Abstract

A video surveillance terminal avoids network congestion. The camera lowers exposure to unauthorized operation. Each apparatus discards unviewed higher resolution streams unless expressly desired by a host user. The client of the service determines an event of interest, selects an extent of data to represent the event, and derives a compact representation by video encoding and compression.
