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,allowing the first or second operator to use a remote viewing device to be able toreview, at the remote viewing device, the environmental data captured by the surveillance system and associated with the one or more events, and/orcontrol, by the remote viewing device, the wireless computing device and/or at least one intelligent appliance.

Abstract
A surveillance systems 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.
