Abstract
A surveillance camera and surveillance data storage system includes a video management system (VMS) with a backfill monitor controlling the process of transferring backfill surveillance data locally stored on the cameras to the VMS. The backfill monitor accesses information in a transfer policy and camera schedule dictating priority and bandwidth settings for each camera or for groups of cameras and uses the information to allocate the order, timing and speed of the transfers. The backfill monitor can further adjust the transfer speeds continuously and in real time according to the current conditions of the network.
