1. A method for transmitting an encryption key from a camera to the mobile device of a user of the camera comprising:
integrating an encryption key into a security chip that is housed within a camera;
integrating a near filed communication (NFC) module into the camera, wherein the near field communication (NFC) module includes a near field communication (NFC) transceiver and memory;
receiving a request for an encryption key at the camera through an internet based communication from a user of the camera;
transmitting a copy of the encryption key from the security chip to the memory in the near field communication (NFC) module in response to the receiving of the request for the encryption key;
transmitting the encryption key by near field communication from the near field communication (NFC) transceiver of the near field communication (NFC) module to a mobile device of the user, when the mobile device of the user is brought into near field communication (NFC) range of the camera; and
deleting the encryption key from the memory of the near field communication (NFC) module of the camera when the encryption key is received by the mobile device.
