Viakoo awarded US patent for surveillance data validation

Physical security system performance specialist Viakoo has been awarded a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), covering methods for independently calculating the actual time period of retention for an individual video data stream on a recording system.

Physical security system performance specialist Viakoo has been awarded a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), covering methods for independently calculating the actual time period of retention for an individual video data stream on a recording system. Viakoo has implemented this patent in its products to automatically detect, track and validate video retention compliance (VRC) as a key performance metric.
 
The automation replaces methods currently being used which rely on manual processes, simple checks of time stamps on oldest files, or assertions from the video management software on when it thinks it deleted data. These methods are subject to significant error and are unable to detect tampering.

As the company points out, all surveillance cameras were analog 20 years ago. They delivered video via a coaxial cable to a recorder that stored the video on a tape. It was in 1996 that Axis Communications invented the network camera, which made it possible to connect a video camera directly to
