Abstract:
1. A method for operating a video system, the method comprising: capturing video data comprising a plurality of frames of a scene; identifying a first frame from the plurality of frames that includes a first aspect of an activity occurring within the scene; subsequent to identifying the first frame, identifying at least a second frame from the plurality of frames that includes a second aspect of the activity occurring within the scene; analyzing images from frames of the scene one time when the images are originally captured; wherein the image is divided into macroblocks, and further wherein the scene includes a moving object, and processing the video data to determine an optimal motion vector for the moving object, wherein the optimal motion vector identifies the location of an identical macroblock in a reference image; saving results of that analysis as searchable metadata; transferring the first frame and the second frame for delivery to storage; associating timestamps with the first and second frames; transferring the timestamps with the first acid second frames for delivery to storage; retrieving the first frame and its associated timestamp from storage; setting a timer based on the timestamp associated with the first frame, displaying the first frame on a display, and starting the timer; retrieving the second frame and its associated timestamp from storage; processing the timestamp associated with the second frame to determine a timer value for displaying the second frame; and displaying the second frame on the display when the timer reaches the timer value.
