INTERNET SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM AND REMOTE CONTROL OF NETWORKED DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- providing, at a server connected to the Internet, code for enabling access to networked devices at a remote location using a networked computing device;
receiving, at the server, user login data via the networked computing device, to identify a user and to provide access to the networked devices;
the method enabling,receiving a status request at the server, via the networked computing device, to view status of one or more of the networked devices, the status including an update condition for at least one of the networked devices; and
receiving a control request at the server, via the networked computing device, to operate one or more utility controls at the remote location, the utility controls including one or more of controls for accessing a security system, accessing cameras at the remote location, setting temperature level for heating or cooling for at least a region of the remote location, or setting lighting of a selected region of the remote location,the remote location includes a location computer that is in communication with the networked devices and is connected to the Internet, the location computer including a processor and is configured for communication with the server.

Abstract
Methods are provided to access devices over the Internet and to control and/or set states of devices over the Internet. One method includes providing, at a server connected to the Internet, code for enabling access to networked devices at a remote location using a networked computing device. The method receives, at the server, user login data via the networked computing device, to identify a user and to provide access to the networked devices. The method enables receiving a status request at the server, via the networked computing device, to view status of one or more of the networked devices. The status includes an update condition for at least one of the networked devices. The method also enables receiving a control request at the server, via the networked computing device, to operate one or more utility controls at the remote location. The utility controls include one or more of controls for a security system, accessing cameras at the remote location, setting temperature level for heating or cooling at least a region of the remote location, or setting lighting of a selected room at the remote location. The remote location includes a location computer that is in communication with the networked devices and is connected to the Internet. The location computer includes a processor and is configured for communication with the server. The method is operable for any computing device that has access to the Internet, including wireless hand-held networked devices.
