US 2019/0158789 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING CRITICAL DATA ON CAMERA SYSTEMS FROM PHYSICAL ATTACK

Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for protecting critical data on cameras from physical attacks. In some examples, a camera at a particular site monitors data captured by the camera and, based on the data, detects one or more predetermined conditions indicating a threat to the camera. Based on the one or more predetermined conditions indicating the threat to the camera, the camera determines a threshold risk of damage to data stored at the camera. In response to determining the threshold risk of damage to the data stored at the camera, the camera selects, from a plurality of content items in the data stored at the camera, a subset of content items based on respective priorities associated with the plurality of content items, and sends, via a network, the subset of content items to one or more destinations to yield a prioritized backup of the plurality of content items.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

monitoring, by a camera at a particular site, data captured by the camera at the particular site;
based on the data captured by the camera, detecting one or more predetermined conditions indicating a threat to the camera;
based on the one or more predetermined conditions indicating the threat to the camera, determining a threshold risk of damage to data stored at the camera;
in response to determining the threshold risk of damage to the data stored at the camera:
selecting, from a plurality of content items in the data stored at the camera, a subset of content items based on respective priorities associated with the plurality of content items;
and
sending, by the camera via a network, the subset of content items to one or more destinations to yield a prioritized backup of the subset of content items from the plurality of content items.

4 more elements

A camera system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
at least one computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the camera system to:
monitor data captured by the camera system, the camera system being located at a particular site;
based on the data captured by the camera system, detect one or more predetermined conditions indicating a threat to the camera system;
based on the one or more predetermined conditions indicating the threat to the camera system, determine a threshold risk of damage to data stored at the camera system;
in response to determining the threshold risk of damage to the data stored at the camera system:
select, from a plurality of content items in the data stored at the camera system, a subset of content items based on respective priorities associated with the plurality of content items;
and
send, via a network, the subset of content items to one or more destinations to yield a prioritized backup of the subset of content items from the plurality of content items.

7 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising:

instructions stored therein which, when executed by one or more processors, cause a camera system to:
monitor data captured by the camera system, the camera system being located at a particular site;
based on the data captured by the camera system, detect one or more predetermined conditions indicating a threat to the camera system;
based on the one or more predetermined conditions indicating the threat to the camera system, determine a threshold risk of damage to data stored at the camera system;
in response to determining the threshold risk of damage to the data stored at the camera system:
select, from a plurality of content items in the data stored at the camera system, a subset of content items based on respective priorities associated with the plurality of content items;
and
send, via a network, the subset of content items to one or more destinations to yield a prioritized backup of the subset of content items from the plurality of content items.
