Systems and apparatus for sensing and video capture include at least one camera with an optical sensor that captures video image data of a first sampling rate. An auxiliary sensor captures auxiliary data at a second sample rate. A processor is communicatively connected to the optical sensor and auxiliary sensor. The processor transmits video image data captured at the first sample rate auxiliary sensor data captured at the second sampling rate across a data connection to a centralized computer that receives the video image data and the auxiliary sensor data and operate to present the video image data and the auxiliary sensor data on a graphical display.

Techniques to selectively capture media using a single user interface element are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a touch controller, a visual media capture component, and a storage component. The touch controller may be operative to receive a haptic engagement signal. The visual media capture component may be operative to be configured in a capture mode based on whether a haptic disengagement signal is received by the touch controller before expiration of a first timer, the capture mode one of a photo capture mode or video capture mode, the first timer started in response to receiving the haptic engagement signal, the first timer configured to expire after a first preset duration. The storage component may be operative to store visual media captured by the visual media capture component in the configured capture mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

An information processing apparatus including circuitry is provided. The circuitry is configured to transmit list information for display of a plurality of cameras on a display device, receive a selection of at least one camera from the plurality of cameras based on the transmitted list information, control transmission of image data generated by the selected at least one camera, and transmit correspondence relationship information for display of a correspondence relationship between the plurality of the cameras and a plurality of communication devices on the display device. The circuitry is configured to change the correspondence relationship between one of the plurality of the cameras and one of the plurality of communication devices. Further, the circuitry is configured to transmit list information indicating a plurality of cameras for display on a display device.

A communication apparatus includes a first communication unit for unencrypted communication compliant with a first standard for communication, and a second communication unit for encrypted communication compliant with a second standard for communication, In a case where connection information used for the second communication unit to perform encrypted communication with an external apparatus has been received from the external apparatus via the first communication unit, a control unit records the connection information on a recording medium. In a case where connection with the external apparatus has been established via the first communication unit, the control unit determines whether the connection information is currently recorded on the recording medium, and, in a case where it has been determined that the connection information is not currently recorded on the recording medium, the control unit causes a notification unit to issue a notification indicating that the connection information is not currently recorded.

The present invention provides a CCTV monitoring system for registering a camera and managing permission, and a control method of the system. In other words, according to the present invention, a manager having an installer terminal granted with temporal authority over the camera, can install the relevant camera, check whether the camera operates, and then, entrust/set authority over the camera to a terminal of an end-user through cooperation among the installer terminal, the terminal of the end-user, and a service server. Accordingly, convenience for a user can be improved and it is possible to more efficiently manage an installed camera.

The present invention provides a network camera having a plurality of digital output terminals for outputting an alarm, and a method of controlling the network camera. That is, the present invention includes a plurality of digital output terminals for transmitting image information obtained through a wireless communication network to a server and transmitting information about sensing a person and information about a problematic situation, respectively, using a 4-wire cable, so it is possible to check whether it is a normally-closed state or a normally-open state through the plurality of digital output terminals that are individually managed, respectively, and accordingly, it is possible to improve convenience in use.

According to an aspect of the disclosure, an information processing apparatus comprising a communication circuit and a control circuit is provided. The control circuit transmits reduced image data of captured image data, to a first external apparatus through the communication circuit; receives, from the first external apparatus, a result of evaluation processing applied to the reduced image data; on the basis of the result of the evaluation processing, determines whether to apply image processing to the captured image data corresponding to the reduced image data, by a second external apparatus; transmits the captured image data that is determined to be applied the image processing, to the second external apparatus through the communication circuit; and receives, from the second external apparatus, a result of the image processing applied to the captured image data.
