Abstract

A video transmission method in which temporarily recorded video data are partially transmitted to a video data backup unit. In this case event-based identification data are concomitantly recorded during the temporary recording and only video data identified by identification data are transmitted to the video data backup unit.

Claims

1. A video data transmission method, wherein temporarily recorded video data are partially transmitted to a video data backup unit, wherein event-based identification data are concomitantly recorded during the temporary recording and only video data identified by identification data are transmitted to the video data backup unit.

2. The video data transmission method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the video data are recorded in a mobile unit, in particular a bus.

3. The video data transmission method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the video data backup unit is arranged in a control center that communicates with a plurality of units that record video data, in particular in the bus station.

4. The video data transmission method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the video data are transmitted by radio, preferably via a WLAN connection and/or a GSM or UMTS network.

5. The video data transmission method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the video data are stored or buffer-stored for backup on a USB stick.

12. A video camera for performing a method as claimed in claim 1 comprising a temporary memory, an input for identification signals and an output for identified video data, wherein provision is made of a selection stage for the recognition of a video data identification of stored data and the selection of identified video data for the transmission.

6. A video data transmission method, wherein video data with identification data indicating a backup requirement are recorded in response to a recording location, in particular a location determined by GPS signals, an ambient loudness, a door opening status and/or a panic or dead man'"'"'s button actuation.

7. The video data transmission method as claimed in claim 6, wherein a plurality of different triggers are provided for a data identification indicating the video data backup necessity and a differentiation between different triggering reasons is made by the identification.

8. The video data transmission method as claimed in claim 6, wherein a video data recording can be activated remotely, in particular by security forces, in particular a police control center.

9. The video data transmission method as claimed in claim 6, wherein a video data identification can be deactivated.

10. The video data transmission method as claimed in claim 6, wherein upon identification of video data for the transmission, video data recorded shortly before and shortly after the beginning of an identification are also concomitantly transmitted, in particular in order to ensure complete image contents upon video data compression.

11. The video data transmission method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the volume of video data acquired shortly before or shortly after a transmission identification is determined depending on the identification reason.
