AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The process is imprecise in timing, and if the operator makes a mistake, they have to start over from the beginning and re-record the pattern, which is frustrating and inefficient
Furthermore, this approach does not allow the user to modify the schema after it has been recorded, thereby creating further frustration and inefficiency should the schema have to change, even if the change is small

Embodiment Construction

[0034] refer to figure 1 , the video surveillance system 10 has a network 12, which may be a closed network, a local area network, or a wide area network such as the Internet. A plurality of cameras 14, 16 and 18 are connected to network 12 to provide real-time video streams. A workstation 22 , which may be, for example, a control point in the supervisory system 10 , a personal computer, or a user who logs into the supervisory system 10 by means of a laptop is connected to the network 12 . Cameras 14 , 16 and 18 provide video streams to workstation 22 via network 12 . Memory 20 is connected to network 12 and can be part of another workstation, control point, network manager, system memory, or other suitable device. One or more cameras 14, 16 and 18 may be movable cameras such as PTZ cameras that allow user adjustments for pan, tilt and zoom of the camera and may have their own memory for storing preset and travel information.

Abstract

A method of configuring a camera to view a sequence of positions comprising the steps of displaying a graphical user interface, displaying a plurality of thumbnails on the graphical user interface with the plurality of thumbnails having associated respective positions of the camera and the respective thumbnails in the plurality of thumbnails providing the field of view of the camera in the respective positions, providing a workspace on the graphical user interface, enabling a user to drag and drop thumbnails to the workspace, and creating a tour for the camera based on the thumbnails in the workspace.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to video surveillance, and more particularly to a sequence of camera positions that configure cameras, known in the art as a tour or pattern. Background technique [0002] Typically, users configure safe camera trips by making selections from a named preset list; however, it is difficult to convey the view from the camera using words alone. Another option is to manually move the camera through the sequence and pause at each position by using the pan, tilt and zoom controls. The process is imprecise in timing, and if the operator makes a mistake, they must start over from the beginning and re-record the pattern, which is frustrating and inefficient. Furthermore, this approach does not allow the user to modify the schema after it has been recorded, thereby creating further frustration and inefficiency should the schema have to be changed, even if the change is small. [0003] Therefore, there is a need in the art...
