Systems and Methods for an Automated Cloud-Based Video Surveillance System

Systems and methods for managing local data for input capture devices (ICDs) over communication network are disclosed. At least one ICD and at least one user device are connected to a cloud-based analytics platform communicatively over a network. The at least one ICD has at least one visual sensor and built-in storage that captures and stores visual data at the built-in storage. The cloud-based analytics platform accesses to the visual data stored at the built-in storage and performs analytics for the captured visual data and generates analytics data. An authorized user is able to view live visual data and manage stored visual data at the at least one ICD via the at least one user device.
