1. A server comprising:
a processing system including at least one processor; and
memory storing instructions for execution by the processor,
wherein the processing system is configured to:
identify an event associated with a location;
identify a plurality of electronic devices, each of the plurality of electronic device including at least one sensor configured to collect video, audio and/or imagery data, and being configured to initiate collection of data based on a command from a user of at least one of the plurality of the electronic devices;
when a condition is met in accordance with a rule established on the server, issue a command to one or more of the plurality of electronic devices to turn on a sensor of the one or more of the plurality of electronic devices and enable the one or more of the plurality of electronic devices to transmit the video, audio and/or imagery data collected at the location; and
receive the video, audio and/or imagery data collected by the sensors of the one or more of the plurality of electronic devices via secure data transmission mechanisms respectively.
