Method and System for Detecting and Presenting a New Event in a Video Feed

The application is directed to a video monitoring user interface that includes a first region for displaying a live or recorded video feed from a video camera and a second region for displaying an event timeline. The event timeline includes equally spaced time indicators each indicating a specific time, and a moveable current video feed indicator indicating the temporal position of the video feed displayed in the first region. The temporal position includes a past time corresponding to the previously recorded video feed and a current time corresponding to the live video feed. The event timeline is displayed with event indicators corresponding to different types of events previously detected during a period of time associated with the event timeline. When a new event is detected, a new event indicator is displayed on the event timeline with the graphic display characteristic corresponding to the event type of the new event.
