Controlling data routing among networks

摘要

An integrated security system integrates broadband and mobile access and control with conventional security systems and premise devices to provide a tri-mode security network having remote connectivity and access. The integrated security system delivers remote premise monitoring and control functionality to conventional monitored premise protection and complements existing premise protection equipment. The integrated security system integrates into the premise network and couples wirelessly with the conventional security panel, enabling broadband access to premise security systems. Automation devices can be added, enabling users to remotely see live video or pictures and control home devices via a personal web portal or other client device. Camera management enables automatic configuration and management of cameras in the premise network. The camera management extends to remote control and monitoring from outside the firewall of the premise network to include routing of images or video from a streaming source device to a requesting client device.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a gateway located at a first location, the gateway comprising a processor coupled to a memory; a plurality of camera devices installed at the first location and coupled to the gateway via a secure network, wherein applications running on a processor of the gateway establish the secure network at the first location among the plurality of camera devices, wherein the gateway separately controls communications between the gateway and each camera device over the secure network, the establishing comprising provisioning at least one of identifiers and passwords to the plurality of camera devices; a firewall coupled between the gateway and a wide area network (WAN); a server coupled to the gateway via the WAN, the server located at a second location; the gateway and the server communicating to control routing of a video stream from at least one camera device of the plurality of camera devices to a client device in response to a request for live video received from the client device, wherein the routing uses a network protocol selected from a plurality of network protocols in response to capabilities of the firewall, wherein the client device is remote to the first location and the second location and is outside the secure network.
