Abstract

A video stream is received over a network from a remotely located video capture device. The video stream is processed in real-time or near real time. The processing of the video stream extracts at least one metric from content of the video stream. The extracted metric is compared against at least one previously established value to generate either a TRUE or a FALSE result. Responsive to a TRUE result, at least one programmatic action is automatically initiated. The previously established value, the programmatic action, or both are user configurable. The programmatic action is a real time or a near real time action resulting from analyzing content of the video stream. Responsive to a FALSE comparison result, the at least one programmatic action is not automatically initiated.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
one or more computers receiving a video stream over a network from a remotely located video capture device;
at least one of the one or more computers processing the video stream in real-time or near real time, wherein the processing of the video stream extracts at least one metric from content of the video stream, wherein the one or more computers process the video stream using an application program interface (API), wherein the proces…
