Within the context of this document terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are also used euphemistically to mean “communicatively coupled with” over a network, where two or more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the network, possibly via one or more intermediary device.
[0079] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.

We Claims:

1. An image capturing security system comprising:
one or more processors operatively coupled to a memory storing set of instructions, wherein upon execution of the set of instructions the one or more processors are configured to:
receive a set of inputs from one or more computing devices, wherein the one or more computing devices are communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, and configured with an image sensor, wherein the one or more computing device is configured to receive a set of inputs from a user;
transmit recording attributes to the one or more computing devices, wherein the recording attributes are transmitted in response to the received set of inputs from the user, wherein the set of inputs pertain to user credentials, wherein the recording attributes facilitates in registering the user credentials in a database of the processor;
receive an authentication code and a digital security key from the one or more computing devices in response to the transmitted recording attributes, and
verify the authentication code and the digital security key with pre-stored recording attributes residing in the database, and correspondingly transmit a set of activation signals upon positive verification, and a set of blocking signals upon negative verification of the authentication code and the digital security key, wherein the set of activation signals and the set of blocking signals are transmitted to the one or more computing devices, and wherein the set of activation signals facilitate in activating the image sensor and the set of blocking signals facilitates in deactivating and disabling the image sensor associated with the one or more computing devices of an authenticated user for a pre-determined time.
2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user credentials include user name, password, electronic mail address, user information, email id, and phone number.
3. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the recording attributes include email verification code, personal identification number, and alphanumeric key.
4. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the digital security key pertains to any or a combination of personal identification number (PIN) alphanumeric key, and wherein the authentication code pertains to one time password.
5. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein positive verification of the authentication code and the digital security key pertains to matching of the PIN and the one time password with the pre-stored recording attributes, wherein the PIN is entered by the authenticated user and the one time password is generated in response to the entered PIN by the one or more processors.
6. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein a negative verification of the authentication code and the digital security key pertains to unmatched authenticated code and the digital security key with the pre-stored recording attributes.
7. The system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the one or more processors are configured to authenticate the PIN entered by the authenticated user for a pre-determined number of times.
8. The system as claimed in claim 8, wherein after invalidation of the PIN entered by the authenticated user for the pre-defined number of times, the one or more processors are configured to transmit a set of alert signals to at least one of the one or more computing devices and facilitates in resetting the user credentials and recording attributes.
9. An image capturing security method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, a set of inputs from one or more computing devices, wherein the one or more processors are communicatively coupled to the one or more computing devices, and configured with an image sensor, wherein the one or more computing device is configured to receive a set of inputs from a user;
transmitting, by the one or more processors, recording attributes, wherein the recording attributes are transmitted to the one or more computing devices in response to the received set of inputs from the user, wherein the set of inputs pertain to user credentials, wherein the recording attributes facilitates in registering the user credentials in a database of the one or more processors;
receiving, by the one or more processors, an authentication code and a digital security key from the one or more computing devices in response to the transmitted recording attributes, and
verifying, by the one or more processors, the authentication code and the digital security key with pre-stored recording attributes residing in the database,
transmitting, by the one or more processors , a set of activation signals upon positive verification, and a set of blocking signals upon negative verification of the authentication code and the digital security key, wherein the set of activation signals and the set of blocking signals are transmitted to the one or more computing devices, and wherein the set of activation signals facilitate in activating the image sensor and the set of blocking signals facilitates in deactivating and disabling the image sensor associated with the one or more computing devices of an authenticated user for a pre-determined time.
