Abstract: There is provided a method for media retention in a surveillance system deployed by an organization at a location being surveilled. The method comprises obtaining media stream data generated by one or more media devices deployed at the location, assigning at least one risk score to the media stream data, determining, based on the at least one risk score, a retention policy to be applied to the media stream data, and causing the media stream data to be stored according to the retention policy.

Abstract: Methods and devices for combining a mask with a selectively progressing video stream may include receiving a selection of at least one mask with a mask zone that obscures at least a portion of the video stream. The methods and devices may include receiving a selection to emplace the at least one mask at a first location within the video stream. The methods and devices may include receiving a selection to enable a tracking icon to move the at least one mask to a second location within the video stream while the video stream progresses. The methods and devices may include generating a combined output of the video stream and the selective emplacement and movement of the at least one mask during the video stream progression.

Abstract: A graphical user interface to be displayed on a computing device associated with a video surveillance system is automatically configured to create links between cameras of the video surveillance system. An association between nearby cameras is obtained by identifying an object in a video feed of one of the cameras, and re-identifying the same object in another video feed of another one of the cameras. If the re-identification of the object takes place within a predetermined time period, it can be assumed that the object has moved from the field of view of the first camera into the field of view of the other camera. As a result, a user interface element resulting in a switch from the video feed of the first camera to the video feed of the other camera is configured to be superimposed on the video from the first camera.

Abstract: A method of requesting access through a door by a mobile computing device may involve: receiving a Uniform Resource Locator (URL); directing a web browser application of the mobile computing device to a webpage based on the received URL; receiving an access code from an access-control system, the access code associated with access rights of a user of the mobile computing device; and transmitting an access request to the access-control system, the access request comprising data representing at least an identifier of the door and the access code.

Abstract: A method of requesting access through a door may involve: causing a mobile computing device to receive an identifier of the door; and causing the mobile computing device to transmit an access request to an access-control system, the access request comprising data representing at least the identifier of the door and an access code. A method of controlling access through a door may involve: receiving an access request from a mobile computing device, the access request comprising data representing at least an identifier of the door and an access code; and in response to the request, allowing access through the door. Systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: Provided is novel technology for secure security data transmission and more particularly for registering network-enabled security devices such as IP cameras to a security server over a public network such as to a cloud-based security service. An enrolment server is provided that is logged into using a computing device to request and receive an activation code for the security device. The activation code is then provided to the security device, e.g. directly by the computing device. The Security device authenticates itself based on the activation code and in one example provides a public key that will be used to verify its registration. Data transmissions by the device are secured in part on the basis of its registration.
