System and Method for Surveillance
First Claim
1. A system for surveillance comprising:
- a) an external storage device connected to a computing device;
said external storage device being capable of exchanging data with a registration and matching service via said computing device through a data communication network; and
b) a monitoring device;
said monitoring device being capable of exchanging data with said registration and matching service via said data communication network;
wherein said registration and matching service receives at least one unique identification code from said external storage device and said monitoring device and uses it to establish a unique pairing between said external storage device and said monitoring device;
said unique pairing being stored in at least one of said external storage device and said monitoring device so that subsequent data exchange between them can be directly established using said unique pairing without the need of re-registration.

Abstract
A plug-and-play surveillance system that can be set up by even computer-illiterates is disclosed herein. The system comprises an external storage device connected to a computing device and a monitoring device. A registration and matching service receives at least one unique identification code from the external storage device and the monitoring device and uses it to establish a unique pairing between the external storage device and the monitoring device. Subsequent communication between them can be directly established without the need of re-registration. The present invention provides a convenient surveillance system without complex setting and configuration. The present invention also provides higher privacy level and flexibility that additional features can be added to the system based on the user'"'"'s need.
