Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for recording video / audio data, in which the data are generated by a recording device with a data memory.
- Video data and / or audio data are generated within the framework of the so-called NVR concept (NVR - network video recording) on a video source of the recording device, such as a digital camera or an analog camera, which is coupled to a video server, and the digital data are then transmitted via a digital network is sent to a recording device which comprises a corresponding data memory.
- NVR NVR - network video recording
- the object of the invention is to improve a method for recording video / audio data of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the method can be used in a simple manner.
- the data storage device of the recording device is connected to at least one recording device which has greater storage capacity than the data storage device of the recording device, and that data is exchanged between the data storage device and the at least one recording device, so that a virtual data memory for the recording device is formed by means of the recording device.
- the recording device comprises a data memory with a sufficiently large storage capacity, which appears in particular to the recording device as "infinite".
- the data are archived on the recording device and a data evaluation is carried out on the basis of the archived data. Hard disks are usually used as data storage.
- the solution according to the invention can prevent the data memory from reaching its capacity limits when the data memory has a limited capacity. Data can be temporarily stored in a data memory with a relatively low capacity and transferred to the network after being read out, in which case the much higher storage capacity on the recording device is the effective storage capacity for the recording device.
- a virtual data memory is provided for the recording device, the physical storage capacity of the data memory of the recording device being considerably smaller than the effective storage capacity.
- the recording device with its data memory acts as a central recording unit, which can be shared by a plurality of independent recording devices.
- the recording device can be connected directly to the recording device or devices or, for example, can be coupled to a digital network via which the data can be transmitted.
- both the data that is physically present in the data memory of the recording device and can also be accessed the data of the recording device are accessed.
- a user does not have to make different accesses here, ie he does not have to distinguish whether the data is physically present in the data memory of the recording device or is physically present in the data memory of the recording device, ie has been swapped out.
- the data storage device of the recording device is a local data storage device, which is provided, for example, for temporarily storing data prior to the transmission.
- the at least one recording device forms a central data memory which has a high storage capacity and which can be shared by a plurality of recording devices in order to effectively increase the storage capacity by forming a virtual data memory.
- a system is provided which can be implemented inexpensively. It can be used flexibly and fault-tolerant.
- the recording device and / or the at least one recording device are coupled to a digital network. Data can then be transmitted via this digital network and, in particular, data can be exchanged between the data memory of the recording device and the central recording device via the digital network.
- the reading out of data from the data memory on the recording device for transmission to the at least one recording device is logical for the writing of new data into the data memory is coupled. This makes it possible to ensure that the data memory on the receiving device does not overflow, but rather that data is swapped out in good time.
- the data written in is more up-to-date than the data read out.
- the process is then carried out on a first-in-first-out principle, with the older data being kept in stock in the data memory in the sense of buffer storage.
- the data are copied from the data memory for transmission, for example (to a digital network).
- the data is then read out so that it can be transferred.
- This data copying allows the storage capacity on the recording device to be kept small, in order to keep the space requirement of the recording device and the power consumption low, for example, if the storage capacity is effectively high (determined by the storage capacity of the recording device which receives the data).
- the data on the receiving device i. H.
- data accumulating during a malfunction of the data transmission can also be buffered so as not to generate permanent data gaps in the recording on the recording device.
- the transmitted data are received by a recording device which records the received data in order to archive them, for example, and / or on the basis of the recorded data
- data are written into the data memory at the same rate as data are read from the data memory.
- the data are continuously read from the data memory.
- Data can be read out when a certain threshold is reached, the threshold being determined, for example, by the storage capacity of the data memory. If, for example, a threshold of 50% of the storage capacity of the data memory is exceeded, this can serve as an initiation signal in order to cause data to be read out for transmission on the digital network.
- a recording device which receives transmitted data checks this data for intactness and the recording device notifies the recording device of the intactness.
- the corresponding memory area of the data memory can then be deleted on the basis of the corresponding message.
- the at least one recording device has different storage areas which correspond to different recording durations. This makes it possible, for example, to store data quantities assigned to different recording devices.
- a recording device such as a camera must monitor an area in which data must be recorded, that is to say stored, over several days, while another camera only has to record data that comprise a few hours. This can be taken into account by assigning different memory areas.
