Abstract
Methods and systems are described for storing video content collected by a home automation system. According to at least one embodiment, an apparatus for accessing video content collected by a home automation system includes a processor, a memory in electronic communication with the processor, and instructions stored in the memory which are executable by a processor to receive video content associated with an event, determine a priority level of the video content based on at least one predetermined criteria, and store the video content for a period of time based on the priority level.
Claims20
An apparatus for storing video content collected by an automation system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
- receive video content associated with an event;
- determine a priority level of the video content based at least in part on at least one predetermined criteria;
- and
- store the video content for a period of time based at least in part on the determined priority level.
A computer-program product for storing video content collected by an automation system, the computer-program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor to:
- receive video content;
- determine a priority level of the video content;
- store the video content in a storage medium;
- and
- delete the video content from the storage medium after a predetermined time period based at least in part on the determined priority level.
A computer-implemented method for storing video content collected by an automation system, comprising:
- receiving video content associated with an event, the video content having an assigned priority level;
- storing the video content in a storage medium;
- and
- deleting the stored video content from the storage medium based at least in part on the priority level.
