First Claim
1. A surveillance station comprising:
- a controller operable to place the surveillance station in one of a surveillance mode and an emergency response mode;
a video camera communicatively coupled to the controller;
a communication module communicatively coupled to the controller, the communication module being operable to transmit real time video data from the video camera to an operations center in both the surveillance mode and the emergency response mode and to receive real time video data from the operations center in emergency response mode; and
a display screen communicatively coupled to the controller, the display screen being operable to display the received real time video data in emergency response mode.

Abstract
A real time emergency response surveillance system, a method, and a computer readable medium for storing a computer program for responding to an emergency situation are disclosed. The real time emergency response surveillance system includes one or more surveillance stations communicatively coupled to an operations center. Each surveillance station includes a controller, a video camera, a communication module and a display screen. The surveillance station is placed in one of a surveillance mode and an emergency response mode. Real time video data is transmitted from the surveillance station to the operations center in both the surveillance mode and the emergency response mode. Real time video data is received from the operations center at the surveillance station in emergency response mode. The real time video data received at the surveillance station is displayed on a display screen in emergency response mode.
