Physical security system performance specialist Viakoo has been awarded a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), covering methods for independently calculating the actual time period of retention for an individual video data stream on a recording system. Viakoo has implemented this patent in its products to automatically detect, track and validate video retention compliance (VRC) as a key performance metric.
