Abstract

A device for previewing a video includes a memory device configured to store instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to receive a video captured by a camera and analyze the video. The one or more processors are also configured to detect a special event from the analysis of the video. The special event includes at least one of an object, a moving object, or a sound detected in the video. The one or more processors are further configured to extract, from the video, at least one of a video preview frame or audio segment corresponding to the special event, and generate a preview video including the at least one of the video preview frame or audio segment corresponding to the special event.

8. The system of claim 6, wherein the camera is further configured to:

receive a signal indicating a potential special event including at least one of a potential object, a potential moving object, or a potential sound; and

capture the video including the potential special event.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein:

the camera is further configured to;

obtain information relating to the potential special event, and

transmit, to the processing server, the information relating to the potential special event; and

the processing server is further configured to;

receive the information relating to the potential special event, and

detect the special event based, at least in part, on the information relating to the potential special event.

10. The system of claim 6, wherein the special event is a first special event, and the processing server is further configured:

detect a second special event from the analysis of the video, the second special event including at least one of an object, a moving object, or a sound detected in the video; and
