Abstract
A surveillance apparatus continuously records imaged data from a camera into a circular buffer in a local memory. When a record signal is received, the system records the video stream that was recorded before the record signal was received, and the video stream that is recorded after the record signal was received. The recorded segment is then write-protected, so that the surveillance apparatus does not overwrite the recorded segment. The recorded segment could then be sent to a remote memory via a wireless connection to free up local memory for future recording sessions.
Claims20
A recording system for saving a sequence of clips comprising:
- at least one memory communicatively coupled with a sensor;
- and
- a computer processor configured to:
- record sensor data obtained by the sensor in the at least one memory;
- in response to a first trigger signal, designate for write-protecting a first portion of the sensor data that was captured prior to occurrence of the first trigger signal, wherein the first portion of the sensor data occupies a portion of the at least one memory that is less than the entirety of the at least one memory and corresponds to a length of time prior to the first trigger signal;
- continuing to record the sensor data in the at least one memory while the first portion of the sensor data is designated for write-protecting;
- in response to a subsequent second trigger signal, designate for write-protecting a second portion wherein the second portion occupies less than the remaining entirety of the at least one memory not designated for write-protecting and corresponds to a length of time prior to the second trigger signal;
- and
- upon reaching at least one of the first portion and the second portion while continuing to record the sensor data in the at least one memory, excluding from overwriting the at least one of the first portion and second portion.
