Abstract
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.
