Abstract
A method and a system for automatically performing diagnostics of various operational parameters of digital video recorders, cameras, peripheral and associated components encompassing a video system, are provided. Script files are provided including diagnostic instructions, which are executed according to a schedule. The diagnostics for example include catalogue size verification, live working check for each camera, camera analysis of the image brightness and camera movement verification. Automated repair of the cameras is also possible. Preferably, the instructions are executed through an interface remotely interacting with the user control software of the cameras.