- the different storage areas are assigned to different recording devices or different recording devices of a recording device. This means that different recording times can be recorded (that is, amounts of data that have accrued in different time periods and which can sometimes overlap).
- the different memory areas are assigned to different temporal recording lengths. This means that different recording times can be achieved depending on the requirements. It is advantageous if the recording time for a specific recording device such as a camera can be set and, in particular, can be set independently of the storage space on the recording device.
- the recording period that is to say for the period of time in which data must be recorded and stored, is then not determined by the capacity of the recording device or recording devices, but at most by the capacity of the recording device.
- the data storage device of the recording device has a capacity corresponding to the duration of the data accumulation, so that a certain amount of data can be stored on site at the recording device. This provides security against failures in the transmission of data on the digital network.
- the invention further relates to a recording device for video / audio data, which comprises an interface for communication with at least one central recording device, via which data can be transmitted to the at least one recording device.
- a data memory and a control device for the data memory are provided, with the writing of new data into the data memory being able to be coupled to the reading of older data for transmission to the recording device via the control device in order to form a virtual data memory by means of the recording device.
- data can be copied from the data memory for transmission via the control device. This ensures that no data is lost even in the event of transmission malfunctions.
- the storage capacity with respect to the recording device can be increased beyond the physical storage capacity, since data copying means that a data storage device coupled to the digital network of the recording device makes its storage capacity "virtually" available to the recording device.
- data can be read out from the data memory for transmission by means of the control device in order to be able to read out data stored at time intervals.
- the invention further relates to a recording system for video / audio data, which comprises at least one recording device according to the invention and at least one recording device by means of which data sent by the at least one recording device can be stored.
- the recording system according to the invention has the advantages already explained in connection with the method according to the invention and the recording device according to the invention.

To be able to transmit data via the digital network 16 and to be able to receive data from the digital network 16.
- the digital network 16 can be a public network, such as the Internet, an ISDN network, a GSM network or a UMTS network. However, it can also be a proprietary network, which is formed, for example, via leased lines. An example of such a network is an in-house intranet.
- the digital network 16 can be a local area network (LAN - local area network) or a non-local area network (WAN - wide area network).
- the data is transmitted on the digital network 16 according to a specific protocol, such as TCP / IP.
- each recording device 12, 14 is assigned a respective data memory 26, 28, by means of which the video data and / or audio data can be recorded at the data source before the data transmission, independently of the recording on the recording device 18.
- the data memories 26, 28 can be volatile or non-volatile memories. However, non-volatile memories such as hard disk memories are preferred. Such data memories 26, 28 can be integrated in the housing, for example of the digital camera 20 or the video server 24, or can be arranged separately. However, they are each part of the associated receiving device 12 or 14.
- the recording device 18 also has one or more data stores 30, such as hard disk drives, the storage capacity of the recording device 18 being substantially greater than the storage capacity of the data stores 26 and 28 at the data source.
- the data recording on the recording devices 12, 14, i. H. at the data source takes place independently of the data recording on the recording device 18, i. H. the data receiver of the data transmitted by the recording devices 12, 14 via the digital network 16.
- the recording devices such as the recording device 12, each comprise a control device 32, which can be implemented as a hardware solution or software solution, which controls the data recording on the data memory 26, ie in particular that Controls writing and reading of data, which data is supplied by the digital camera 20.
- the control device 32 is coupled to the interface 25 in order to be able to send corresponding data to the digital network 16 and to be able to receive signals from the digital network 16.
- a detection device 34 is provided, which is coupled to the interface 25, via which test signals (life check signals) can be sent to the digital network 16 and corresponding test signals can be received from the digital network.
- test signals which are sent, for example, at fixed time intervals, serve to be able to detect interference in the data transmission on the digital network 16.
- Such disturbances are caused, for example, by network components such as switches, routers or the like having failed, components being connected incorrectly or not to the digital network 16, or the data transmission rate on the digital network 16 being inadequate due to high network traffic.
- the recording device 12 exchanges these test signals with the recording device 18, which also has a detection device 36 which is connected to the interface 29 there.
- a detection device 36 which is connected to the interface 29 there.
- registration device 38 on the recording device 12 there is a registration device 38 on the recording device 12 and a registration device 40 on the recording device 18 intended.
