A method for routing media in a surveillance system comprises, at a gateway device placed on a local network deployed at a location being surveilled and having network connectivity to a cloud computing device, detecting networked device(s) placed on the local network, the networked device(s) comprising media device(s) each configured to generate media stream data as the location is being surveilled, determining a level of interest associated with the media stream data, obtaining, based on the detecting, at least one rule indicative of when the media stream data is to be routed, based on the level of interest, via the gateway device and when the media stream data is to be routed directly to the cloud computing device for processing, and instructing, based on the level of interest, at least one of the networked device(s) to route the media stream data according to the at least one rule.

Methods and systems for routing media

A method for routing media comprising, at one of a plurality of media devices placed on a local network deployed at a location being surveilled, each media device configured to generate media stream data as the location is being surveilled, detecting networked device(s) placed on the local network, the networked device(s) comprising gateway device(s) each having network connectivity to a cloud computing device, obtaining, based on the detecting, rule(s) from the cloud computing device and/or the gateway device(s), the rule(s) indicative of when the media stream data is to be routed via the gateway device(s) and when the media stream data is to be routed directly to the cloud computing device for processing, monitoring parameter(s) associated with the local network and/or an environment of the location being surveilled to determine whether the rule(s) is satisfied, and, when the rule(s) is satisfied, routing the media stream data according to the rule(s).

A system for routing media comprises a cloud computing device, networked device(s) placed on a local network deployed at a location being surveilled, the networked device(s) comprising media device(s) each configured to generate media stream data as the location is being surveilled, and a gateway device placed on the local network and having network connectivity to the cloud computing device, the gateway device configured for detecting the networked device(s), obtaining, based on the detecting, rule(s) indicative of when the media stream data is to be routed via the gateway device and when the media stream data is to be routed directly to the cloud computing device, monitoring parameter(s) associated with the local network and/or an environment of the location to determine whether the rule(s) is satisfied, and, when the rule(s) is satisfied, instructing at least one of the networked device(s) to route the media stream data according to the rule(s).

Producing a privacy-protected video clip in a video management system includes retrieving a selected video clip constituting at least a portion of a stored video stream; obtaining segments of the video clip which are spaced apart in time and have a total length equal to a defined time period; combining the obtained segments of the video clip to form a background training clip; and processing the background training clip, or the separate segments, to produce a background model. The video clip is processed to produce a privacy-protected video clip, such that, for each image the video clip, the processing includes performing background subtraction, using the background model, to define foreground regions, and obscuring the defined foreground regions.
