  • Publication number: 20230224513
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device having a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations including receiving encrypted hypertext transport protocol (HTTPS) traffic including media content; separating the HTTPS traffic into audio segments and video segments; calculating a size for each audio segment in the HTTPS traffic; maintaining a sliding window of a plurality of sizes of consecutive audio segments to form a fingerprint; and identifying the media content by matching the fingerprint with a reference in a catalog. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9300923
    Abstract: A method of improving video performance in video surveillance system having a wireless encoder connected to a video surveillance network by a wireless access point device comprises the steps of allocating channel bandwidth to the wireless encoder from the wireless access point device, transmitting packets of video data from the wireless encoder to the wireless access point device, transmitting signals from the wireless access point device to the wireless encoder, monitoring the strength of the signals received by the wireless access point device, the strength of the signals received by the wireless encoder, and the number of lost packets of video data transmitted from the wireless encoder to the wireless access point device, sending a request from the wireless encoder to the wireless access point device to change the bit transmission rate of the wireless encoder if the strength of the signals received by the wireless access point device is less than a first threshold, if the strength of the signals received b
