1. A system comprising:
- a plurality of storage media devices;
a storage controller controlling said plurality of storage media devices;
a network interface passively monitoring network traffic, at a point on a network between an origin of the network traffic and a destination of the network traffic, and automatically detecting video data in at least a portion of said network traffic; and
said storage controller storing said video data in said storage media devices, at a location other than the origin and the destination of the network traffic, while the network traffic flows from the origin to the destination via the network, the storing said video data responsive to analyzing content of the video data.

Abstract
A storage controller controls a plurality of storage media devices and a network interface passively monitors network traffic and automatically detects video data in at least a portion of the network traffic, where the storage controller stores the detected video data in the storage media devices. The storage media devices where such detected video data is stored may not be the intended destination of the video data.

1. A system comprising:
-
a plurality of storage media devices; a storage controller controlling said plurality of storage media devices; a network interface passively monitoring network traffic, at a point on a network between an origin of the network traffic and a destination of the network traffic, and automatically detecting video data in at least a portion of said network traffic; and said storage controller storing said video data in said storage media devices, at a location other than the origin and the destination of the network traffic, while the network traffic flows from the origin to the destination via the network, the storing said video data responsive to analyzing content of the video data. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5)

6. A non-transitory, computer accessible memory medium storing program instructions for storing video data in a plurality of storage media devices, wherein the program instructions are executable by a processing element to:
-
passively monitor network traffic originating at a source at a first point on a network and having a destination at a second point on the network; automatically detecting video data in at least a portion of said monitored network traffic; and storing said video data in a storage system while said monitored network traffic passes from the first point to the second point along the network, said storage system not said destination, the storing said video data responsive to analyzing content of the video data. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A non-transitory, computer accessible memory medium storing program instructions for storing video data, wherein the program instructions are executable by a processing element in a storage system to:
-
passively monitor network traffic originating at a source at a first point on a network, the network traffic having a destination at a second point on the network; automatically detect video data and non-video data from the source in at least a portion of the monitored network traffic; storing the video data in the storage system, which is not the destination, as the monitored network traffic flows from the source, along the network, to the destination, the storing said video data responsive to analyzing content of the video data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
