Video in support of emergency services call location data
A technological solution herein enables the supply of surveillance video corresponding to an enhanced geospatial location of an emergency service call request corresponding with the live call. Geofenced areas are established at sites corresponding to a camera view of the remotely accessible surveillance video at the site. The technological solution makes available the accessible surveillance video for sites, which is maintained in a database that can be accessed to provide enhanced location data for an emergency call as it happens. The location and video are provided to first responders or other emergency services providers at the time of the call requesting emergency services. The system and method include access to the surveillance video whenever the location of the emergency call request overlaps with a geofenced area maintained by the system and method, thereby providing first responders with additional valuable information as to what is occurring at the site.
1 . A system for providing video in support of emergency call location data, the system comprising:

providing an interactive map for the location site;
receiving placement of one or more selectable icons on the interactive map corresponding to a remotely accessible surveillance video; and
establishing a geofenced area corresponding to a camera view for each of the remotely accessible surveillance videos on the interactive map;
receive, from an emergency call routing service, a request for geospatial physical location data for an emergency caller that called the emergency call routing service; and
when the geospatial physical location of the emergency caller positionally overlaps the one or more established geofenced areas, provide access to the surveillance video and output the geospatial physical location of the caller corresponding with the geofenced area to the emergency call routing service comprising providing the interactive map for the location site including the geospatial location of the caller and selectable icons corresponding to a remotely accessible surveillance video.

10 . A system for providing video in support of emergency call location data, the system comprising:
an emergency call routing service configured to receive, process, and route emergency call; and
an enhanced geospatial physical location service provider in communication with the emergency call routing service; the enhanced location service provided configured to:
establish one or more geofenced areas associated with one or more geospatial physical location sites having remotely accessible surveillance video where a geofenced area corresponds to a camera view of the remotely accessible surveillance video, wherein establishing one or more geofenced areas having remotely accessible surveillance video at a location site comprises:
providing an interactive map for the location site;
receiving placement of one or more selectable icons on the interactive map corresponding to a remotely accessible surveillance video; and
establishing a geofenced area corresponding to a camera view for each of the remotely accessible surveillance videos on the interactive map;
receive, from an emergency call routing service, a request for geospatial physical location data for an emergency caller that called the emergency call routing service; and
when the geospatial physical location of the emergency caller positionally overlaps the one or more established geofenced areas, provide access to the surveillance video and output the geospatial physical location of the caller corresponding with the geofenced area to the emergency call routing service comprising providing the interactive map for the location site including the geospatial location of the caller and selectable icons corresponding to a remotely accessible surveillance video.
11 . A method for providing video in support of emergency call location data, the method comprising:
establishing one or more geofenced areas associated with one or more location sites having remotely accessible surveillance video where a geofenced area corresponds to a camera view of the remotely accessible surveillance video, wherein establishing one or more geofenced areas having remotely accessible surveillance video at a location site comprises:
providing an interactive map for the location site;
receiving placement of one or more selectable icons on the interactive map corresponding to a remotely accessible surveillance video; and
establishing a geofenced area corresponding to a camera view for each of the remotely accessible surveillance videos on the interactive map;
receiving, from an emergency call routing service, a request for geospatial physical location data for an emergency caller that called the emergency call routing service; and
when the geospatial physical location of the emergency caller positionally overlaps the one or more established geofenced areas, providing, access to the surveillance video and outputting the geospatial location of the caller corresponding with the geofenced area to the emergency call routing service comprising providing the interactive map for the location site including the geospatial location of the caller and selectable icons corresponding to a remotely accessible surveillance video.
