Video surveillance system
First Claim
1. A video surveillance system comprising:
- a dual use medium;
a first camera having a camera transceiver communicatively coupled to the dual use medium, the camera transceiver configured to send video data captured by the first camera over the dual use medium and to receive control signals over the dual use medium; and
a control system having a control transceiver communicatively coupled to the dual use medium for a low latency video connection with the first camera, the control transceiver configured to receive video data from the first camera via the dual use medium and to send control signals to the first camera over the dual use medium.

Abstract
A video surveillance system includes one or more cameras communicatively coupled to a control system via a dual use medium. The video surveillance system includes a setup mode, a live viewing mode, a record mode, and a search/playback mode, some of which may operate simultaneously. In a live viewing mode, a user can view video data from one or more cameras using a graphical user interface. In the record mode, a user can independently set the record modes and schedules of the cameras, specify multiple motion detection zones per camera, and record in panic mode. In the search/playback mode, a user can search for and view, previously recorded video segments and perform file operations on the recorded video segments.

18. A method of operating a video surveillance system, the method comprising:
-
establishing a low latency video connection over a dual use medium by a control system;
receiving a signal from the dual use medium;
processing the received signal to produce a video data signal; and
outputting the video data signal. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A video surveillance camera, the camera comprising:
-
an image capture system for generating a video signal;
a processor coupled to the image capture system, the processor creating a video data stream from the video signal, the processor including a motion detection module for analyzing the video data stream and indicating a segment of the video data stream in which a motion-based event occurred; and
a transceiver having a first input/output and a second input/output, for sending the video data stream, the first input/output coupled to the processor and the second input/output adapted for connection to a dual use medium. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46)
