A method for hybrid video encoding includes receiving, via a browser, a signal representing a requested media, and determining whether the browser is compatible with high efficiency video encoding (H.265). When the browser is compatible with H.265, the requested media is transmitted, via a first video encoder, in a non-transcoded, H.265 format. When the browser is incompatible with H.265, one of: (1) a H.265 version of the requested media is transcoded to a transcoded H.264 version when the requested media includes recorded video footage, (2) the H.265 version of the requested media is transcoded to the transcoded H.264 version when the requested media does not include recorded video footage and includes full resolution video footage, or (3) the requested media is transmitted via a second video encoder in a non-transcoded, H.264 format when the requested media does not include recorded video footage and does not include full resolution video footage.

System and method for hybrid video encoding with fallback compatibility logic

Introduced here are surveillance systems and associated approaches for obfuscating biometric identifiers generated by, or available to, those surveillance systems for privacy reasons. In the event that a surveillance system generates a biometric identifier (e.g., by imaging a face of a person entering the premises of an organization), caution must be taken to only share the biometric identifier with individuals as necessary for security reasons. The approaches introduced here allow the privacy of persons being surveilled to be protected. Specifically, a computer program may selectively apply blurring as an impermanent mask to obfuscate each face in a digital image. This approach limits 'reidentification' of a given person to those scenarios where her identity must be determined.

First video data captured by a first camera from a set of cameras is received and caused to be stored in a first data stripe from a set of data stripes. Second video data captured by the first camera is received and caused to be stored in a second data stripe from the set of data stripes. An indication is received that the first video data has become inaccessible. Data associated with the first data stripe is received from a subset of cameras from the set of cameras that excludes the first camera. The first video data is generated based on the data received from the subset of cameras.

A tire chain device of the type which has a rigid structure positioned on the inner side of the wheel upon which it is installed, said rigid structure being comprised of an adjustable length horizontal strap and two rigid depending straps pivoted from either end thereof in a manner that restricts pivoting more than 90.degree., the two ends of the horizontal strap of said inner structure being connected by two short cross links to an adjustable length outer strap, and the lower end of each depending strap being removably connected by two long cross links to a plurality of posts having expanded ends spaced along the exposed side of the outer strap. In another mode of the invention the inner structure is comprised of five rigid straps including four of equal length and shape pivotally depending from one horizontal strap such that they form five sides of an octagon when pivoted to their maximum outward extent. The second mode of the device adjusts to different size wheels by the repositioning of the depending straps at their pivot points on the horizontal strap. The outer strap is slotted near one end for vertical support of the inner structure in the formation of a warning triangle.