- These registration devices 38, 40 keep a logbook with regard to data transmission faults on the digital network 16, in particular with regard to the times of status changes in the faults. The time of a fault and the duration of such a fault are thus registered.
- the recording device 12 can then generate information as to which video data and / or audio data (corresponding to a specific period of time) were not or not successfully transmitted to the recording device 18, i. H. which part of the data stream has not been transmitted, and the recording device 18 can generate the corresponding information as to when there is a data gap in the recording due to faulty data transmission.
- the registration devices 38 and 40 are synchronized with one another via the test signals, so that the registration devices 38 and 40 contain the same information regarding the time and duration of data transmission faults on the digital network 16.
- the registration device 38 is connected to the control device 32 in order to be able to control a data transmission on the basis of the stored status information regarding data transmission malfunctions.
- the registration device 40 is connected to a control device 42 of the recording device 18, this control device 42 controlling in particular the recording by the data memory or data 30.
- the control device 42 of the recording device 18 is also connected to an evaluation device 44, via which the recorded data can be evaluated.
- the method according to the invention works as follows:
- the data is stored on the data source such as the recording device 12 independently of the recording device 18, i. H. this data recording at the data source takes place upstream of the digital network 16 and is therefore independent of any data transmission problems on the digital network 16.
- the storage capacity of the data memory 26 is selected such that at a certain data transmission rate to the digital network 16 and on the digital network 16 video data and / or audio data are recorded at the data source for a predetermined period of time.
- the predefined time period is adapted to the maximum expected time period of the data transmission disturbance. If, for example, the data transmission for the video / audio data stream is 1 Mbit per s and a maximum fault time of 8 hours is expected, the storage capacity of the data memory 26 is at least 4 GB if a security surcharge is also taken into account.
- This storage capacity should preferably be doubled in order to make it possible to write in data (to protect against data loss in the event of a possible network disruption) while reading buffered data from the data memory 26.
- FIGS. 2a and 2b schematically show the recording process during a data transmission fault 46 on the digital network 16.
- the recording device 18 does not receive any recorded data, so that there is a data gap 48 in the recording of the data memory 30.
- the fault 46 is shown as an example and is intended to symbolize every possible source of interference in the data transmission.
- the disturbance can also lie, for example, in the area of the coupling of the data memory 26 or, for example, in the network 16.
- the data accumulated during the disruption of the data transmission on the digital network 16 are thus stored in the data memory 26, so that the data gap 48 in the data memory 30 of the recording device 18 can be filled via them after the transmission disruption has been eliminated.
- the detection devices 34, 36 each of the recording device 12 and the recording device 18 recognize the fault 46 by exchanging the test signals and the corresponding status information is stored in the registration devices 38, 40, so that the data gap 48 both on the recording device 12 and on the Recording device 18 can be timed, i. H.
- the temporal start of the data gap 48 and the temporal end of the data gap 48 are known.
- An interference-free transmission on the digital network 16 is recognized by the exchange of the test signals by the test devices 34, 36. This state is indicated below the fault state 46 in FIG. 3a.
- the data gap 48 contains the data gap 48, while the missing data are present in the data recording at the data source, ie are contained in the data memory 26 (FIG. 3b).
- the corresponding data 50 are now generated by the control device 32 on the basis of the Entry in the registration device 38 is read out from the data memory 26 and transmitted on the digital network 16.
- the control device 42 of the recording device 18 places this data in the memory area of the data memory 30 which corresponds to the data gap 48 (FIG. 3c).
- the data recording on the recording device 18 is completed, ie complete data are available here without gaps and thus a complete data stream is also recorded there. This is indicated in Figure 3d.
- data gaps 48 on the recording device 18 can thus be “repaired” due to interference in the data transmission on the digital network 16, i. H. the missing data are read from the data memory 26 and written into the data memory 30. This process takes place automatically via the control devices 32 and 42, so that a complete data recording with respect to the data generated by the digital camera 20 on the recording device 18 is made possible at least with a time delay.
- a fault-tolerant network-based video / audio data recording method is provided.
- the recording device 18 detects interference in the data transmission on the digital network 16 and initiates further steps on the basis of detected interference and in particular requests data from the recording device 12.
