Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a requested video frame to a device. A group of pictures (GOP) for an encoded video stream captured by a camera can be obtained by a video recorder, where the GOP includes a key frame and, for each frame of multiple frames following the key frame, a delta frame that describes a delta from a previous frame or from a next frame to render the frame. The video recorder can generate, for at least one frame in the multiple frames, a new key frame corresponding to the at least one frame by obtaining the key frame and applying, to the key frame, a portion of the delta frames between the key frame and the at least one frame. The video recorder can provide the new key frame to the device.
