## Abstract

A method for configuring a computing device in a network of at least one remote device is disclosed. The method includes: storing, in a remote device, a configuration data archive relating to an existing computing device, wherein the remote device is at least one of a traffic camera or an aerial drone camera; determining, by a computing device to be configured, whether the remote device has stored therein a configuration data archive; and transferring data from the configuration data archive to the computing device to be configured in response to a determination that the remote device has stored therein a configuration data archive.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A self-healing video surveillance system, comprising:
an unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) including a camera configured to capture video and configured to store a first configuration data for a video recorder; and
the video recorder configured to receive a video feed from the UAV, the video recorder including:
a memory storing a second configuration data; and
a module configured to transmit the second configuration data to the UAV and to retrieve the first configuration data from the UAV.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The self-healing video surveillance system according to claim 1, wherein the module is further configured to perform a determination whether the first configuration data stored in the UAV is suitable for configuring the video recorder.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The self-healing video surveillance system according to claim 2, wherein the module is further configured to perform the determination periodically.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The self-healing video surveillance system according to claim 2, wherein the module is further configured to perform the determination in response to a malfunction event.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The self-healing video surveillance system according to claim 4, wherein the malfunction event is selected from the group consisting of an intrusion alert, a hack-in detection, a virus detection, a malware detection, a premises burglary alarm, a malfunction detection, a software crash, a hardware error, and a power failure.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The self-healing video surveillance system according to claim 1, wherein the first configuration data is stored on the UAV in an encrypted format.

### Claim 7

A self-healing video surveillance system, comprising:
a traffic camera configured to capture video and store a first configuration data for a video recorder; and
the video recorder configured to receive a video feed from the traffic camera, the video recorder including:
a memory storing a second configuration data; and
a module configured to transmit the second configuration data to the traffic camera and to retrieve the first configuration data from the traffic camera.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The self-healing video surveillance system according to claim 7, wherein the module is further configured to perform a determination whether the first configuration data stored in the traffic camera is suitable for configuring the video recorder.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The self-healing video surveillance system according to claim 8, wherein the module is further configured to perform the determination periodically.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The self-healing video surveillance system according to claim 8, wherein the module is further configured to perform the determination in response to a malfunction event.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The self-healing video surveillance system according to claim 10, wherein the malfunction event is selected from the group consisting of an intrusion alert, a hack-in detection, a virus detection, a malware detection, a premises burglary alarm, a malfunction detection, a software crash, a hardware error, and a power failure.

### Claim 12 (depends on 7)

The self-healing video surveillance system according to claim 7, wherein the first configuration data is stored on the traffic camera in an encrypted format.
