Network video recorder for multi-stream recording enhanced event stream delay problem
A network video recorder having a multi-stream recording function which is robust to event stream delay is provided. An event stream is recorded by adjusting a time-lapse recording end time and an event recording time to prevent omission of a video, caused by transmission delay of a high-quality event stream during the recording of the event stream.
1. A network video recorder having a multi-stream recording function which is robust to event stream delay, the network video recorder comprising:
a time-lapse recorder configured to continuously record a time-lapse stream set by a user for a time period set by the user in a time-lapse recording mode;
an event recorder configured to record an event stream set by the user from a start point of a specific event set by the user to an end point of the specific event in an event recording mode; and
a recording controller configured to control switching between the time-lapse recording mode and the event recording mode by sensing a start of the specific event and an end of the specific event, and adjust a time-lapse recording end time and an event recording time to prevent omission of a video, caused by transmission delay of the event stream during the recording of the event stream.
2. The network video recorder of claim 1 , wherein the recording controller adjusts the event recording time such that the recording of the event stream is started at a position of a key frame of the event stream in the event recording mode to prevent omission of a video in an overlapping recording section during reproduction of the event stream.
3. The network video recorder of claim 2 , wherein the recording controller adjusts the time-lapse recording end time such that the recording of the time-lapse stream is continued to the position of the key frame of the event stream to prevent omission of a video during the recording of the event stream, caused when the event stream is recorded starting from the position of the key frame in the event recording mode.
4. The network video recorder of claim 3 , wherein the recording controller further adjusts the time-lapse recording end time such that the recording of the time-lapse stream is continued to the end point of the specific event in the event recording mode to prevent omission of a video in a recording omission section during the recording of the event stream.
5. The network video recorder of claim 4 , wherein the recording controller deletes data of the time-lapse stream, which is redundantly recorded from the position of the key frame at which the recording of the event stream is started to an end of the recording of the event stream, to save space.
