Digital video system using networked cameras
First Claim
1. A computer system for addressing camera failure modes of networked cameras and comprising a computer having non-transitory memory for storing machine instructions that are to be executed by the computer, the machine instructions when executed by the computer implement the following functions:
- identifying a network connection failure mode of one or more networked cameras from one or more network connection failure modes; and
executing a contingency function to overcome the identified network connection failure mode, the contingency function selected from one or more contingency functions based on the identification of the network connection failure mode.

Abstract
A digital video system including one or more video cameras and a video server connected to the one or more video cameras is disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, the video server includes a computer having a central processing unit (CPU) for executing machine instructions and a memory for storing machine instructions that are to be executed by the CPU. The machine instructions when executed by the CPU implement a number of functions including identifying a failure mode of one or more cameras from one or more failure modes and executing a contingency function from one or more contingency functions based on the identification of the failure mode. The failure mode may be selected from a first, second and third failure mode. The contingency function may be selected from a first and second contingency function.
