Abstract: A computer system for video management may provide a GUI that may enable repeating the steps of user thumbnail selection, representative subdivision of a recorded video to be viewed based on the thumbnail selected, and display of representative thumbnails in a GUI. The representative thumbnails may be selected based on a parameter such as random selection or images that may be evenly distributed from within the recorded video. After the representative subdivision of a recorded video to be viewed reaches a lower limit, the computer system for video management may display a shortened portion of video in the GUI to be viewed.

Abstract: A method for searching a digital video recording is disclosed. The method includes receiving a video portion count associated with the digital video recording. The method further includes displaying in a graphical user interface (GUI) a number of sequential digital video images from the digital video recording in response to the video portion count to obtain displayed digital video images. The number of sequential digital video images is associated with a number of sequential portions of the digital video recording.

Abstract: A computer system comprising at least one computer having non-transitory memory configured to store machine instructions when executed by the computer implement perform web service proxy protocol functions. The functions include establishing an initial network connection between a gateway device including a client application and receiving a first tunnel request from a web service client container. Another function is requesting a tunnel through a second tunnel request from the through the gateway device. A further function includes receiving an offer of the tunnel from and through the gateway device through a second network connection. The function also includes offering the tunnel to the web service client container from and through the gateway device, opening a listening port at the web service client container to transmit traffic over the tunnel offered through the second network connection, and maintaining the initial network connection for application notifications to the web server client container.

Abstract: A product comprising a network management computer system comprising at least one computer having non-transitory memory configured to store machine instructions that are to be executed by the at least one computer. The machine instructions when executed by the computer implement the following web service client functions: receiving a data request at a cloud instance from a data recorder container residing on the cloud instance; upon receiving the data request, requesting a tunnel from a web service proxy; receiving an offer of the tunnel from the web service proxy; and opening a listening port to transmit traffic between a network device at a client site and the data recorder container using an Internet connection without a firewall.

Abstract: A computer system for digital video alarm guard tour monitoring. The computer system includes a computer having non-transitory memory for storing machine instructions that are to be executed by the computer. The machine instructions when executed by the computer implement the following functions: receiving one or more guard tour parameters; identifying a plurality of digital frames in response to the one or more guard tour parameters; motion analyzing the plurality of digital frames to detect motion between the plurality of digital frames; object analyzing the plurality of digital frames to detect an object and an object class of the object in response to detecting the motion; and transmitting a guard tour event and the plurality of digital frames to an alarm server in response to determining the object class is associated with an alarm analytics tag.

Abstract: A number of variations may include providing a computer system for networked video management, the computer system may include at least one computer having non-transitory memory for storing machine instructions that are to be executed by the computer, the machine instructions when executed by the computer implement the following web service proxy protocol: opening at least one first network connection from at least one video gateway device to at least one web service proxy application and opening at least one second network connection from the at least one video gateway device to at least one network camera on a server network; performing a scan for network cameras on the server network via the at least one gateway device and transmitting the results of the scan to the web service proxy application; and establishing at least one tunnel between the at least one network camera and the web service proxy application.
