Summary:Systems and methods to manage memory in a surveillance system are disclosed. The present invention discloses a rule-based storage clearance system or storage archive. A storage server has a user interface, a logic unit, and a storage device. A plurality of video footage files is continuously being streamed to the storage server and recorded on the storage device. The objective is to help erase or archive stored video footage based on static and dynamic surveillance parameters or rules. The rules can be applied either stream-wise or time-wise. The rule checks for clearing or archiving the storage by tallying various parameters such as: events associated with each stream, user bookmarks, the priority of individual streams, and the age of each stream, etc.
