  • Patent number: 11405579
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods related to Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS) are described. For example, a removable storage device, such as a secure digital (SD) memory card or a micro SD card, can be configured to run a virtual camera agent. When the removable storage device is inserted into a digital camera to provide a storage capacity for the digital camera, the agent can convert the video captured by the digital camera into video captured by a virtual camera. The virtual camera can be configured to be in compliance with the camera requirements of a VSaaS platform. Thus, a digital camera not in compliance with the platform can still be used with the platform through the deployment of the virtual camera that is enabled by the removable storage device.
