System and method for assigning cameras and codes to geographic locations and generating security alerts using mobile phones and other devices
First Claim
1. A system for generating security alerts for a facility from a remote device, comprising:
- a server having;
a CPU;
a first module operable to assign one or more codes to the facility, each code identifying a different location within the facility irrespective of the location of the remote device, the module further operable to associate one or more cameras in the facility with each code, and associate response guidelines with each code; and
a second module operable to receive the one or more codes from the remote device, notify a surveillance center of the location assigned to the one or more codes based on the response guidelines, stream video from the one or more cameras associated with the one or more codes to the surveillance center, and generate a security alert based on the video stream,wherein the remote device is configured for a user to enter one of the one or more codes to identify a location of the security alert in a location in the facility irrespective of the location of the remote device,wherein the remote device has a module enabling sending of the code, live video of a visible event and live audio, the live video being a video stream separate from the video streamed from the one or more cameras, andwherein the live video and the live audio being routed through the server and combined with video streamed from the one or more cameras to the surveillance center.

Abstract
A system and method for generating security alerts for a facility is presented. The system can comprise a server, cameras operable to stream video to the server or other storage location and to a surveillance center of the facility, input devices, a first module operable to assign one or more codes to the facility, associate one or more cameras with each code, and associate response guidelines with each code; and a second module operable to receive one code of the one or more codes from one of the one or more input devices, notify the facility assigned to the one code based on the response guidelines, stream video from the one or more cameras associated with the one code to the surveillance center of the facility, and generate the security alert based on the video stream. In one aspect, a user can send a video feed along with the code.
