Event detection, event notification, data retrieval, and associated devices, systems, and methods
Methods and systems provided. A system may include a mobile surveillance unit positioned within an environment and including one or more sensors configured to detect one or more events occurring within or near the environment. The system may also include an application program configured to: convey data related to a detected event of the one or more events to an electronic device remote from the mobile surveillance unit; and in response to input associated with the detected event, convey, from the mobile surveillance unit, image data, video data, audio data, or any combination thereof, previously captured at the mobile surveillance unit and associated with the detected event.
1 . A system, comprising:
an application program configured to:
cause, responsive to an event detected by a first device, text data including at least one of a time of the event, a location of the event, or an identification of a detected object of the event to be conveyed from the first device to at least one second device remote from the first device without other data including image data, video data, audio data, or any combination thereof, associated with the event being conveyed to the at least one second device with the text data; and
cause, in response to user input associated with the previously conveyed text data, at least some of the other data to be conveyed over a metered connection from the first device to at least one of the at least one second device or a third device.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the text data comprises an alert, a text message, an email, meta data, or any combination thereof.
3 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising the first device, the first device comprising a mobile surveillance unit comprising at least one storage device coupled to one or more sensors.
4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the one or more sensors comprise one or more cameras.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second device comprises at least one user device, and the third device comprises a server, wherein the application program is further configured to cause at least one image captured via one or more cameras of the first device to be conveyed to the third device.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second device comprises at least one user device, and the third device comprises a server, wherein the application program is further configured to cause images captured via one or more cameras of the first device to be periodically conveyed to the third device.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the text data further includes at least one of a description of the detected event or an identification of the first device.
8 . A method, comprising:
conveying, from a mobile surveillance unit and responsive to detection of an event, text data including at least one of a time of the event, a location of the event, or an identification of a detected object of the event to an electronic device remote from the mobile surveillance unit without conveying other data including image data, video data, audio data, or any combination thereof, associated with the event with the text data; and
conveying, from the mobile surveillance unit over a metered connection, at least some of the other data in response to a request associated with the previously conveyed text data.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein conveying the text data comprises conveying one or more of an alert, a text message, an email, or meta data.
10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein:
conveying the text data comprises conveying one or more of an alert or a text message associated with the event.
11 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising detecting the event via one or more cameras of the mobile surveillance unit.
12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein conveying the at least some of the other data comprises conveying the image data, the video data, the audio data, or the combination thereof to a cloud server, the electronic device, or both.
13 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising storing the image data, the video data, the audio data, or the combination thereof at the mobile surveillance unit.
14 . A non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions thereon that, when executed by a processor causes the processor to perform acts comprising:
cause text data including at least one of a time of the event, a location of the event, or an identification of a detected object of an event to be conveyed to a remote device responsive to the event being sensed without other data including image data, video data, audio data, or any combination thereof, associated with the event being conveyed to the remote device with the text data;
receive, from the remote device, input associated with the conveyed text data; and
in response to receipt of the input, convey, to a server, the remote device, or both, at least some of the other data via a metered connection.
15 . The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 14 , the acts further comprising: store the at least some of the other data at a mobile surveillance unit prior to the at least some of the other data being conveyed to the server, the remote device, or both.
16 . The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 14 , wherein the text data comprises one or more of an alert, a text message, an email, or meta data.
17 . The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 14 , wherein the text data is conveyed from a mobile surveillance unit to the remote device.
18 . The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 17 , wherein the event is sensed via one or more sensors of the mobile surveillance unit.
19 . The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 14 , wherein the remote device comprises a user device.
20 . The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 14 , the acts further comprising: convey, prior to receipt of the input, an image related to the event to the remote device.
