SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING VIDEO DATA
First Claim
1. A method, performed by a computing device, for controlling a DVM system, the method including:
- providing an incident trigger which is configured to be selectively actuated;
in response to actuation of the incident trigger, defining an incident identifier;
during a period of time for which the incident trigger is actuated, applying an incident recording protocol, thereby to automatically make recordings in accordance with the incident recording protocol; and
associating each of the DVM recordings with the incident identifier.

Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for managing video data. Embodiments are described by reference to a Digital Video Management (DVM) system, for example in terms of methods for providing incident-centric recording in a DVM system. In overview, a DVM system is configured to include an incident trigger, which is actuated either manually or automatically in response to an “incident”. In the case of manual actuation, the definition of an incident may be subjectively determined by an operator (for example based on training and/or protocols). In the case of automatic actuation, an incident is defined by predefined criteria (for example a signal from analytics software, and alarm, or the like). In response to the actuation of the trigger, an incident identifier is defined. During the period of actuation, a plurality of recordings is automatically made, based on an incident recording protocol. These recordings are all associated with the incident identifier. The automation allows an operator to, at the time of the incident, focus on factors other than ensuring important video evidence is being recorded (such as following a subject through a building by looking at various cameras). The association streamlines subsequent review of an incident, as recordings relevant to the incident are commonly identifiable based on the incident identifier.
