The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0033] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0034] Embodiment 1:

[0035] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a video storage method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The video storage method of this example is applied to a video recording device, the video recording device includes at least two memories for storing video recording data, the two memories respectively include their own main storage space and reserved storage space, wherein the main storage space and the reserved storage space are reserved in the form of folders, and the video recording storage method includes the following steps:

[0036] When both memories are working normally, the currently collected video data is stored in the main storage space of the first memory of the two memories in a cross-storage manner, and the video data within a predetermined time period from the current time is backed up in the reserved storage space of the second memory of the two memories;

[0037] When the main storage space of the first storage is full, the currently collected video data is stored in the main storage space of the second storage, and the reserved storage space of the second storage is cleared, and the video data within a predetermined time period is stored in the reserved storage space of the first storage;

[0038] When the memory storing the currently acquired video data of the two memories fails and the other memory does not fail, the currently acquired video data is stored in the main storage space of the memory that has not failed, and the video data within a predetermined time period is kept stored in the reserved storage space of the memory that has not failed.

[0039] In a specific implementation, currently collected video data is stored in the main storage space and backup data within a predetermined time period is stored in the reserved storage space in a cyclic manner.

[0040] In a specific implementation, the method further includes:

[0041] Automatically repair the failed storage device, and after all the storage devices are working normally, restore the cross-storage method of storing the currently collected video data in the main storage space of one storage device and storing the video data backup within a predetermined time period from the current time in the reserved storage space of another storage device.

[0042] In a specific implementation, the method further includes:

[0043] Automatically repair failed storage;

[0044] If the repair is unsuccessful, you will be prompted to replace the memory.

[0045] In a specific implementation, the step of storing the video data in the main storage space or the reserved storage space of the corresponding memory includes:

[0046] Generate video data packets;

[0047] When a new video file needs to be generated, the location of the corresponding storage is updated, and a file or folder used as the main storage space and / or reserved storage space is created at the updated location.

[0048] Embodiment 2:

[0049] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a video storage method according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The video storage method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0050] Step 1: The video recording device is connected to a first storage device and a second storage device for storing video recording data.

[0051] In a specific implementation, the video recording device may also be connected to three memories for storing video data or four memories for storing video data. In a specific implementation, one of the multiple memories may be set as a main memory for storing currently acquired video data, and the other memories may be used as reserved memories. When the memories are working normally, the currently acquired video data is stored in the main storage space of the main memory, and the backup video data within a predetermined period of time is stored in the reserved storage space of the reserved memory. If the main memory fails, one of the reserved memories may be selected as the main memory.

[0052] Step 2: Start the video recording function. After the video recording device collects the video data, it transcodes the video data to generate a video data packet. When the video data packet needs to be written into the memory, it is determined whether a new video file needs to be generated. If necessary, the addresses of the first memory and the second memory, i.e., the main memory and the reserved memory, are found, and the respective main storage space and reserved storage space are created in the two memories in the form of folders, such as Figure 3 , is a flow chart of storing video data in this embodiment.

[0053] In a specific implementation, the reserved storage space is much smaller than the main storage space.

[0054] Step three: Set the first memory as the main memory and the second memory as the reserved memory. When the main memory and the reserved memory are working normally, the currently collected video data is stored in the main storage space of the main memory, and the video data within a predetermined time period from the current time is backed up in the reserved storage space of the reserved memory through a loop storage method.

[0055] In a specific implementation, the circular storage means that when the storage space of the memory is full, the newly collected video data will overwrite the earliest video data, and the storage space will be used cyclically.

[0056] In a specific implementation, when the first memory is the main memory, if the main storage space of the main memory is full, the second memory is set as the main memory, and the first memory is set as the reserved memory, and the currently collected video data is stored in the main storage space of the main memory, and the reserved storage space of the main memory is cleared at the same time, and the video data within a predetermined time period from the current time is backed up in the reserved storage space of the reserved memory through a circular storage method.

[0057] In a specific implementation, when the second memory is the main memory, if the main storage space of the main memory is full, the first memory is set as the main memory and the second memory is set as the reserved memory, and the currently collected video data is stored in the main storage space of the main memory, while the reserved storage space of the main memory is cleared, and the video data within a predetermined time period from the current time is backed up in the reserved storage space of the reserved memory through a circular storage method.

[0058] Step 4: When the first memory is the main memory and the second memory is the reserved memory, if the first memory fails, the first memory is automatically repaired. If the damage to the first memory is irreversible, it is determined whether the second memory fails. When the second memory works normally, the second memory is set as the main memory, and the currently collected video data is stored in the main storage space of the main memory through a circular storage method, and the video data stored in the reserved storage space of the main memory within a predetermined time period is retained.

[0059] In a specific implementation, if the damage to the first memory is reversible, the original video storage method is maintained.

[0060] In a specific implementation, when the damage to the first memory is irreversible, it is prompted that the first memory needs to be replaced.

[0061] In a specific implementation, when the second memory also fails, the second memory is automatically repaired. If the damage to the second memory is irreversible, it is prompted that the first memory and the second memory need to be replaced. If the damage to the second memory is reversible, the second memory is set as the main memory, and the currently collected video data is stored in the main storage space of the main memory through a circular storage method, and the video data stored in the reserved memory of the main storage within a predetermined time period is retained.

[0062] Step 5: When the first memory is the main memory and the second memory is the reserved memory, if the second memory fails, the second memory is automatically repaired. If the damage to the second memory is reversible, the original video storage method is maintained. If the damage to the second memory is irreversible, the first memory is set as the main memory, and a prompt is given that the second memory needs to be replaced. At the same time, the currently collected video data is stored in the main storage space of the main memory through a circular storage method.

[0063] By utilizing the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the storage of the video data will not be affected during the failure and replacement of the memory of the video recording device, thereby reducing the risk of data loss. In addition, when the total storage capacity remains unchanged, the use of multiple memories will not increase the cost. At the same time, the reserved storage space takes up a smaller storage space in the memory in the form of a folder, which not only does not destroy the wear balancing mechanism of the memory, but also has a minimal impact on the storage capacity of the memory, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the memory and improving the service life of the memory.
