Abstract

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for processing security sensor data that enhances the ability of a user to quickly and efficiently review portions of the sensor data streams.

Claims (49)

1. A method for processing data, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) recording a set of data, the set of data including a plurality of data streams;

(b) receiving a first instruction to transmit the plurality of data streams to an authorized user's viewing device, wherein the plurality of data streams includes a first data stream at a first resolution;

(c) determining a format size for the authorized user's viewing device;

(d) transmitting the plurality of data streams to the authorized user's viewing device in a first format compatible with the determined format size;

(e) receiving a second instruction to transmit a subset of the plurality of data streams to the authorized user's viewing device, the subset including the first data stream at a second resolution, wherein the second resolution is a higher resolution than the first resolution;

(f) transmitting the subset of the plurality of data streams to the authorized user's viewing device in the first format.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of data streams are each from a same sensor.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein each of the data streams of the plurality of data streams is of a different data type, wherein the data type is selected from the group consisting of: video data, audio data, infrared data, proximity sensor data, ingress and/or egress sensor data, trigger event data, and combinations thereof.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of data streams are each from a separate sensor.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of data streams are from at least one sensor gathering data from a specific location.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first instruction includes a time frame TF1 and wherein the plurality of data streams transmitted to the authorized user's viewing device includes data only for TF1.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein one of the data streams in the plurality of data streams includes data being recorded live.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein a first data stream and a second data stream of the plurality of data streams are different from each other and each of the first and second data streams is selected from the group consisting of: video data, audio data, infrared data, proximity sensor data, ingress and/or egress sensor data, trigger event data, and combinations thereof.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the set of data comprises a first portion of data associated with a time frame TF1 and a second portion of data associated with a time frame TF2, wherein at least a portion of TF2 overlaps TF1 in time.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the second portion of data is associated with a trigger event.

11. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of executable instructions, the plurality of instructions comprising instructions to:

(a) record a set of data, the set of data including a plurality of data streams;

(b) receive a first instruction to transmit the plurality of data streams to an authorized user's viewing device, wherein the plurality of data streams includes a first data stream at a first resolution;

(c) determine a format size for the authorized user's viewing device;

(d) transmit the plurality of data streams to the authorized user's viewing device in a first format compatible with the determined format size;

(e) receive a second instruction to transmit a subset of the plurality of data streams to the authorized user's viewing device, the subset including the first data stream at a second resolution, wherein the second resolution is a higher resolution than the first resolution; and

(f) transmit the subset of the plurality of data streams to the authorized user's viewing device in the first format.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of data streams are each from a same sensor.

13. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 12 wherein each of the data streams of the plurality of data streams is of a different data type, wherein the data type is selected from the group consisting of: video data, audio data, infrared data, proximity sensor data, ingress and/or egress sensor data, trigger event data, and combinations thereof.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of data streams are each from a separate sensor.

15. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of data streams are from at least one sensor gathering data from a specific location.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the first instruction includes a time frame TF1 and wherein the plurality of data streams transmitted to the authorized user's viewing device includes data only for TF1.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein one of the data streams in the plurality of data streams includes data being recorded live.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11 wherein a first data stream and a second data stream of the plurality of data streams are different from each other and each of the first and second data streams is selected from the group consisting of: video data, audio data, infrared data, proximity sensor data, ingress and/or egress sensor data, trigger event data, and combinations thereof.

19. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11 wherein the set of data comprises a first portion of data associated with a time frame TF1 and a second portion of data associated with a time frame TF2, wherein at least a portion of TF2 overlaps TF1 in time.

20. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 19 wherein the second portion of data is associated with a trigger event.

21. A system for processing data, comprising:

a recording device for recording a set of data, the set of data including a plurality of data streams; and

a processor for:

receiving a first instruction to transmit the plurality of data streams to an authorized user's viewing device, wherein the plurality of data streams includes a first data stream at a first resolution;

determining a format size for the authorized user's viewing device;

transmitting the plurality of data streams to the authorized user's viewing device in a first format compatible with the determined format size;

receiving a second instruction to transmit a subset of the plurality of data streams to the authorized user's viewing device, the subset including the first data stream at a second resolution, wherein the second resolution is a higher resolution than the first resolution; and

transmitting the subset of the plurality of data streams to the authorized user's viewing device in the first format.

22. The system of claim 21 , wherein the plurality of data streams are each from a same sensor.

23. The system of claim 22 wherein each of the data streams of the plurality of data streams is of a different data type, wherein the data type is selected from the group consisting of: video data, audio data, infrared data, proximity sensor data, ingress and/or egress sensor data, trigger event data, and combinations thereof.

24. The system of claim 21 , wherein the plurality of data streams are each from a separate sensor.

25. The system of claim 21 , wherein the plurality of data streams are from at least one sensor gathering data from a specific location.

26. The system of claim 21 , wherein the first instruction includes a time frame TF1 and wherein the plurality of data streams transmitted to the authorized user's viewing device includes data only for TF1.

27. The system of claim 21 , wherein one of the data streams in the plurality of data streams includes data being recorded live.

28. The system of claim 21 wherein a first data stream and a second data stream of the plurality of data streams are different from each other and each of the first and second data streams is selected from the group consisting of: video data, audio data, infrared data, proximity sensor data, ingress and/or egress sensor data, trigger event data, and combinations thereof.

29. The system of claim 21 wherein the set of data comprises a first portion of data associated with a time frame TF1 and a second portion of data associated with a time frame TF2, wherein at least a portion of TF2 overlaps TF1 in time.

30. The system of claim 29 wherein the second portion of data is associated with a trigger event.
