Method for increasing reliability in monitoring systems

摘要

A method for decreasing the risk of monitoring data failing to be stored includes periodically sending a test message from the monitoring device to a Networked Storage Device, NSD, generating an NSD fail signal in the monitoring device if events following the sending of the test message indicates that the NSD is not operating properly, and sending, in response to the NSD fail signal, a fail message from the monitoring device for detection outside housing of monitoring device.

1. A method for decreasing the risk of monitoring data failing to be stored, the method comprising:
periodically sending via a network connection a test message from a networked video camera to a Networked Storage Device (NSD), wherein the test message is configured to determine storage operability; generating an NSD fail signal in the networked video camera if events following the sending of the test message indicates that the NSD is not operating properly; and sending, in response to the NSD fail signal, a fail message from the networked video camera for detection outside a housing of the networked video camera.
