Abstract
A video security system having a server and a video terminal device includes: at least one database for storing network and physical configuration information relating to the terminal device operable to remotely communicate with the server through a distributed network; and one or multiple storage servers for storing video data received from the terminal devices.
A method of managing a video terminal device involves: assigning a unique device ID to the video terminal device; sending an event and an associated video stream from the video terminal device to the Server; and storing the event and the associated video stream into a database and a storage server in association with the unique device ID.
Another method involves: creating a user account on a Server; selecting services for associating with the devices; allocating storage server space for storing video data stream files; and making available to the user stored video files.

7. A method in a video monitoring and security system for allowing a user to manage one or multiple video terminal devices, comprising:
-
a) assigning a unique device ID to said video terminal device, said terminal device registers to a Server and said Server verifies validity of said device ID by checking a database that contains all valid devices stored in said database; and b) allowing said video terminal device to send an event associated video stream to said Server and stores said events and said associated video stream into a separate database and a storage server, which are searchable and indexed through said unique device ID. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method in a video monitoring and security system for allowing a user to manage one or multiple video terminal devices, comprising:
-
a) allowing a user to create a user account on a Server and said user is allowed to add, delete, transfer and view said devices once said user login to said Server; and b) allowing said user to manage a user'"'"'s profile to select services to associate with said devices and said individual services also specify different means of handling of events; and c) allocating storage server space for said devices, owned by said user, to store video data stream files and said users are allowed to retrieve said stored video files. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
