Abstract
To allow secure communications between a video capturing device and mobile devices, an association process includes providing a unique pattern, such as a QR code, to the mobile device in proximity to the video capturing device. The unique pattern is used by the mobile device to request pairing with the client device, either directly or via a cloud-based system. The QR code includes an identifier or 'shared secret' that allows the client device to verify the pairing request originates from the mobile device in close proximity. The association process may also involve cryptographic keys to further secure communications and may also involve a process to retrieve a mobile app without additional user intervention. Once the devices are associated, they can communicate directly using wireless communications, such as cellular or WiFi, and transfer video data and other data automatically.
