Wireless video camera and connection methods including multiple video or audio streams
First Claim
1. A method of sharing video data between a camera, a host device and a remote service, comprising:
- establishing a first wireless connection between the camera and the host device;
establishing a second connection between the host device and the remote service;
sending identification information related to the camera from the host device to the remote service;
receiving a video stream at the host device from the remote service based on the identification information; and
establishing a plurality of wireless connections between the host device and a plurality of devices including the camera,wherein establishing the plurality of wireless connections includes a protocol negotiation based on one or more of an anticipated power requirements analysis for the plurality of devices, an anticipated usage requirements analysis for the plurality of devices, and anticipated or mandated security requirements associated with the plurality of devices, andwherein the video stream is communicated from the camera to the remote service without being processed by the host device, and the video stream is communicated from the remote service to the host device without further processing by the camera.

Abstract
Systems and methods for streaming video and/or audio from wireless cameras are provided. Methods may include, at a network camera, receiving an instruction to begin video capture from a first network node, including information identifying a second network node. A first video stream may be sent from the network camera to the first network node, and a second video stream may be simultaneously sent to the second network node. The first and second video streams may be based on common video capture data, and may be sent at different bitrates, different resolutions, different frame-rates, and/or different formats. A parameter of the second video stream may be adjusted in response to performance data received from the second network node or another network node.
