Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a system with increased security for remote monitoring and mobile remote control of objects. The mobile system consists of at least one local system for monitoring (4), communication devices (8) for data transfer between at least one monitoring object (11) and at least one monitored object (12) and connection system (1). The connection system (1) is one private computer (2) and cellular (3) network of a mobile operator, which is capable of registering Access Point Name and has Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server with capability for reservation of static IP addresses. A method is discovered where controlled devices for communication and controlling devices for communication are connected to a private computer and cellular network of a single mobile operator.

Claims

1. Mobile system for remote control and viewing of objects, comprising:

a connection system, which includes a network of at least one mobile operator;

a local computer system for monitoring, linked to the connection system; and

communication devices for data transfer between at least one monitored object and at least one monitoring object also linked to the connection system;

wherein the local monitoring system includes at least one video camera for monitoring with capabilities for control and/or configuring by a computer, as well as at least one computer connected to the video camera,

wherein the control devices for communications include controlling devices for communications at the monitored object and controlled devices for communications at the monitored object,

wherein the controlling devices for communication are connected to the network of a mobile operator, and

wherein;

the connection system is built from a private computer and cellular network of one mobile operator;

the system of the mobile operator is capable of registering an Access Point Name;

the system of the mobile operator has a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server with capability for reserving private IP addresses for a registered SIM cards;

the private IP addresses are static;

the controlling devices for communications comprise at least one mobile device with a SIM card with a capability to operate with a rate of at least 84 Kbps;

at least one of the controlling devices for communication is capable of receiving data from controlled mobile device, connected to the computer of the video camera for monitoring of the object;

the controlled devices for communications are at least one mobile device with a SIM card capable of operating with at least 84 Kbps;

at least one of the controlled mobile devices for communications is connected to at least one computer of a video camera at the monitored object with capabilities for data transfer;

2. The Mobile system, according to claim 1, wherein, at least one of the controlling mobile devices for communications with a SIM card is a mobile smart phone.

3. Mobile system, according to claim 1, wherein, the controlling mobile device for communication of at least one controlling object is connected to a computer.

4. Mobile system, according to claim 3, wherein, the computer is portable.

5. Mobile system, according to claim 1, wherein, at least one controlled mobile device is connected to at least two computers of video cameras.

6. Mobile system, according to claim 1, wherein, the video cameras are IP cameras.

7. Mobile system, according to claim 1, wherein, the controlled mobile device is 3G router.

8. Mobile systems, according to claim 1, wherein, at least one video camera is installed in a vehicle.

9. Mobile system, according to claim 1, wherein, between the communication devices is established a Virtual Private Network.

10. Mobile system, according to claim 1, wherein, the local system for monitoring includes a microphone.

11. Mobile system, according to claim 10, wherein, the microphone is built-in the video camera.

12. Mobile system, according to claim 1, wherein, at least one controlling mobile device in the controlling object has a capability for data storage in the computer and/or with a capability for remote control of the data storage in computer of at least one local monitoring system.

13. Mobile system, according to claim 1, wherein, the video camera has built-in computer.

14. Method for remote control of objects, comprising:

installation and configuration of application software in communication devices controlled at least through one local computer system for audio and/or video monitoring where the software provides for local and remote audio and/or visual monitoring of at least one monitored object, connecting of control devices for communications to the network of a mobile operator;

data transfer between the control devices for communication of the controlled object and the controlling devices for communication of the controlling object;

as well as real time remote monitoring and control of the monitored object, wherein,

the controlled devices for communication and the controlling devices for communication connect to a private computer and cellular network of one mobile operator;

before the transfer of data and remote monitoring and control, a registration is made with the mobile operator of an Access Point Name (APN) of a private network for wireless access;

activation with the mobile operator of at least two SIM cards for data transfer, registration with the mobile operator of the activated SIM cards for use with the registered APN;

the mobile operator defines static private IP addresses for each SIM card registered with the APN;

reservation with the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server of the mobile operator of the predefined IP addresses;

placing each SIM card in one mobile device and creating of a profile for connection to the registered APN with the mobile operator;

linking to at least one local network of a mobile device for communication;

setting of the system and application software of the local system for wireless connection to a private APN network of the mobile operator.

15. Method for remote control according to claim 14, wherein, the mobile operator registers the APN name with at least one other mobile operator, with which it has a signed contract for roaming.

16. Method for remote control, according to claim 14, wherein, in the application software of the local monitoring system a white list is created, where all private IP addresses are included, from which audio and/or video monitoring and control is allowed of the monitored object.

17. Method for remote control, according to claim 14, wherein, the local computer system for monitoring is continuously connected to the network of the mobile operator.

18. Method for remote control, according to claim 14, wherein, the local computer system of the control devices notifies at least one controlling object about predefined events in the application software
