Patent number: 8878931Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for managing video data. In overview, various embodiments provide software, hardware and methodologies associated with the management of video data. In overview, a distributed DVM system includes a plurality of discrete DVM systems, which may be geographically or notionally distributed. Each discrete DVM system includes a respective central DVM database server thereby to provide autonomy to the discrete system. This server supports one or more camera servers, these camera servers in turn each being configured to make available live video data from one or more cameras. Each system additionally includes one or more clients, which provide a user interface for displaying video data (such as video data from one of the cameras). The discrete DVM systems are primarily linked by way of a centralized database server/database server communications interface.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2010Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Amy Masters, Ajit Bhandari, Dae-Soon Kwon, Sally-Anne Palmer
