide situation awareness at a system level. Any infrastructure of cameras, public or private, can incidentally view and record an individual'"'"'s mobile property when in view of any of these cameras. A locating unit can determine the approximate location of a mobile property. A monitoring device that correlates to the mobile property'"'"'s location can be selected. The transmission of surveillance information from the selected monitoring device can be provided to a user, such as via a transmission to the user'"'"'s mobile device. Thus, the individual can have access to the monitoring device'"'"'s viewing or recorded data to increase surveillance of mobile property.

9. A method comprising:
initiating, via an application executing on a communications device, a processor, a comparison of a location of a mobile property to a plurality of surveillance regions to determine if the location of the mobile property correlates with at least one of the plurality of surveillance regions, wherein; the plurality of surveillance regions comprises a triggering location region; the plurality of surveillance regions is defined by at least a listening radius of respective monitoring devices; at least one of the respective monitoring devices are in transit; and the comparison is performed independent of the mobile property being detected in a surveillance region; and when at least one of the plurality of surveillance regions correlates to the location of the mobile property, receiving, by the communications device, a feed from a monitoring device covering the correlating surveillance region, wherein the monitoring device comprises at least one of a video recorder or an audio recorder. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-readable storage medium that is not a signal per se, the computer readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
-
receiving a request to register with a service provider for surveillance of a mobile property for a period of time while the mobile property is within a first region associated with the service provider; based on the request to register with the service provider, initiating a comparison of a global positioning system-based location of a mobile property to a plurality of surveillance regions to determine if the location of the mobile property correlates with at least one of the plurality of surveillance regions; when at least one of the plurality of surveillance regions correlates to the location of the mobile property, receiving a feed from determining a monitoring device for covering the correlating surveillance region for the period of time while the mobile property is within the first region, wherein the monitoring device comprises at least one of a video recorder or an audio recorder; and based on the monitoring device, allowing a mobile device to receive an audio or video feed of the mobile property using the monitoring device for the period of time while the mobile property is within the first region. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
