Cloud-based surveillance with intelligent tamper protection
First Claim
1. A security system comprising:
- a central communication unit communicatively connected over a network to a cloud storage in a remote location from the central communication unit, wherein the communicative connection is by way of a first transmission channel and a second transmission channel, wherein the second transmission channel is redundant with the first transmission channel; and
a first surveillance device configured to record first surveillance data on the premises of the central communication unit, and being communicatively connected to the central communication unit by way of a third transmission channel and a fourth transmission channel, wherein the fourth transmission channel is redundant with the third transmission channel;
wherein the first surveillance device is configured to transmit the first surveillance data to the central communication unit, and wherein the central communication unit is configured to transmit the first surveillance data to the cloud storage;
wherein the central communication unit further comprises a buffering unit configured to perform preparations on the first surveillance data prior to the central communication unit transmitting the first surveillance data to the cloud storage; and
wherein the preparations performed by the buffering unit are dependent on a current state of the security system.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a security system includes a central communication unit and a first surveillance device. The central communication unit is communicatively connected over a network to cloud storage, by way of a first transmission channel and a second transmission channel. The second transmission channel is redundant with the first transmission channel. The first surveillance device configured to record first surveillance data, and is communicatively connected to the central communication unit by way of a third transmission channel and a fourth transmission channel. The fourth transmission channel is redundant with the third transmission channel. The first surveillance device is configured to transmit the first surveillance data to the central communication unit, and the central communication unit is configured to transmit the first surveillance data to the cloud storage.

10. A computer program product for implementing a security system, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a signal, the program instructions readable by a processing circuit to cause the processing circuit to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving, at a central communication unit from a first surveillance device, a recording of first surveillance data captured by the first surveillance device, wherein the first surveillance data is received by way of at least one of a first transmission channel and a second transmission channel between the first surveillance device and the central communication unit, wherein the second transmission channel is redundant with the first transmission channel; transmitting the first surveillance data, from the central communication unit to a cloud storage, wherein the first surveillance data is transmitted by way of at least one of a third transmission channel and a fourth transmission channel between the first surveillance device and the central communication unit, wherein the fourth transmission channel is redundant with the third transmission channel; performing buffering preparations on the first surveillance data prior to the central communication unit transmitting the first surveillance data to the cloud storage, wherein the buffering preparations performed are dependent on a current state of the security system. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
