Abstract: A private video surveillance service shares an image stream through an asset lock with government agencies in the event of emergency. Nominated agencies establish access credentials at the surveillance service data center. A camera is shared by a facility administrator's selection of permissions on each camera via privileged web-browser or mobile device. A government agency receives an electronic notification from the administrator to operate an agency dedicated application programming interface. A notification may be customized for each responding agency and each event by dynamically generating a transient link to a secure webserver which expires to limit exposure to ranges of date-time. Video servers remain controlled by the facility administrator.

Abstract: A system transforms video frames into event metadata reports on object recognition and occupancy patterns and trends. Each camera distinguishes foreground content and uploads meta data and changes. Occupancy within bounding boxes, and object pre-cognition are transformed to non-image event data sets. Objects and persons of interest are tagged for optical tracking and correlation. Cloud analytics estimate probabilities of occupancy and change. Periodic capture is augmented by expectation of peaks and valleys. Imagery and event meta data across multiple cameras are combined for object recognition. The cloud reports and predicts regions of interest due metrics of occupancy. Each edge device is trained on the local topology of other devices and actuators through which objects may pass before and after entering its region of interest. Edge devices collectively initiate physical access actuator controls, predict events for other edge devices, and transmit alerts when low probability events occur.

Abstract: A method enables video surveillance service subscribers to share image streams with individual first responder agencies in the event of emergency. A customer administrator selects permissions on each camera via privileged web-browser or mobile device. Permissions enable selection by static meta data such as type, audio, location, motion, recognition, spectrum, and epoch. Setting ranges of time controls access to video streams of present and past epochs. Under control by a customer administrator, a virtual machine dedicated to each responding agency instantiates a video server. A camera is shared by a customer administrator's selection of permissions on each camera via privileged web-browser or mobile device. Video streams of present and past epochs are controlled by ranges of time. A notification is customized for each responding agency and each event by dynamically generating a link to a secure webserver which records geo-location or network identifiers for validation.

Abstract: A high definition surveillance video storage optimization system executes purging directives according to policy and retention meta data. Segments of video are purged from storage when thresholds of retention metrics are applied and when policy permits. Retention metrics are determined from acoustic sound energy, radiation energy, access control events, and movement. Policies reflect calendars and elapsed time, percentage of available storage, statutory and judicial mandates, and utility of the stored segments. Extrinsic sensor data and operations are recorded into non-transitory retention meta data stores. Metrics are transformed into retention flags at either time of recordation or time of purgation. Security file storage includes metadata about the environment acquired by sensors include doors, audio noise, object identification and tracking and inputs which influence retention or purging. A circuit filters for motion and stores metadata per segment.

Abstract: An apparatus provides a quick view of security events by transformation of surveillance video streams stored over many hours. Images captured at one or more video surveillance cameras are transformed into a summary of activities by triggering on contents within the views. Selected key images are bookended by anticipatory or consequential frames for better comprehension. Variable masking scopes the date-times of interest to a display user. A frame selection process is triggered by video encoding and compression indicia to eliminate duplication and inactivity. Hours of H.264 encoded video are reduced to seconds of surveillance animation. Motion indicia in video frames and pixel blocks steer the short summary. Timespans and camera views of inactivity are purged from the summary. To meet time management budgets, the report is transmitted to a display/selection apparatus as a mix of still images and video activity glimpses.
