A system includes a beam bracket, a small camera bracket, and a large camera bracket. The beam bracket is adapted to be mounted to a building structure and has mounting holes distributed in a spatial configuration. The small camera bracket has mounting holes distributed in the same spatial configuration as the beam bracket with the mounting holes of the small camera bracket adapted to be aligned with the mounting holes of the beam bracket. The small camera bracket further includes a plate adapted to support a small camera. The large camera bracket has mounting holes distributed in the same spatial configuration as the beam bracket and adapted to be aligned with the mounting holes of the beam bracket. The large camera bracket further includes a plate adapted to support a large camera that is larger than the small camera.

In an illustrative implementation, a system for video storage optimization analyzes user activity to determine how to optimally store video. In a preferred embodiment, a security system records video from a plurality of security cameras and stores the video at the security system and/or a server system, along with associated metadata. The server system monitors user activity, such as live and recorded video viewing behavior, and queries for videos. The server system collects user video viewing behavior statistics, determines trends, and stores both personnel-specific and enterprise-wide settings. An optimization engine analyzes the video info, personnel-specific settings, enterprise-wide settings, and user statistics to determine a storage factor for a video. The optimization engine then determines if a video meets storage factor thresholds and settings for compression or deletion.

Video storage optimization

In one embodiment, video from a security camera is overlaid with small but visible indicators in each corner of the frame. The indicators may comprise an encoded value that can be decoded upon visual inspection by a user without the use of a computer. The encoded value may identify the camera such that a user knowledgeable about the format and sequence of the indicators can view the images and readily understand the identity of the security camera. In some embodiments, the indicators identify other information associated with the video such as the persons, objects, locations, conditions, times, or other data that is associated with the video.
