Method and System for Generating a Smart Time-Lapse Video Clip

An electronic device, comprising:

• a display;
• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing one or more programs to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:
• displaying a video monitoring user interface on the display, the video monitoring user interface including a video window displaying video captured by a camera located remotely from the electronic device, wherein a subset of the video includes a plurality of motion events including a first motion event associated with an event category and a second motion event not associated with the event category;
• detecting a user request for video playback;
• in response to the request:
• identifying a segment of the video for playback, wherein the segment includes a first portion associated with the first motion event and a second portion associated with the second motion event;
• causing generation of a time-lapse video clip of the segment of the video for playback, including configuring the first portion to play at a different speed from the second portion;
• and
• displaying and playing in the video monitoring user interface the video clip of the segment of the video, including playing the first portion at a different speed from the second portion.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which, when executed by an electronic device with a display and one or more processors, cause the electronic device to perform operations comprising:

• displaying a video monitoring user interface on the display, the video monitoring user interface including a video window displaying video captured by a camera located remotely from the electronic device, wherein a subset of the video includes a plurality of motion events including a first motion event associated with an event category and a second motion event not associated with the event category;
• detecting a user request for video playback;
• in response to the request:
• identifying a segment of the video for playback, wherein the segment includes a first portion associated with the first motion event and a second portion associated with the second motion event;
• causing generation of a time-lapse video clip of the segment of the video for playback, including configuring the first portion to play at a different speed from the second portion;
