VIDEO SURVEILLANCE, STORAGE, AND ALERTING SYSTEM HAVING NETWORK MANAGEMENT, HIERARCHICAL DATA STORAGE, VIDEO TIP PROCESSING, AND VEHICLEPLATE ANALYSIS

摘要

The present invention is a video surveillance, storage, and alerting system having the following components. One or more surveillance cameras capture video data having attribute data, the attribute data representing importance of the surveillan ce cameras. One or more video analytics devices process the video data from one or more of t he surveillance cameras and detect primitive video events in the video data. A network management module monitors network status of the surveillance cameras, and t he video analytics devices, and generates network events reflective of the network status of all subsystems. A correlation engine correlates two or more primitive video even ts from the video analytics devices weighted by the attribute data of the surveillance cameras used to capture the video data, and network events from the network management modul e weighted by attribute data of device corresponding to the network event. An alerting engine generates one or more alerts and performs one or more actions based o n the correlation performed by the correlation engine.
