SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM FOR TRANSCODING SURVEILLANCE IMAGE FILES WHILE RETAINING IMAGE ACQUISITION TIME METADATA AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
First Claim
1. A surveillance video system comprising:
- a surveillance image database storing a sequence of surveillance image files for a common area having image acquisition time metadata associated therewith, the sequence of surveillance image files defining an image acquisition rate; and
a processor cooperating with said surveillance image database and configured totranscode the surveillance image files into a sequence of surveillance video frames retaining the image acquisition time metadata and at a video frame rate different from the image acquisition rate, andassemble a surveillance video transport stream from the sequence of surveillance video frames and retaining the image acquisition time metadata.

Abstract
A surveillance video system may include a surveillance image database storing a sequence of surveillance image files for a common area having image acquisition time metadata associated therewith, the sequence of surveillance image files defining an image acquisition rate. A processor may cooperate with the surveillance image database and may be configured to transcode the surveillance image files into a sequence of surveillance video frames retaining the image acquisition time metadata and at a video frame rate different from the image acquisition rate. The processor may also be configured to assemble a surveillance video transport stream from the sequence of surveillance video frames and retaining the image acquisition time metadata.