- This data request is indicated schematically in FIG. 1 by arrow 54; the recording device 18 specifically sends corresponding signals to one via the digital network 16 Recording device such as the recording device 12 or to all recording devices 12, 14 in order to cause them to send the data missing from the recording device 18.
- the recording device 18 as the recording server therefore initiates the necessary steps itself after obtaining a transmission disturbance in order to obtain the missing data.
- the recording device 12 is “intelligent” and can itself detect faults in the digital network 16. After the detection of such a fault 16, the recording device 12 then initiates the necessary steps in order to provide the recording device 18 with the missing data. This independent provision of data is indicated in FIG. 1 by the arrows 56 for the receiving device 12 and 58 for the receiving device 14.
- the recording device 12 (or the recording device 14) then simultaneously sends current data for recording to the recording device 18 and stored data for filling a data gap on the recording device 18.
- Two types of data are therefore sent, namely current data and repair data.
- the data packets can be distinguished, for example, by means of appropriate markings such as time stamps.
- a solution in which the recording device or the recording devices determine faults and then independently provide repair data to the recording device 18 is particularly useful if, for example, a plurality of cameras 20, 22 are present.
- the data provided by a recording device 12 have an inherent time stamp in particular.
- the recording device 18 can, in particular via its control device 42, use the repair data in the correct place based on the time stamp.
- the capacity of the data memory 26 on the receiving device 12 or of the data memory 28 on the receiving device 14 is usually limited for reasons of space alone.
- the video / audio data recording method according to the invention makes it possible to increase the storage capacity at the data source by forming a virtual data memory. This is shown schematically in FIG. 6 with the aid of the receiving device 14:
- the data memory 28 of the recording device 14 has a certain capacity 52.
- the data memory or memories 30 of the recording device 18 have a much higher capacity. It is now provided according to the invention that the data memory 28 and the data memory 30 are connected. This is described by way of example using a connection via the digital network 16. As a result, the reading out of data from the data memory 28 for the transmission of this data on the digital network 16 can be logically coupled to the writing of new data into the data memory 28.
- This coupling provides the video server 24 (or in the case of the recording device 12 of the digital camera 20) with a virtual data memory, the capacity of which is greater than the physical capacity of the data memory 28 (or 26).
- a data memory with "infinite" capacity is thereby assigned to the recording device 12 or 14, wherein at least this virtual data memory has a capacity that is very much higher than the capacity of the data memory 28 of the recording device 14.
- this data is copied ⁇ d. H. the same data record is present in the data storage 28 and on the other hand it is transmitted on the digital network 16 and then stored in the data storage 30. After successful recording of this data by the recording device 18 and checking the data for intactness, the transmitted data can then be deleted from the data memory 28.
- the data is written into the data memory 28 continuously on the basis of the delivery of new data, for example by the analog camera.
- the reading process of the data from the data memory 28 for the transmission of this data on the digital network 16 to the recording device 18 can also take place continuously and in particular at the same speed as the writing of the data.
- the data are read out from the data memory 28 at time intervals in the form of data packets and are then transmitted on the digital network 16.
- This reading process is controlled in particular by the fact that a certain capacity threshold is reached, such as a capacity threshold at or below 50% of the total capacity of the data memory 28.
- the reading process (ie the copying process) then takes place at a speed which is greater than that Write speed into the data memory 28. It is preferably provided that more current data is written into the data memory 28 while older data is copied onto the digital network 16 for recording on the recording device 18.
- the memory management of the data memory 28 is then carried out according to the FIFO principle (first in, first out).
- This process of copying the data from the data memory 28 for transmission on the digital network 16 is controlled by the control device 32.
- the control device 32 is in contact with the control device 42 of the recording device 18 in order to receive a release after receipt of transmitted data by the recording device 18 if the data received by the recording device 18 are intact. After such a release, the copied data can then be deleted from the data memory 26.
- the inventive method for recording video / audio data allows the storage capacity of the recording device 14 (and any other recording devices 12) to be greatly increased. This can ensure that the data memory 28 at the data source does not reach its capacity limits.
