METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETERMINING AND TRACKING THE PERFORMANCE OF A VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM OVER TIME

Abstract:

Performance of a video system including a plurality of video cameras each configured to provide a video stream to one or more video recorders and as a monitoring station at which a user can view live and recorded video streams is evaluated. A plurality of live video streams are automatically processed to ascertain one or more live video quality metrics. A plurality of recorded video streams are automatically processed to ascertain one or more recorded video quality metrics. One or more measures of performance of the video system are automatically determined based on the one or more live video quality metrics, the one or more recorded video quality metrics. One or more underperforming components of the video system are identified based at least in part on one or more of the measures of performance of the video system.
