Systems and Methods for Generating an Audit Trail for Auditable Devices
First Claim
1. An auditable camera, comprising:
- a video sensor;
a video data store configured to store video data generated by the video sensor;
an audit trail data store configured to store a set of auditable event entries;
an audit trail gathering engine configured to;
in response to receiving a notification of an event reported by a component of the auditable camera, record an auditable event entry representing the event in the audit trail data store; and
an audit trail reporting engine configured to;
transmit one or more auditable event entries from the audit trail data store to an evidence management system.

Abstract
In some embodiments, auditable devices such as auditable cameras are provided. The auditable devices maintain audit trail data that is digitally signed and stored on the devices until it can be uploaded to an evidence management system. When intermittent data connections to the evidence management system are available, an auditable device may transmit records of urgent events to the evidence management system. The transmission of urgent events via ad-hoc data connections and the digital signing of audit trail data help overcome technical obstacles in establishing provably reliable data collection while minimizing power consumption by the auditable device.
