Abstract

Systems, methods, and media for providing video of a burial memorial are provided. In accordance with some implementations of the disclosed subject matter, systems for providing video of a burial memorial are provided, the systems comprising: a burial memorial; a camera mounted to the burial memorial and directed toward the burial memorial, wherein the camera is configured to capture images of the burial memorial and generate the video including the images; a transceiver that is coupled to the camera, that receives the video, that transmits the video to a user device, and that receives audio from the user device; and an audio output device that receives the audio from the user device and that plays the audio at the burial memorial.

Claims

1. A system for providing video of a physical burial memorial structure comprising:

a physical burial memorial structure with a QR code displayed thereon;

a camera mounted to the physical burial memorial structure and directed toward the physical burial memorial structure, wherein the camera is configured to capture images of the physical burial memorial structure and generate the video including the images, and wherein the camera turns on by a local timer only at predetermined time intervals during the day;

a transceiver that is coupled to the camera, that receives the video, that transmits the video to the remote user device, and that receives audio from the remote user device;

an audio output device that is coupled to the camera using a wireless communication connection and that receives the audio from the remote user device and that plays the audio at the physical burial memorial structure; and

a battery and at least one solar panel for providing power to the camera, the transmitter, and the audio output device.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a light that is attached to the physical burial memorial structure.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising a microphone for a capturing audio from the physical burial memorial structure.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the physical burial memorial structure is at least one of a grave marker, a grave stone, an urn, and a mausoleum.

5. A method for providing video of a physical burial memorial structure comprising:

turning on a camera directed toward the physical burial memorial structure with a QR code displayed thereon by a local timer at predetermined time intervals during the day;

turning off the camera by a local timer at predetermined time intervals during the day;

capturing images of the physical burial memorial structure using the camera and generating the video including the images;

receiving the video, transmitting the video to the remote user device, and receiving audio from the remote user device;

receiving the audio and playing the audio at the physical burial memorial structure using an audio output device that is coupled to the camera using a wireless communication connection; and

providing power to the camera, a transmitter, and the audio output device using a battery and at least one solar panel.

6. The method of claim 5, illuminating a light attached to the physical burial memorial structure.

7. The method of claim 5, further comprising capturing audio from the physical burial memorial structure.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for presenting video of a physical burial memorial structure, the method comprising:

turning on a camera directed toward the physical burial memorial structure with a QR code displayed thereon based on a local timer at predetermined time intervals during the day;

turning off the camera based on a local timer at predetermined time intervals during the day;

receiving video from a camera which captures images of the physical burial memorial structure and generates the video including the images;

transmitting the video to the remote user device using a transmitter, and receiving audio from the remote user device; and

receiving the audio and causing the audio to be played at the physical burial memorial structure using an audio output device that is coupled to the camera using a wireless communication connection,

wherein the camera, the transmitter, and the audio output device are powered using a battery and at least one solar panel.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8, the method further comprising illuminating a light attached to the physical burial memorial structure.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8, the method further comprising capturing audio from the physical burial memorial structure.
