Title: Method and apparatus for serving and managing storage of data streams in a surveillance and/or monitoring system
Inventor: CARSTEN BØGELUND
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2015-11-11
Abstract: This application is for a way of providing, or serving, and storing data in a surveillance or monitoring system. It works by having a plurality of peripheral devices, such as a camera or microphone, connected to a plurality of recording servers. Each device is associated with a particular server, but this can be changed. The method works by obtaining a configuration table that is a list of recording servers that store a data segment from a particular device 501. It then builds an association table that is based on the configuration table which shows the identifiers of the data segments on each recording server on the list 502. It then determines which server is holding the data segment 503 and serves that data segment to the requester, or client 509. There is also a second invention that transmits configuration information to a management server to update a configuration table when a peripheral device changes its association from a first to a second server.
