Systems and methods of activity based recording for camera applications

Abstract:

Systems and methods for activity based recording by a smart camera system are described herein. Activity based recording provides a smart and automated method to enable and disable the camera recording, such that potentially significant events or activities are detected and recorded. A camera located in a physical space detects a triggering event and begins recording video and/or audio for a predetermined time period, resulting in a captured video. The triggering event may be detected by one or more sensors associated with the camera, including but not limited to, a camera sensor, a passive infrared sensor, and a microphone. A metadata file is added to the captured video. Certain video frames are added to the beginning of the captured video, resulting in a finalized video recording. The finalized video recording is transmitted and presented to a user computing device.
