NETWORK BASED VIDEO ANALYTICS THROUGH AN APPLICATION PROGRAM INTERFACE (API) WITH METRIC TRIGGERED NOTIFICATIONS

摘要

A system for performs video analytics by receiving a video stream from a video capture device over a network to a server remotely located from a video capture device. The server extracts the one or more metrics by analyzing the video stream. The server compares the extracted one or more metrics from the video stream from the video stream against at least one previously established value defined at the server as part of assessing a previously established condition, defined at the server, to generate either a TRUE or a FALSE result. Responsive to a TRUE result, the server automatically performs a notification action that conveys a notification to a remotely located device of a previously designated user when the previously established condition is automatically detected by the analytics engine. Responsive to a FALSE comparison result, the server does not performing the notification action to the remotely located device.

1. A system for performing video analytics comprising:
receiving a video stream from a video capture device over a network to a server remotely located from a video capture device, wherein the video capture device does not internally perform an analysis of the video stream to determine one or more metrics; the server, comprising one or more processors, performing real-time or near-real time analysis on the video stream, wherein the analysis by the server:
extracts the one or more metrics by analyzing the video stream;compares the extracted one or more metrics from the video stream from the video stream against at least one previously established value defined at the server as part of assessing a previously established condition, defined at the server, to generate either a TRUE or a FALSE result;responsive to a TRUE result, automatically performs a notification action that conveys a notification to a remotely located device of a previously designated user when the previously established condition is automatically detected by the analytics engine, wherein the remotely located device is defined at the server for notifications;responsive to a FALSE comparison result, not performing the notification action to the remotely located device.
