    摘要: The present invention relates to a system comprising an electronic device (20) and a control device (30) for controlling the electronic device over a communication network (50). The electronic device comprises: a data storage (21) comprising control parameters by which operation of the electronic device are controlled and an access level associated with each control parameter; a message generating circuitry (22) configured to generate a control setup message comprising the control parameters and associated access levels; and a network interface (23) configured to send the control setup message over the communication network to the control device. The control device comprises: an access level determining circuitry (32) configured to determine an access level of a user logged in to the control device; a network interface (31) configured to receive the control setup message from the electronic device over the communication network; a control interface setup circuitry (33) configured to generate a set of control parameters, to be displayed as control graphics representing different states of operation of the electronic device, by, from the in the control setup message received control parameters, extract control parameters having an access level equal to or lower than the access level of the user logged in to the control device; and a graphic generating circuitry (34) configured to generate a graphical control interface comprising control graphics enabling control of different states of operation of the electronic device corresponding to the extracted control parameters.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for storing video data in a surveillance system including three or more cameras and a storage service comprising a storage space. The storage space is partitioned into an initial set of allotted portions for storing video data captured over a time period from each of the three or more video cameras. For each camera, a video quality value is set for encoding video captured by the camera. For each camera and at discrete time intervals, it is determined whether maintaining the video quality value would cause the camera to output an expected amount of video data that would exceed the allotted portion of storage space for the camera over the time period. If it is determined for at least one camera that the expected amount of video data would exceed the allotted portion of storage space, the video quality is reduced relative to the current video quality. If it is determined that the video quality from a camera falls below a video quality represented by a video quality threshold value, the storage space is re-partitioned into a new set of allotted portions, in which increased storage space is allotted to the camera having a video quality that falls below the threshold value, and in which decreased storage space is allotted to at least one other camera.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method, video server and system for playing back recorded video. The invention is based on comparing the encoder frame rates at temporal positions of a received video sequence to a predetermined threshold and changing the playback frame rate to a playback frame rate greater than the encoder frame rate if the encoder frame rate is below the predetermined threshold and changing the playback frame rate to the encoder frame rate if the encoder frame rate is greater than the predetermined threshold. Recorded video is thereby played back in a time efficient manner, decreasing the total time period for video playback, and assisting a security operator in finding parts of the recorded video that may be of interest.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for carrying out a health check of at least two cameras, comprising the steps of initiating a health check process and checking, in response to the initiating step, for motion events stored in a database storing motion events, for each of the two cameras. If the checking for motion events indicates that a motion event has been stored in the database for one of the at least two cameras, then the method further comprises the steps of selecting a motion event found when checking for motion events stored in the database and retrieving a video clip corresponding to the selected motion event, captured by the one of the at least two cameras. The method further comprises the step of displaying the retrieved video clip together with a corresponding camera identification for evaluation.
