Assignee:

Logitech Europe S.A.

International Classification:

H04N 5/225

US Classification:

348375, 348373, 348151

Abstract:

This invention allows a video network camera to be mounted directly against a window or other transparent surface without any additional mounting hardware. The network camera can be mounted both inside and outside of a window without additional mounting hardware. A novel mounting apparatus in conjunction with an adjustable video sensor allows the user to quickly mount and make adjustments to the viewing angle of the network camera, thus reducing installation time and installation costs. In addition, the network camera can be mounted to walls, ceilings and other surfaces as necessary by using a second mounting assembly.

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709232000

Abstract:

A data networking system and method which allows efficient use of bandwidth for data streams such as video and audio. This invention allows network nodes to dynamically identify changing network conditions which are typical on wireless and power line networks. The system and method dynamically adapt to the changes which affect network bandwidth by changing compression rates, compression types, audio/video quality, motion masks, throughput for specific connections, or mass storage of data streams until the network is capable of sending the data. The result is an improved system that requires little or no user intervention as network conditions change.

US Classification:

375240010, 348143000, 348152000

Abstract:

A video surveillance system includes one or more cameras communicatively coupled to a control system via a dual use medium. The video surveillance system includes a setup mode, a live viewing mode, a record mode, and a search/playback mode, some of which may operate simultaneously. In a live viewing mode, a user can view video data from one or more cameras using a graphical user interface. In the record mode, a user can independently set the record modes and schedules of the cameras, specify multiple motion detection zones per camera, and record in panic mode. In the search/playback mode, a user can search for and view, previously recorded video segments and perform file operations on the recorded video segments.
