Abstract: The subject matter discloses a method, comprising obtaining a current retention time of storage associated with a digital recorder; obtaining current bitrates of channels used to transmit video captured by edge devices communicating with the digital recorder. The method then determines change in compression rates to be allocated to at least a portion of the channels according to the current retention time and the current bitrates and transmits the change in compression rates to be allocated to the channels to edge devices communicating with the digital recorder. The method can be implemented in a system in which several digital recorders use the same storage.

Abstract: A system and method for virtual system management. A set of data received from a plurality of data sensors may be analyzed, each sensor monitoring performance at a different system component. Sub-optimal performance may be identified associated with at least one component based on data analyzed for that component's sensor. A cause of the sub-optimal performance may be determined using predefined relationships between different value combinations including scores for the set of received data and a plurality of causes. An indication of the determined cause may be sent, for example, to a management unit. A solution to improve the sub-optimal performance may be determined using predefined relationships between the plurality of causes of problems and a plurality of solutions to correct the problems.
