First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- establishing a first connection between a mobile device and a camera located in a monitored property associated with a user of the mobile device, the mobile device being located outside of the monitored property;
receiving, over the first connection and at the mobile device, video captured by the camera located in the monitored property associated with the user of the mobile device;
detecting that the received video has not been acknowledged at the mobile device within a first period of time from receipt;
providing an alert indicating that the received video will be automatically shared in a second period of time;
monitoring for a response to the provided alert;
based on the monitoring, determining that no response to the provided alert has been received within the second period of time;
automatically, without user input, sharing the received video based on the determination that no response to the provided alert has been received within the second period of time by;
determining, at the mobile device, to establish a second connection with a second device that enables sharing of the received video with the second device;
in response to the determination to establish the second connection with the second device that enables sharing of the received video with the second device, establishing the second connection between the mobile device and the second device; and

Abstract
Video monitoring and alarm verification technology, in which a first connection is established between a first device and a camera located in a monitored property associated with a user of the first device and image data captured by the camera is received over the first connection and at the first device. A determination is made to establish a second connection with a second device that enables sharing of the received image data with the second device and, in response to the determination, the second connection is established between the first device and the second device. The received image data is shared with the second device over the second connection and the second device is restricted from directly accessing image data captured by the camera located in the monitored property.

18. A monitoring system comprising:
-
a camera located in a monitored property associated with a user; and a mobile device of the user that includes at least one processor configured to perform operations comprising; establishing a first connection between the mobile device and the camera located in a monitored property associated with a user of the mobile device, the mobile device being located outside of the monitored property; receiving, over the first connection and at the mobile device, video captured by the camera located in the monitored property associated with the user of the mobile device; detecting that the received video has not been acknowledged at the mobile device within a first period of time from receipt; providing an alert indicating that the received video will be automatically shared in a second period of time; monitoring for a response to the provided alert; based on the monitoring, determining that no response to the provided alert has been received within the second period of time; automatically, without user input, sharing the received video based on the determination that no response to the provided alert has been received within the second period of time by; determining, at the mobile device, to establish a second connection with a second device that enables sharing of the received video with the second device; in response to the determination to establish the second connection with the second device that enables sharing of the received video with the second device, establishing the second connection between the mobile device and the second device; and sharing, by the mobile device over the second connection, the received video with the second device.
