Methods and systems for managing storage of videos in a storage device

A method for retrieving at least one video stored in a storage device of a system, the method comprising:

• storing a plurality of videos in the storage device of the system;
• generating a metadata corresponding to each video of the plurality of videos, the metadata comprising a time of the storage of a respective video, a size of the respective video in the storage device, and a data from a plurality of sensors positioned in the system;
• determining, for each video, a condition indicating a need for reducing size of the respective video,
• wherein the condition comprises a storage period of the respective video exceeding a threshold time period,
• wherein the storage period corresponds to a lapsed time period from at least one of:
• the time of storage of the respective video in the system, or a time of storage of a modified version of the respective video in the system;
• upon determination of the condition indicating the need for reducing size of the respective video:
• reducing at least one quality parameter from a plurality of quality parameters of the respective video by a pre-determined decrement factor, wherein the respective video with reduced size is stored as the modified version of the respective video in the storage device;
• and
• eliminating at least one video segment of the respective video corresponding to an uneventful region of the video;
• wherein eliminating at least one video segment further comprises:
• defining a set of cut-off values to an event-defining measuring unit, wherein the event-defining measuring unit comprises at least one of a G-sensor data, a number of dynamic pedestrians in the video segment, a number of dynamic vehicles in the video segment, presence of specific objects in the video segment or weights of an audio data corresponding to the respective video;
• sending an access request to the system for accessing the at least one video stored in the storage device based on a unique ID of the system, wherein the at least one video comprises an event related to an important incident;
• receiving at least one user input related to an event, wherein the user input comprises a time range including a time of occurrence of the event, and a date of occurrence of the event;
• detecting, based on the user input, at least one video segment in the video based on at least a G- sensor data, a number of dynamic pedestrians in the video segment, a number of dynamic vehicles in the video segment, presence of specific objects in the video segment or weights of an audio data;
• and
• sending the at least one video segment to a remote device.

A system, comprising:

• a memory configured to store instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory and thereby cause the system to perform at least in part to:
• store a plurality of videos in the memory;
• generate a metadata corresponding to each video of the plurality of videos, the metadata comprising a time of the storage of a respective video, a size of the respective video in the memory, and a data from a plurality of sensors positioned in the system;
• determine, for each video, a condition indicating a need for reducing size of the respective video,
• wherein the condition comprises a storage period of the respective video exceeding a threshold time period,
• wherein the storage period corresponds to a lapsed time period from at least one of the time of storage of the respective video in the system, or a time of storage of a modified version of the respective video in the system;
• and
• upon determination of a condition indicating a need for reducing size of the respective video:
• reduce at least one quality parameter from a plurality of quality parameters of the respective video by a pre-determined decrement factor;
• and wherein the respective video with reduced size is stored as the modified version of the respective video in the memory;
• and
• eliminate at least one video segment of the respective video corresponding to an uneventful region of the video;
• and
• wherein, to eliminate the at least one video segment, the processor is further configured to cause the system to:
• define a set of cut-off values to an event-defining measuring unit, wherein the event-defining measuring unit comprises at least one of a G-sensor data, a number of dynamic pedestrians in the video segment, a number of dynamic vehicles in the video segment, presence of specific objects in the video segment or weights of an audio data corresponding to the respective video.
