Patent number: 11950017Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for redundantly storing and authenticating event related video data from one or more cameras using a video recording manager device. Additional copies of event related video data are persisted across various storage devices including any combination of internal camera storage, remote storage, and one or more storage mediums associated with the video recording manager device. The stored video data is augmented with authentication metadata to preserve the authenticity such that the video data is suitable as evidence.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Digital Ally, Inc.Inventors: Peng Han, James W. Farnham, IV, Joshua L. Turner, Douglas C. Fletcher

Publication number: 20230394943Abstract: A video collection system collects and sends metadata related to video data such that recording may be triggered and tagged. The video collection system utilizes a mobile broadband network (such as a cellular network) to send metadata, receive triggers, and perform other functions while the video collection system is in the field. The video collection system broadly comprises a plurality of video cameras and a video collection manager. The video cameras each include a mobile broadband modem or other wireless communication element for sending metadata messages. In some embodiments the mobile broadband modem may also send still images, audio data, and video data.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Steven L. Phillips, James W. Farnham, IV

Publication number: 20220114894Abstract: A system for tracking a fleet of vehicles and analyzing a driver associated with the fleet of vehicles. The system includes a monitoring engine for receiving information from a vehicle-tracking device associated with a vehicle of the fleet. A mapping engine displays, to a user, an icon indicative of an incident on a map. A video repository engine receives video data from a video camera associated with the vehicle and associates an incident video with the icon. A driver analysis engine obtains the incident information associated with a plurality of drivers and analyzes the incident information associated with the driver to generate a driver profile. The driver analysis engine compares the driver with corresponding drivers in the same and other fleets.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2021Publication date: April 14, 2022Inventors: James W.
