SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING VIDEO DATA
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a DVM system, the method including:
- providing a user interface for allowing an operator to control the DVM system;
by way of the user interface, providing a system alert level controller, wherein the system alert level controller has at least two states respectively corresponding to a first system alert level and a second system alert level, wherein each system alert level is associated with a respective set of system operational characteristics;
receiving from the operator, via the system alert controller, an instruction to progress from the first system alert level to the second system alert level;
identifying the set of system operational characteristics associated with the second system alert level; and
applying the set of system operational characteristics associated with the second system alert level in the DVM system such that the system adopts those operational characteristics.

Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for managing video data. Embodiments are described by reference to a Digital Video Management (DVM) system, for example methods for controlling a DVM system. In overview, the present technology relates to the ability of an operator to modify a system alert level in the context of a DVM system, thereby to reduce the need for manual interaction in times of high alert. This may be achieved by implementing a system alert level controller via a graphical user interface. Increasing the system alert level, at least in some embodiments, correspondingly increases system resource consumption, for example by automating various actions (such as record) or increasing the amount/quality of recordings made. In effect, the system is temporarily operated on a high-cost basis thereby to assist manage risk during times of high alert by reducing reliance on the operator.

18. A DVM system, comprising:
-
a user interface; a system alert level controller in communication with the user interface, the system alert level controller having at least two states respectively corresponding to a first system alert level and a second system alert level, and wherein each system alert level is associated with a respective set of system operational characteristics; the system alert controller configured to receive from the user interface an instruction to progress from the first system alert level to the second system alert level; the system alert controller configured to identify the set of system operational characteristics associated with the second system alert level; and the system alert controller configured to apply the set of system operational characteristics associated with the second system alert level in the DVM system such that the DVM system adopts those operational characteristics. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. A DVM system, comprising:
-
a user interface; a system alert level controller in communication with the user interface, the system alert level controller having at least two states respectively corresponding to a first system alert level and a second system alert level, wherein each system alert level is associated with a respective set of system operational characteristics, and wherein under the first system alert level one or more actions are manually effected, and under the second system alert level the same one or more actions are automatically effected; the system alert controller configured to receive from the user interface an instruction to progress from the first system alert level to the second system alert level; the system alert controller configured to identify the set of system operational characteristics associated with the second system alert level; and the system alert controller configured to apply the set of system operational characteristics associated with the second system alert level in the DVM system such that the DVM system adopts those operational characteristics.
