Surveillance monitoring systems and methods for remotely viewing data and controlling cameras
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method performed by a surveillance system including a wireless computing device and at least one intelligent appliance, the method comprising:
- receiving surveillance area data and permissions data;
establishing a surveillance area based on the received surveillance area data;
comparing data associated with a person and the permissions data to determine whether to monitor the surveillance area,if the surveillance system determines to monitor the surveillance area,capturing, via at least one intelligent appliance, environmental data from the surveillance area, wherein the environment data includes video, images, sound, temperature data, chemical presence data, motion data, or any combinations thereof;
wirelessly transmitting data between the at least one intelligent appliance and a wireless computing device via a mesh network, wherein the wireless computing device is configured to communicate with a wireless access point and to control operation of the at least one intelligent appliance based on one or more settings set by a first operator,detecting, via the surveillance system, one or more events associated with the person based on the captured environmental data,automatically sending an alert for notifying a second operator based on the one or more events,providing the first or second operator an interface to at least perform one of;
reviewing, at a remote viewing device, the environmental data captured by the surveillance system and associated with the one or more events, orcontrolling, by the remote viewing device, at least one of the wireless computing device or the at least one intelligent appliance,wherein the interface includes controls for video archive, camera settings, event calendar, and program options.

Abstract
A surveillance system monitors a predetermined environment based on received data. The surveillance system includes a first intelligent appliance configured to capture video and/or still images and configured to be in wireless communication with a second intelligent appliance that operates based on data from the first intelligent appliance. The surveillance system can detect a person located within the predetermined environment and can track the person'"'"'s movement. The surveillance system is configured to allow remote viewing of data and/or controlling cameras.

6. A computer-readable medium storing contents that, when executed by one or more processors of a surveillance system including a first intelligent appliance configured to capture at least one of video or still images and being configured to be in wireless communication with a second intelligent appliance that operates based on data from the first intelligent appliance, cause the surveillance system to perform actions comprising:
-
receiving surveillance area data and permissions data from an operator; establishing a predetermined environment based on the received surveillance area data; capturing, via at least one intelligent appliance, environmental data from the predetermined environment, wherein the environment data includes video, images, sound, temperature data, chemical presence data, motion data, or any combinations thereof; wirelessly transmitting data between the at least one intelligent appliance and a wireless computing device via a mesh network, wherein the wireless computing device is configured to communicate with a wireless access point and to control operation of the at least one intelligent appliance based on one or more settings set by the operator, detecting a person located within the predetermined environment; tracking the person'"'"'s movement; and providing the operator an interface to perform at least one of; reviewing, via a remote viewing device, at least one of the video or still images captured by the first intelligent appliance, or controlling, via the remote viewing device, the second intelligent appliance, wherein the interface includes controls for video archive, camera settings, event calendar, and program options. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system at least partly operable on a mesh network, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and memory having instructions configured to cause the at least one processor to; receive surveillance area data and permissions data; establish a target environment based on the received surveillance area data; capture, via at least one intelligent appliance, environmental data from the target environment, wherein the environment data includes video, images, sound, temperature data, chemical presence data, motion data, or any combinations thereof; wirelessly transmit data between the at least one intelligent appliance and a wireless computing device via a mesh network, wherein the wireless computing device is configured to communicate with a wireless access point and to control operation of the at least one intelligent appliance based on one or more settings set by an operator; detecting a person located within the surveillance environment; and providing the operator an interface to perform at least one of; reviewing, via a remote viewing device, the environment data captured by the at least one intelligent appliance, or controlling, via the remote viewing device, the at least one intelligent appliance, wherein the interface includes controls for video archive, camera settings, event calendar, and program options. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
