The present invention comprises a system and method for controlling the rate a data encoder generates compressed data. The system and method are preferably implemented as program code stored and executed by a processor or computer that is interfaced to standard variable or constant bit rate encoders known in the art. The system preferably encodes and compresses video signals received from a camera, and controls the rate at which the compressed data is generated by the encoder so that storage capacity reserved for the compressed data will not be exceeded. The device preferably takes advantage of periods when the data generation rate is low to increase the quality of video data generated during periods of high activity.
A method for controlling an amount of video data generated for storage in a memory over a long-term time period, the method comprising:
A system for storing compressed data, comprising:
A method for controlling an amount of video data generated by a video encoder for each of a plurality of successive short-term time periods, where each successive short-term time period is shorter than a long-term time period and the video data generated is stored in a memory, thereby controlling an amount of video data stored in the memory over the long-term time period, the method comprising:
A method for controlling an amount of video data generated by a video encoder over a long-term time period, the method comprising:
