The invention provides an event-oriented intelligent camera monitoring method. The method includes the steps that after video capture is conducted, processing is carried out, three code streams are obtained, the three code streams include a low-resolution video, high-definition images which are spaced by a plurality of seconds and a high-definition moving object image, and the three code streams are displayed on a display terminal independently or are displayed on the display terminal after being overlaid and fused. By means of the event-oriented intelligent camera monitoring method, one video which is much shorter than an original video can be provided, and the browsing time is greatly shortened; event clues can be searched for quickly according to the information such as time, and thus the investigation and evidence collection efficiency is improved; space information in the scene is fully utilized, space-time redundancy in the video is reduced, events which happen at different periods of time are displayed at the same time, and activities in the video can be understood and grasped easily; activities and events in the original video cannot be lost, and the effects that fast playing can be achieved and video information cannot be lost are achieved; the code stream bandwidth and the definition of special areas are both considered, hence, powerful support is provided for evidence collection after events, and a wide application requirement for the method can be met in the video security and protection monitoring field.
