Backfill of video stream

A method, comprising:

• capturing video and audio data in real-time via a camera element and a microphone of a camera system, respectively, the camera system having one or more processors, memory having a limited capacity, the camera element, the microphone, and a communication interface;
• while capturing the video and audio data in real-time, storing by the camera system the captured video and audio data in the memory having the limited capacity;
• sending the captured video and audio data by the camera system to a remote server system via the communication interface for storage by the remote server system, wherein the video and audio data stored at the remote server system is subsequently accessible by a client access device;
• and
• in response to a determination that a portion of video and audio data captured by the camera system is not stored at the remote server system, sending by the camera system at least the portion of video and audio data for view on the client access device, wherein the portion of the video and audio data is associated with a gap in the video and audio data stored at the remote server system;
• accessing the video and audio data stored at the remote server system via an application installed on and executable by the client access device;
• and
• enabling, by the application of the client access device, display of the video and audio data including the portion of the video and audio data that is resent by the camera system.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by a camera system having one or more processors, memory having a limited capacity, a camera element, a microphone, and a communication interface, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium including a second memory of a client access device for storing an application installed on and executable by the client access device, wherein the one or more programs comprise instructions for:

• capturing video and audio data in real-time via the camera element and the microphone, respectively;
• while capturing the video and audio data in real-time, storing the captured video and audio data in the memory having the limited capacity;
• and
• sending the captured video and audio data to a remote server system via the communication interface for storage by the remote server system, wherein the video and audio data stored at the remote server system is subsequently accessible by a client access device;
• and
• in response to a determination that a portion of video and audio data captured by the camera system is not stored at the remote server system, sending at least the portion of video and audio data for view on the client access device, wherein the portion of the video and audio data is associated with a gap in the video and audio data stored at the remote server system;
• accessing the video and audio data stored at the remote server system via the application of the client access device;
• and
• enabling, by the application of the client access device, display of the video and audio data including the portion of the video and audio data that is resent by the camera system.
