1. A method of classifying video data, the method comprising:
- defining, by a computing device, a plurality of programme elements within video data, wherein each programme element has an associated classification code selected based on content of the video data, and wherein the content of the video data is determined at least in part based on sensor data obtained from a sensor device;
storing, by the computing device, video data representing the plurality of programme elements;
storing, by the computing device, the classification codes associated with the plurality of programme elements;
selecting video data to be deleted based on the classification codes; and
deleting the video data to be deleted, wherein the video data to be deleted is associated with one or more programme elements of the plurality of programme elements, wherein the video data to be deleted comprises video data representing periods of activity within the space being monitored that is below a calculated average level of activity for programme elements within the monitored space.

Abstract
A method of classifying video data representing activity within a space to be monitored. A method comprises storing video data obtained from a camera configured to monitor the space. Sensor data indicative of a condition occurring within the space is obtained, and a plurality of program elements are defined within the video data. Each program element has an associated classification code, and each classification code is selected using the sensor data.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable memory storing computer program code to cause a computer to:
-
define a plurality of programme elements within video data, wherein each programme element has an associated classification code selected based on content of the video data, and wherein the content of the video data is determined at least in part based on sensor data obtained from a sensor device; store video data representing the plurality of programme elements; store the classification codes associated with the plurality of programme elements; select video data to be deleted based on the classification codes; and delete the video data to be deleted, wherein the video data to be deleted is associated with one or more programme elements of the plurality of programme elements, wherein the video data to be deleted comprises video data representing periods of activity within the space being monitored that is below a calculated average level of activity for programme elements within the monitored space.

16. A system for classifying video data, the system comprising:
-
a program memory configured to store processor readable instructions; and a processor configured to read and execute instructions stored in the program memory, wherein the processor readable instructions comprise instructions to cause the processor to; define a plurality of programme elements within video data, wherein each programme element has an associated classification code selected based on content of the video data, and wherein the content of the video data is determined at least in part based on sensor data obtained from a sensor device; store video data representing the plurality of programme elements; store the classification codes associated with the plurality of programme elements; select video data to be deleted based on the classification codes; and delete the video data to be deleted, wherein the video data to be deleted is associated with one or more programme elements of the plurality of programme elements, wherein the video data to be deleted comprises video data representing periods of activity within the space being monitored that is below a calculated average level of activity for programme elements within the monitored space. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
