Surveillance and Security Communications Platform

A surveillance and security communications platform for detecting and responding to potential emergencies is provided. The platform may be utilized to automatically open communications channels via multiple media streams based on predefined settings for detecting a potential emergency situation. The platform may further be utilized to automatically send video and audio streams to an emergency responder upon detecting the potential emergency situation. The platform may further be utilized to detect the potential emergency situation while it is occurring and automatically initiate escalated emergency notifications to multiple parties. The platform may further be utilized to receive computing device sensor data for detecting the potential emergency for a potential victim in a business or home setting and immediately send an emergency notification, which may include a predefined text-to-speech announcement, to emergency responders in order to mitigate the potential emergency.
