Abstract

An automated process for multi-feed video systems comprises receiving a plurality of video feeds from a plurality of video-capture devices. The video feeds each have a quality parameter set to an initial value. A priority feed is selected from the video feeds. A quality parameter of the priority feed is set to a priority value in response to selecting the priority feed. The video-capture devices are instructed to format the video feeds based on the quality parameter of each video feed. The quality parameter for each video feed comprises a bitrate or a resolution for the video feed. The priority feed is streamed as a video output. The video feeds are displayed for selection in an interface, and the interface comprises a map including a location of the video-capture devices.

Claims (42)

1. An automated process, comprising:

receiving a plurality of video feeds from a plurality of video-capture devices, the video feeds each having a quality parameter set to an initial value;

selecting a priority feed from the video feeds;

generating format instructions for the plurality of video capture devices to implement a prioritization scheme,

wherein the prioritization scheme includes a bitrate and a resolution for each of the plurality of video feeds,

wherein the format instructions include setting a quality parameter of the priority feed to a priority value in response to selecting the priority feed; and

instructing the video-capture devices to format the video feeds according to the format instructions by setting the quality parameter of each video feed.

2. The automated process of claim 1 , wherein the quality parameter for each video feed comprises a bitrate or a resolution for the video feed.

3. The automated process of claim 1 , further comprising streaming the priority feed as a video output.

4. The automated process of claim 1 , further comprising displaying the video feeds for selection in an interface.

5. The automated process of claim 4 , wherein the interface comprises a map including a location of the video-capture devices.

6. The automated process of claim 1 , wherein the priority value comprises a first bitrate higher than a second bitrate of the initial value.

7. The automated process of claim 1 , wherein the priority value comprises a first resolution higher than a second resolution of the initial value.

8. The automated process of claim 1 , further comprising:

diagnosing an operating health of a wireless network including the video-capture devices; and

generating the prioritization scheme for the video feeds based on the operating health of the wireless network.

9. A video system comprising a processor in communication with non-transitory memory configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the video system to perform operations, the operations comprising:

receiving a plurality of video feeds from a plurality of video-capture devices, the video feeds each having a quality parameter set to an initial value;

selecting a priority feed from the video feeds;

generating format instructions for the plurality of video capture devices to implement a prioritization scheme,

wherein the format instructions include setting a quality parameter of the priority feed to a priority value in response to selecting the priority feed; and

instructing the video-capture devices to format the video feeds according to the format instructions by setting the quality parameter of each video feed.

10. The video system of claim 9 , wherein the quality parameter for each video feed comprises a bitrate or a resolution for the video feed.

11. The video system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise streaming the selected priority feed as a video output.

12. The video system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise displaying the video feeds for selection in an interface.

13. The video system of claim 12 , wherein the interface comprises a map including a location of the video-capture devices.

14. The video system of claim 9 , wherein the priority value comprises a first bitrate higher than a second bitrate of the initial value.

15. The video system of claim 9 , wherein the priority value comprises a first resolution higher than a second resolution of the initial value.

16. The video system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

diagnosing an operating health of a wireless network including the video-capture devices; and

generating the prioritization scheme for the video feeds based on the operating health of the wireless network.

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

receiving a plurality of video feeds from a plurality of video-capture devices, the video feeds each having a quality parameter set to an initial value;

selecting a priority feed from the video feeds;

generating format instructions for each of the plurality of video capture devices to implement a prioritization scheme,

wherein the format instructions include setting a quality parameter of the priority feed to a priority value in response to selecting the priority feed; and

instructing the video-capture devices to format the video feeds according to the format instructions by setting the quality parameter of each video feed.

18. The computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the priority value comprises a first bitrate higher than a second bitrate of the initial value.

19. The computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the priority value comprises a first resolution higher than a second resolution of the initial value.

20. The computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise:

diagnosing an operating health of a wireless network including the video-capture devices; and

generating the prioritization scheme for the video feeds based on the operating health of the wireless network.
