Abstract:
In an electronic video monitoring system for security and surveillance, a recording device can adaptively change a bit rate at which a video stream is transmitted so that image quality is prioritized, including above maintaining a continuous real-time transmission. In this way, image quality suitable for security and surveillance can be guaranteed close to real-time, despite changes in video transmission requirements and/or network demands. In one aspect, a frame rate can be lowered to no less than a minimum frame rate, a resolution can be lowered to no less than a minimum resolution, and the frame rate and resolution can be lowered to the minimum frame rate and the minimum resolution, respectively, before allowing an increase of compression of the video stream in view of the change in video transmission requirements and/or network demands. This allows sustaining image quality suitable for security and surveillance.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for video monitoring, comprising:\n a recording device configured to capture video images at a resolution and frame rate, process the video images to produce an encoded media stream, and transmit the encoded media stream through a network connection, the recording device having a processor executing a program stored in a non-transient medium to:\n monitor for an event requiring a change in data transfer rate for transmitting the encoded media stream; and \n in response to the event, prioritize image quality in the encoded media stream in changing the data transfer rate by adjusting at least one of the frame rate and the resolution before adjusting compression of the encoded media stream, wherein the recording device maintains at least a minimum frame rate and a minimum resolution to sustain image quality.
