A video camera system including: one or more video cameras; a video recorder in communication with each of the one or more video cameras; a video analytics module, the video analytics module being a computer program product embodied on a computer readable medium, the computer program product including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations including: obtaining video parameters of a plurality of video frames received at the video recorder, the plurality of video frames being transmitted from the one or more video cameras to the video recorder; determining an abnormality within the video parameters; and identifying a malfunctioning video camera of the one or more video cameras that produced the abnormality within the video parameters.

Methods and systems for detecting and monitoring memory card performance characteristics. A method for detecting memory card performance characteristics includes obtaining at least one memory card performance characteristic from a memory card when the memory card is inserted in an image capture device, determining whether the at least one memory card performance characteristic meets a defined image capture device requirement, and providing an alert when the at least one memory card performance characteristic fails to match the defined image capture device requirement.

An automatic evaluating apparatus of a build-in video recording device of a vehicle includes: a processor configured to automatically evaluate performance of the built-in video recording device of the vehicle interworking with a vehicle display device; and a storage configured to store data and algorithms driven by the processor.

The video recording system comprises a video recorder and one or more cameras which is specially designed to record video on the exterior and interior of a locomotive. The system is capable of withstanding the railroad environment, and has been designed to maximize safety and to minimize liability. The video recording system is capable of recording video on at least two drives (same video or different video on at least two drives) thereby creating redundancy in case one of the videos is unclear and/or damaged.

Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to monitor for and alert the occurrence of pre-failure indicators at a set-top box (STB) disk. Results of self-monitoring tests, short tests, and maximum/minimum performance tests may be used to identify the potential for a STB disk failure. Moreover, critical error events at the STB may be logged, and the health of the STB disk may be determined based on the logged critical error events. Test results and critical error event logs may be used to predict an impending failure of a STB disk, and a notification may be output to a user or technician indicating the potential need to replace the STB or STB disk.

A measurement recording system is configured to measure timing information for correcting out-of-synchronization of a time axis between a first captured video and a second captured video and correct the out-of-synchronization to align the start timing between the first captured video and the second captured video based on the measured timing information.

The present application provides a method and apparatus for monitoring a device state. The method includes: detecting one or more current values of one or more state parameters; for each state parameter of the one or more state parameters, determining whether the current value of the state parameter changes relative to a recorded value of the state parameter; and reporting the current value of the state parameter to a client through a connection between the present device and the client in response to determining that the current value of the state parameter changes relative to the recorded value of the state parameter.
