Redundant storage and authentication system for event video 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 manager device triggers the cameras based on sensor indications, storing event-related video data along with authentication metadata in two separate storage mediums. Additionally, the system utilizes wireless transceivers to transmit data to a cloud-based storage system, with a specific application for body-mounted cameras on law enforcement officers.
Furthermore, the patent outlines a method for storing video data, involving continuous recording by cameras, storage in internal circular buffers, and the transmission of triggering signals based on sensor inputs. The system ensures the redundancy of data by storing copies in the video recording manager device before transmitting to cloud storage. The method also includes authentication processes, preventing data overwriting until confirmation of cloud storage, and comparing data copies for authentication. The patent also covers computer-readable media storing instructions for implementing the method, emphasizing the transition from standard recording to event-triggered modes for enhanced video quality, particularly in law enforcement applications.
