Abstract

A management server receives a request to view video content; access a stream of video content corresponding to the request; access and store, in one or more databases, metadata associated with the video content, wherein the metadata includes a plurality of detections and was generated by the video gateway device based on an analysis of the video content and previously uploaded to a remote computing device; generating and causing display of a user interface that includes: the stream of the video content, a seek bar configured to be manipulated by a user so that the user can navigate through the video content, and the metadata overlaid on the seek bar such that the plurality of detections are overlaid at locations on the seek bar corresponding to when the plurality of detections were detected.

Claims (43)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, from a computing device, a request to view video content;

determining, from a video gateway device, a stream of video content corresponding to the request, wherein the video content is stored on the video gateway device;

accessing, from one or more databases, previously stored metadata associated with the video content, wherein the previously stored metadata includes a plurality of detections, and wherein the previously stored metadata includes, for each detection, a classification of the detection; and

generating instructions to cause display of a user interface on the computing device, wherein the user interface includes:

the determined stream,

an interactive seek bar, and

the previously stored metadata overlaid on the interactive seek bar and providing indications of detection types from a plurality of detection types.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the video content is captured by cameras configured to capture video of areas of a facility.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the previously stored metadata was generated based on an analysis of the video content.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the analysis of the video content can be performed on one or more of: the video gateway device, the computing device, and one or more servers.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the previously stored metadata includes one or more screenshots associated with the stream of the video content.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the interactive seek bar is configured to be manipulated by a user.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving input data indicating a manipulation of the interactive seek bar by a user associated with the computing device; and

based on the received input data, generating instructions to cause display of one or more screenshots associated with the determined stream while the interactive seek bar is being manipulated by the user.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of detections are further overlaid on the interactive seek bar at locations on the interactive seek bar corresponding to when the plurality of detections were detected.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

storing, in the one or more databases, the determined stream.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

accessing video recording criteria configured to be used to determine types of detections to monitor.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the video recording criteria includes information designating at least a portion of a camera feed, a particular machine, type of motion detected, or a combination.

12. A management server system comprising:

a computer readable storage medium comprising program instructions; and

one or more processors configured to execute the program instructions to cause the management server system to:

receive, from a computing device, a request to view video content;

determine, from a video gateway device, a stream of video content corresponding to the request, wherein the video content is stored on the video gateway device;

access, from one or more databases, previously stored metadata associated with the video content, wherein the previously stored metadata includes a plurality of detections, and wherein the previously stored metadata includes, for each detection, a classification of the detection; and

generate instructions to cause display of a user interface on the computing device, wherein the user interface includes:

the determined stream,

an interactive seek bar, and

the previously stored metadata overlaid on the interactive seek bar and providing indications of detection types from a plurality of detection types.

13. The management server system of claim 12 , wherein the video content is captured by cameras configured to capture video of areas of a facility.

14. The management server system of claim 12 , wherein the previously stored metadata was generated based on an analysis of the video content.

15. The management server system of claim 14 , wherein the analysis of the video content can be performed on one or more of: the video gateway device, the computing device, and one or more servers.

16. The management server system of claim 12 , wherein the previously stored metadata includes one or more screenshots associated with the stream of the video content.

17. The management server system of claim 12 , wherein the interactive seek bar is configured to be manipulated by a user.

18. The management server system of claim 17 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the program instructions to further cause the management server system to:

receiving input data indicating a manipulation of the interactive seek bar by a user associated with the computing device; and

based on the received input data, generating instructions to cause display of one or more screenshots associated with the determined stream while the interactive seek bar is being manipulated by the user.

19. The management server system of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of detections are further overlaid on the interactive seek bar at locations on the interactive seek bar corresponding to when the plurality of detections were detected.

20. The management server system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the program instructions to further cause the management server system to:

accessing video recording criteria configured to be used to determine types of detections to monitor, wherein the video recording criteria includes information designating at least a portion of a camera feed, a particular machine, type of motion detected, or a combination.
