Abstract
Described herein are techniques that may be used to facilitate interactions between a media collection device and a remote computing device via the use of a proxy device. Such techniques may comprise establishing a first communication session between a media collection device and a proxy device via a short-range communication channel, transmitting, by the media collection device to the proxy device, status information via the first communication session, at least a portion of the status information subsequently forwarded by the proxy device to a remote computing device, determining that the media collection device is to be activated, upon determining that the media collection device is to be activated, establishing a second communication session between the media collection device and the remote computing device via a long-range communication channel, and transmitting, by the media collection device to the computing device, media content via the second communication session.
