Operator device profiles in a surveillance system

Abstract

The present invention provides systems and methods for allowing an administrator to create device profiles, and map specific device profiles to specific operators. The system comprises a surveillance device to record an event, an administrator station for receiving a data stream corresponding to the event and for assigning the data stream to a device profile based on a plurality of attributes in the metadata of the stream, and a broadcast engine for mapping the data stream alongside a plurality of data streams within the device profile to an operator station. The method comprises recording an event within a secure area via a surveillance device, generating a data stream corresponding to the recorded event, applying a plurality of attributes for the data stream, transmitting the data stream to an administrator station, assigning the data stream to a device profile based in part on the plurality of attributes for the data stream, and mapping the data stream along with a plurality of data streams within the device profile to an operator station over a network.
