Embodiment Construction

[0028] The invention relates to a monitoring system capable of capturing different image views when in different monitoring modes. These monitoring modes can be, for example, a first mode and a second mode, the first mode being an overview mode and the second mode being a detailed mode. The overview mode can be a wide-angle mode, and the detail mode can be a view with a narrower field of view. To achieve these different monitoring modes, according to one embodiment, the monitoring system may include two separate cameras or camera heads. However, according to another embodiment, the monitoring system comprises one camera head, but is arranged to be operable in said overview mode and detailed mode, respectively.

[0029] refer to figure 1 , according to an embodiment, the monitoring system is a monitoring camera 10 , such as a dome camera, and the monitoring camera 10 includes a camera head 12 , a transparent dome cover 14 and a dome base 16 . Camera head 12 is capable of pan...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for switching viewing modes in a camera. The present invention relates to a method for switching operation of a monitoring system from a first monitoring mode to a second monitoring mode, comprises presenting an overview image when monitoring system is in first monitoring mode, receiving a direction signal from a control means when monitoring system is in first monitoring mode, directing a camera in an absolute direction indicated by said direction signal in accordance with a first camera control scheme, entering monitoring system into second monitoring mode in response to receiving said direction signal presenting a detailed image view captured by the camera when directed in the direction indicated by said direction signal, and moving, when in second monitoring mode, a camera head of the camera in response to control signals from the control means in accordance with a second control scheme.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a monitoring camera, in particular to a method for switching between multiple camera observation modes. Background technique [0002] Some surveillance cameras allow the camera to operate in different viewing modes. In order to switch between these modes, specific keys on the keyboard or specific keys on the control device are assigned to such operations. Using keys or keys to switch viewing modes can lead to minor problems, such as difficulty for novice operators to remember which key or key performs a different action. Therefore, it would be beneficial to provide an alternative and possibly more intuitive way of switching between different viewing modes. Contents of the invention [0003] It is an object of the present invention to provide an alternative method of switching viewing modes while operating a camera. [0004] This object is achieved by a method according to claim 1 . Further embodiments of the invention are...
