Distributed video storage and search with edge computing

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions executable by at least one processor to perform:

• receiving first video data captured by a camera proximate a first device, wherein the camera and the first device are on or in a first vehicle;
• determining, independent of a specific search query and dependent on analytics applied to a representation of the first video data, whether the first video data meets predefined criteria for safe or unsafe driving;
• in response to a determination that the first video data meets predefined criteria for unsafe driving, marking a first video data file corresponding to the first video data for automatic upload to a cloud device;
• and
• displaying to a user, in response to a received search filter data comprising a time window and a vehicle identifier corresponding to the first vehicle, an indicator for each of a plurality of previously recorded video files, each of the previously recorded video files corresponding to the first vehicle and a time within the time window;
• wherein each indicator comprises a status of whether a corresponding video file is:
• readily available,
• pending upload,
• available on request, or
• not available.
