Redundant video storage and authentication system for event data
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11950017B2) discloses a video recording authentication system designed to redundantly store event-related video data. The system includes one or more cameras equipped with internal storage using a circular buffer, a sensor, and a video recording manager device. This device triggers the cameras based on sensor indications, stores event-related video data along with authentication metadata in two storage mediums, and wirelessly transmits the data to a cloud-based storage system. The cameras can be body-mounted on law enforcement officers, with the system also incorporating a proximity tag reader for officer identification and GPS for location information.
Moreover, the patent outlines a method for storing video data, involving continuous recording by cameras, storing data in internal storage with a circular buffer, and triggering event recording based on sensor indications. The video recording manager device stores event-related data with authentication metadata, prevents overwriting before cloud storage, and compares data for authentication. Additionally, computer-readable media storing executable instructions for the method are detailed, including transferring cameras to a triggering event recording mode with enhanced video quality parameters. The system is particularly relevant for law enforcement applications, ensuring secure and redundant storage of critical video evidence with authentication features.
