Abstract
An Interactive System is provided, which according to one embodiment enhances Video Surveillance Systems by automatically and/or manually capturing Live and/or Recorded Video and enabling ease of speedy review of Surveillance Video and/or Images and providing means to take several next steps, it being inferred that regular review helps 'discover'exceptions that would otherwise be missed out by most Video Surveillance Systems. The said System, in another embodiment, enables the user to backup Surveillance Video in one or more formats including but not limited to Images at on one or more locations including but not limited to a Computer, Storage Device, Local Server, Local Drive, a Network Drive, an FTP Server, or a Cloud Service like Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and/or from a Camera, Mobile Device, and so on, and such present or future technologies that are available, or may be available at any time in the future. The said System, in another embodiment, enables to create Standardized Intelligent Incident Reports which inter alia, contain the entire narrative about an Incident - the 5 Ws and 1 H (What, Where, When, Why, Who and How) in standard universally acceptable formats including but not limited to MS PowerPoint, PDF (Portable Document Format), RTF (Rich Text Format), Google Docs, and so on, which can contain the entire set of Images and/or Videos pertaining to the Incident and which can be easily shared amongst the concerned stakeholders/Law Enforcement. The said System further enables the user to draw inferences, inter alia using heuristic methods, with respect to one or more aspects of the Incident including but not limited to the Type of the Incident, its Date, Time, Location, Peculiarity, and so on. These inferences, inter alia, help in deriving 'Patterns' which include but are not limited to the kind of Incidents occurring at a particular day, time, location, and so on, which enable concerned Stakeholders/Law Enforcement to take corrective/preventive measures. It is inferred that the said System in its respective embodiments, inter alia, would help prevent crime and losses, reduce operational risks, improve business processes and sales, as well as help solve crime faster.