- the process of copying data between the data memory 28 of the recording device 14 and the data memory 30 of the recording device 18 takes place invisibly or transparently for the recording device 14; only a small part of the data is actually physically located in the data memory 28 of the recording device 14. A larger part of the data is stored in the data memory 30, although the data contained in the data memory 30 can also be read out via the recording device 14. If a user wants to read out data on the recording device 14, he cannot differentiate whether the data originate directly from the data memory 28, ie are physically present there, or have been swapped out into the data memory 30 and must first be retrieved from there.
- the data storage device 30 or the recording device 18 is a central recording unit with respect to the recording devices 12 and 14, which can be used jointly by a plurality of independent recording devices in order to increase the storage capacity - virtually virtually - at the individual recording devices by the formation of a virtual data storage device ,
- the data memory 30 is arranged on a recording device 18 which is connected to the recording devices 12 and 14 via the digital network 16.
- the connection is not made via a digital network, but rather, for example, via direct wiring.
- the solution according to the invention can also intercept a disturbance in the data transmission on the digital network 16 during the data copying onto the digital network 16.
- a recording device 60 which for example comprises a video server, has a plurality of recording devices 62a, 62b, 62c, 62d etc.
- the recording devices are, in particular, cameras.
- These recording devices 62a, 62b, 62c, 62d monitor different areas, and there may be different requirements with regard to the recording duration. These requirements can be based on practical considerations or also on legal regulations. For example, there are regulations that the data for emergency exits must be kept for 90 days at certain locations. Different recording durations can therefore be provided for differently observed areas (corresponding to the different recording devices and in particular cameras 62a, 62b, 62c, 62d).
- a data memory 64 of the recording device 60 has a certain recording capacity, such as 24 hours (indicated in FIG. 8 by the upper part of the figure).
- a recording device 66 with a data memory 68 which has a considerably larger capacity than the data memory 64, serves as a recording server for the data provided by the recording device 60 via the digital network 16.
- the data memory 68 has reserved memory areas 70a, 70b, 70c, these memory areas being assigned to the corresponding recording durations.
- the storage area 70a is assigned to the recording device 62a, the storage area 70b to the recording device 62b and the storage area 70c to the recording device 62c with the corresponding recording times.
- a certain capacity limit is exceeded in the data memory 64, that is to say if, for example (as indicated in FIG. 8) 50% of the memory capacity has been reached, then, as described above, data is "swapped out" by being transferred into the recording device 66 and stored in their data storage 68.
- the virtual memory formed for the recording device 60 is indicated via the connection 72.
- the data of the recording device 62d need not be transmitted to the recording device 66, since in the numerical example given above the data memory 64 has a sufficiently large recording capacity, that is to say that data of the required length in time is always stored in the data memory 64.
- Data originating from the recording device 62c are transferred to the recording device 66 and stored there in the storage area 70b with the required recording duration (24 hours retrospectively from the current time). The same applies to the storage of the data which originate from the recording devices 62 and 62b.
- the virtual memory concept ensures that this data is recorded over the required period of time, that is to say the data is saved in the data memory 68.
- a certain amount of data is always kept “on site”, that is to say held in the data memory 64 of the recording device 60.
- the storage period that is to be assigned to a recording device 62a, 62b etc. can be set and can be set independently of the specific storage space in the data memory 68.
- the transmission rate for repair data provided to the recording device 18 or 66 is greater than the transmission rate for current data.
- Current data are those data which are transmitted to the recording device 18 or 66 without disturbing the digital network 16. This ensures that data gaps on the recording device 18 or 66 are quickly filled.
- the transmission rate for repair data is also fundamentally possible for the transmission rate for repair data to be lower than the transmission rate for current data. This makes it possible to ensure, in particular with a predetermined bandwidth, that the influence on the transmission of current data is minimized by the additional transmission of repair data. If, for example, a large amount of repair data has arisen, it is advantageous if a lower transmission rate for repair data to the recording device 18 or 66 is selected.
- the transmission rate for repair data can be set.
- the setting can be made at the data source or the recording device 18 or 66 (if this requires repair data). A flexible adaptation to the actual circumstances can be achieved in this way.
- repair data it is also possible to queue up repair data to be transferred in a staggered manner. For example, the transmission rate for repair data can then be selected depending on the length of the queue. As an alternative or in addition, it is also possible to carry out the repair data according to their Priority, which is determined, for example, by the corresponding time stamps, to be placed in the queue and then to ensure the transmission to the recording device 18 or 66.
