The invention provides an intelligent video perimeter rail 
system and a control method thereof, belonging to the technical field of 
video monitoring. The intelligent video perimeter rail 
system comprises front-end subsystems, a middle transmission subsystem, and a back-end center monitoring subsystem. Each front-end subsystem consists of an automatic tracer and a plurality of fixed video alarms; the middle transmission subsystem consists of a 
wireless router, a switchboard and a 
transmission cable; the back-end center monitoring subsystem comprises a center 
server, a monitoring host and a 
client; the front-end subsystems are connected in a wired, 
wireless or combined wired and 
wireless transmission manner; and the front-end subsystems are connected with the back-end center monitoring subsystem in a wired, wireless or combined wired and 
wireless transmission manner. Intelligent analyzing modules are arranged in the video alarms and the automatic tracer in an embedded mode, thereby reducing a report negative rate and a 
false positive rate in a traditional solution. The intelligent video perimeter rail 
system records and alarms after an abnormal target enters a prevention area through intelligent analysis, so that the network bandwidth is effectively reduced; the cost is reduced; and the technical defects and problems in automatic alarming, tracing, recording triggered by alarming, real-time transmission long-distance monitoring can be solved.
