Abstract
A method and device for automatically recording a video output signal from an endoscopy device. Video image data is received at a video capture device, and transmitted with associated metadata to a server. Prior to transmission, the video capture device analyzes the video image data to identify a recording start indicator as a function of predetermined threshold conditions. Once the indicator is identified, the device sends recording start timestamp to a backend server. The server indexes and stores the recorded video data as a function of the associated metadata in a database, and also records the recording the recording start timestamp data in the database. The device is further able to identify a recording stop indicator, and prepare recording stop timestamp data for transmission to the server.
