A computer-implemented method for establishing a secure connection between a lead device and a secondary device , the method comprising: - receiving, by one or more processors of the lead device , a request to establish the secure connection with the secondary device ; - determining, by the lead device , whether the secure connection is an initial connection with the secondary device , wherein the initial connection is a first connection between the lead device and the secondary device ; - in response to a determination that the secure connection is not an initial connection with the secondary device , authenticating, by the lead device , the secondary device using one or more credentials associated with the secondary device and stored by the lead device ; - in response to a determination that the secure connection is the initial connection with the secondary device : - requesting, by the lead device , additional credentials from the secondary device ; - receiving, by the lead device , additional credentials comprising the one or more credentials associated with the secondary device from the secondary device ; - storing, by the lead device, the one ore more credentials; - authenticating, by the lead device , the secondary device using the additional credentials from the secondary device ; and - in response to a successful authentication using the one or more credentials to establish the secure connection with the secondary device , wherein the secondary device includes a sensor and the lead device is a lead camera device. - receiving, by one or more processors of the lead device , a request to establish the secure connection with the secondary device ; - determining, by the lead device , whether the secure connection is an initial connection with the secondary device , wherein the initial connection is a first connection between the lead device and the secondary device ; - in response to a determination that the secure connection is not an initial connection with the secondary device , authenticating, by the lead device , the secondary device using one or more credentials associated with the secondary device and stored by the lead device ; - in response to a determination that the secure connection is the initial connection with the secondary device : - requesting, by the lead device , additional credentials from the secondary device ; - receiving, by the lead device , additional credentials comprising the one or more credentials associated with the secondary device from the secondary device ; - storing, by the lead device, the one ore more credentials; - authenticating, by the lead device , the secondary device using the additional credentials from the secondary device ; and - in response to a successful authentication using the one or more credentials to establish the secure connection with the secondary device , - requesting, by the lead device , additional credentials from the secondary device ; - receiving, by the lead device , additional credentials comprising the one or more credentials associated with the secondary device from the secondary device ; - storing, by the lead device, the one ore more credentials; - authenticating, by the lead device , the secondary device using the additional credentials from the secondary device ; and - in response to a successful authentication using the one or more credentials to establish the secure connection with the secondary device , <EOS>
