Sharing video footage from audio/video recording and communication devices
Video footage captured by A/V recording and communication devices may be readily uploaded to the cloud and shared with a requesting party, such as a law enforcement agency. When a request is received from a requesting party for video footage, a set of videos meeting the criteria specified by the requesting party may be determined. Consent requests may then be sent to users associated with each of the A/V recording and communication devices that recorded the videos meeting the criteria specified by the requesting party. When user consents to share the videos are received, the video footage may be provided to the requesting party.
1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:

sending the image data to a first user device associated with the electronic device;
based at least in part on the sending of the image data, receiving, from the first user device, consent to share the image data;
receiving, from a second user device, a request that indicates at least an area and a time window;
determining, based at least in part on the location data, that a location associated with the electronic device is located within the area;
determining that the image data was generated during the time window;
determining that the consent has been received; and
sending, to the second user device, the image data.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the request indicates a distance around an additional location associated with the second user device, the area corresponding to the distance around the additional location.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the request indicates the area on a map.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the time window includes a start time and an end time.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the end time includes a future time.
6. A method comprising:
receiving image data generated by an electronic device;
sending the image data to a first user device associated with the electronic device;
based at least in part on the sending the of image data, receiving, from the first user device, consent to share the image data;
receiving, from a second user device, a first indication of an area around a first location associated with the second user device;
receiving, from the second user device, a second indication of a time window;
determining that a second location associated with the electronic device is located within the area;
determining that the image data was generated during the time window;
determining that the consent has been received; and
sending, to the second user device, information associated with the image data.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the receiving of the first indication comprises receiving, from the second user device, the first indication of the area on a map.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the receiving of the second indication comprises receiving, from the second user device, the second indication of the time window that includes a start time and an end time.
9. The system of claim 1 , the one or more computer-readable media storing further instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform further operations comprising:
sending, to the second user device, information associated with the image data; and
receiving, from the second user device, an additional request for the image data,
wherein the sending of the image data is based at least in part on the receiving of the additional request.
10. The system of claim 1 , the one or more computer-readable media storing further instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform further operations comprising:
storing first data representing a time that the electronic device generated the image data,
wherein the determining that the image data was generated during the time window comprises determining, using the first data, that the time is within the time window.
11. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein:
the area is a first area;
the consent indicates a second area associated with sharing the image data;
the location is a first location;
the second user device is associated with a second location; and
the one or more computer-readable media store further instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform further operations comprising determining that the second location is located within the second area.
12. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
receiving, from the second user device, a request for the image data; and
based at least in part on the receiving of the request, sending the image data to the second user device.
13. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
storing first data representing a time that the electronic device generated the image data,
wherein the determining that the image data was generated during the time window comprises determining, using the first data, that the time is within the time window.
14. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
storing location data associated with the electronic device,
wherein the determining that the second location associated with the electronic device is located within the area is based at least in part on the location data.
15. The method of claim 6 , wherein the area is a first area and the consent indicates a second area associated with sharing the image data, and wherein the method further comprises
determining that the first location is located within the second area.
16. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a first user device, consent associated with an electronic device;
storing data that associates the consent with the electronic device;
receiving image data generated by the electronic device;
receiving, from a second user device, a first indication of an area;
determining that a location associated with the electronic device is located within the area;
receiving, from the second user device, a second indication of a time window;
determining that the electronic device generated the image data during the time window;
determining that the consent has been received for the electronic device; and
sending, to the second user device, the image data.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the receiving of the first indication of the area and the receiving of the second indication of the time window comprises receiving, a request from the second user device, the request indicating the area and the time window.
18. The system of claim 16 , the one or more computer-readable media storing further instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform further operations comprising:
based at least in part on the determining that the consent has been received, sending, to the second user device, information associated with the image data; and
receiving, from the second user device, a request for the image data,
wherein the sending of the image data to the second user device is based at least in part on the receiving of the request.
19. The system of claim 1 , the one or more computer-readable media storing further instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform further operations comprising storing first data that associates the consent with the image data.
20. The system of claim 16 , the one or more computer-readable media storing further instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform further operations comprising:
storing location data associated with the electronic device,
wherein the determining that the location associated with the electronic device is located within the area is based at least in part on the location data.
