<p>One aspect of the present invention is directed to a system and method of providing secure access to remote sensor data via an encrypted virtual private network (316). The system (100) utilizes a scaleable architecture and includes a centralized sensor server (110) connected to a plurality of centers (130, 132, 134) having sensors (370, 371, 372) via an encrypted virtual private network. The centralized server also connects to a plurality of remote sensor monitors (140, 142, 144) via a virtual private network. The virtual private network may be implemented over a packet switched network (120) such as the Internet, while the remote sensor monitor utilizes a web browser (520, 522, 524). The system shares images (512) from a particular sensor to multiple users via the centralized server to conserve bandwidth and reduce system costs. The system utilizes various authentication and security features to protect the sensor data.</p> |
