Abstract: A monitoring system including N cameras, a digital video recorder (DVR), a monitor, a remote controller, a receiver and a host is provided. N is a positive integer. The N cameras successively shoot N sceneries, and output N successive images accordingly. The DVR receives and stores the N successive images. The monitor displays a monitoring screen. The remote controller outputs a wireless remote signal. The receiver receives the wireless remote signal and outputs a wire transmit signal accordingly. The host controls the monitor to display at least the successive image in the monitoring screen. The host has an on screen display (OSD) program. When the controller receives the wire transmit signal, the host utilizes the OSD program to process the wire transmit signal to become a screen adjusting signal. The host adjusts the monitoring screen according to the screen adjusting signal.

Abstract: A system is provided for testing and enhancing the alertness of operators who monitor video surveillance imagery. Alertness is tested by displaying any of a variety of visual elements on top of or near the video imagery, and receiving input from human operators in response to the visual elements, via one or more input devices. The system further allows for economic management of human operators by transmitting imagery from many video sources to any number of operators. Video feeds are automatically switched, via software, away from an operator who wishes to take a break or has poor alertness. In this fashion, the system maximizes operator vigilance while also maximizing workflow for all available operators.

Abstract translation: 提供了一个系统，用于测试和增强监控视频监控图像的操作员的警觉性。 通过在视频图像的顶部或附近显示各种视觉元素，并通过一个或多个输入设备接收来自人类操作者的响应于视觉元素的输入来测试警觉性。 该系统还允许通过将许多视频源的图像传输给任何数量的运营商来进行人类经营者的经济管理。 视频馈送通过软件自动切换到希望休息或缺乏警觉性的运营商。 以这种方式，该系统最大限度地提高操作员的警惕性，同时最大限度地提高所有可用操作员的工作流

Abstract: A personal computer is a control device, which provides master camera direction information that instructs a direction of a master camera selected from camera devices to the camera devices including the master camera. Each camera device stores relative position information about the camera itself and the other cameras. The each camera device transforms master camera direction information to slave camera direction information based on relative position information when one of the other cameras is the master camera. The slave camera direction information is that of a direction that allows a camera to follow the master camera as a slave camera. The each camera device controls a rotating mechanism of the camera in accordance with the master camera direction information when it is the master camera, and in accordance with the slave camera direction information when it is not the master camera.

Abstract: The present invention is a security monitoring system which effectively monitors a large number of areas in a cost effective manner using already existing communications infrastructure. More specifically, the method and apparatus of the present invention warns at least one security post of an undesired condition at a monitored area by sending a fax of an image of the monitored area via a phone line and/or by sending an E-mail of a color image via a global telecommunications network such as the Internet. Generally, the present invention includes a camera for creating a first image of the monitored area at a first time point and for creating a second image of the monitored area at a second time point. In addition, a data storage device stores the first image and the second image, and an image processor, coupled to the data storage device, compares the first image with the second image. A modem, coupled to the image processor, sends a fax of the second image to the at least one security post if the second image is substantially different from the first image. The present invention may further send via the modem a JPEG color image of the second image as an electronic mail to a predetermined security post if the second image is substantially different from the first image.

Abstract: A method of storing, analyzing and accessing video data from the surveillance cameras operated by multiple, unrelated users is provided. Data storage and analysis is performed by an independent system remotely located at a third party site, the third party site and the users connected via a network. Users access stored video data using any of a variety of devices coupled to the network. In one aspect, users submit configuration instructions which govern how long their data is to be stored, the frequency of data acquisition/storage, data communication parameters/protocols, and video resolution. In another aspect, users remotely obtain from the third party system a graphical view of the video data acquired from a particular camera, the graphical view showing the activity monitored by the camera versus time. In yet another aspect, users submit zone configuration instructions to the third party system. In yet another aspect, users remotely submit rules of analysis, such as time-based and/or shaped-based rules, to be applied to their acquired video data by the third party system.
