Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of monitoring technology, and in particular to a camera monitoring and playback viewing method, device, equipment and medium. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of security and anti-theft awareness, residents have installed smart monitoring and alarm devices in their homes, offices and storage areas. Smart monitoring and alarm devices have provided great convenience in deterring criminals and investigating cases afterwards.

[0003] Current intelligent monitoring and alarm devices can capture images of the monitored area through cameras and determine whether there are any dangerous situations through image processing. For example, if a person stays at the door of a residence for too long, it will trigger the alarm signal of the intelligent monitoring and alarm device. The intelligent monitoring and alarm device then sends an alarm message number to the terminal device held by the user, allowing the user to view the images captured by the camera.

[0004] There is a time difference from when the user receives the alarm message through the terminal device until the user clicks the alarm message to view it on the user's terminal device. When the user's motor alarm message is directly loaded into the live broadcast screen, the person or object that triggered the alarm may have left the camera's monitoring area. At this time, the user needs to exit the live broadcast screen and then click the alarm message again to retrieve the camera's video, and then view the video clip that just generated the alarm according to the alarm time. The operation is cumbersome and the content of the alarm message cannot be known in the first time. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies in the prior art and to provide a method, device, equipment and medium for viewing camera monitoring and playback.

[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined, and the meaning of "several" is one or more.

[0042] See also Figure 1 , which is a flow chart of a camera monitoring and playback viewing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the camera monitoring and playback viewing method includes:

[0043] S1: respond to the received monitoring viewing instruction;

[0044] S2: Load the real-time monitoring image of the camera and the monitoring video captured by the camera when the alarm signal is triggered.

[0045] S3: Display the real-time monitoring screen through the video playback interface;

[0046] S4: The video playback interface switches to display the real-time monitoring screen or the monitoring video based on the received video switching instruction.

[0047] Preloading the camera's real-time surveillance footage and the surveillance footage captured by the camera when the alarm signal is triggered helps reduce subsequent user waiting time. Furthermore, switching between the real-time surveillance footage and the surveillance footage captured when the alarm signal is triggered on the video playback interface allows users to quickly determine the situation, reducing operation time and making it easier for users to view the real-time surveillance footage and the surveillance video playback, allowing users to quickly confirm the situation and improving the user experience. In this embodiment, the video playback interface is also equipped with a visual operation interface, which is mapped to the touch area of ​​the user's touch screen or to the operation button.

[0048] See also Figure 2 , which is a flow chart of steps S41-S42 of a camera monitoring and playback viewing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some optional implementations, the step of displaying the real-time monitoring image through the video playback interface includes:

[0049] The video playback interface includes a large window and a small window, wherein the large window displays the real-time monitoring image and the small window displays the monitoring video;

[0050] After receiving the video switching instruction, the step of switching the video playback interface to display the real-time monitoring screen or the monitoring video includes:

[0051] S41: When the large window displays the real-time monitoring screen, if a video switching instruction is received, the screen displayed in the large window is switched to the monitoring video, and the screen displayed in the small window is switched to the real-time monitoring screen;

[0052] S42: When the large window displays the surveillance video, if a video switching instruction is received, the image displayed in the large window is switched to the real-time surveillance image, and the image displayed in the small window is switched to the surveillance video.

[0053] Users can access real-time monitoring images and surveillance videos taken by the camera when the alarm signal is triggered on the same video playback interface, eliminating the hassle of users having to exit the live broadcast and then click again to view the playback message.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, the step of loading the real-time monitoring image of the camera and the monitoring video captured by the camera when the alarm signal is triggered includes:

[0055] At the same time, the real-time monitoring picture of the camera and the monitoring video shot by the camera when the alarm signal is triggered are loaded.

[0056] Since the video playback interface plays the real-time monitoring picture and the monitoring video at the same time, the simultaneous loading can reduce the user's waiting process and improve the user experience.

[0057] In some optional embodiments, the surveillance video includes at least the video captured by the camera within a first preset time point before the alarm signal is triggered and the video captured by the camera within a second preset time point after the alarm signal is triggered. In order to increase the speed of video transmission and facilitate users to quickly confirm the situation, the first preset time point and the second preset time point can be designed to be shorter. For example, the first preset time point can be 5 seconds and the second preset time point can be 5 seconds. That is, the surveillance video includes at least the video captured by the camera within 5 seconds before the alarm signal is triggered and within 5 seconds after the alarm signal is triggered, thereby facilitating users to quickly confirm the situation. Of course, the first preset time point and the second preset time point can be appropriately designed according to actual needs and are not limited to the above.

[0058] It should be noted that steps S2 and S3 can be performed simultaneously.

[0059] In addition, in some optional embodiments, when the small window displays the surveillance video, the small window only displays the video captured by the camera within a first preset time point before the alarm signal is triggered and the video captured by the camera within a second preset time point after the alarm signal is triggered, and when the large window displays the surveillance video, the large window also displays the video captured by the camera before the first preset time point before the alarm signal is triggered and the video captured by the camera after the second preset time point after the alarm signal is triggered. This design is beneficial for allowing users to confirm the real-time surveillance image in the large window, avoiding excessive network occupancy due to surveillance video loading when the network environment is poor. While confirming the surveillance video in the large window, users can also play back and view the surveillance video at other times, thereby facilitating judgment of the situation.

[0060] In some optional embodiments, the step of loading the real-time monitoring image of the camera and the monitoring video captured by the camera when the alarm signal is triggered includes:

[0061] First, the real-time monitoring image of the camera is loaded, and then the monitoring video shot by the camera when the alarm signal is triggered is loaded.

[0062] Since the network conditions are sometimes poor, loading the real-time monitoring screen and the surveillance video at the same time may affect the loading speed of both. Therefore, the real-time monitoring screen is loaded first. When the user views the real-time monitoring screen, the surveillance video can be pre-loaded, so that the user can view the real-time monitoring screen and then replay the surveillance video, eliminating the waiting process for the surveillance video to load and improving the user experience.

[0063] In some optional embodiments, the step of reloading the surveillance video captured by the camera when the alarm signal is triggered includes:

[0064] After the video playback interface completes displaying the real-time monitoring picture, the monitoring video captured by the camera when the alarm signal is triggered is loaded.

[0065] When network bandwidth is poor, it helps users first confirm the current real-time status and then make a judgment, improving the user experience. Of course, before loading real-time monitoring images and surveillance videos, you can first check the network bandwidth status and choose whether to load the real-time monitoring images and surveillance videos simultaneously or sequentially based on the network bandwidth status.

[0066] See also Figure 3 , which is a flow chart of steps S31-S33 of a camera monitoring and playback viewing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some optional implementations, the step of displaying the real-time monitoring image through the video playback interface includes:

[0067] S31: Determine the time when the alarm signal is triggered and the time when the monitoring viewing instruction is received;

[0068] S32: If the interval between the time when the alarm signal is triggered and the time when the monitoring viewing instruction is received is not greater than a preset reference time, displaying the real-time monitoring image through a video playback interface;

[0069] S33: If the interval between the time when the alarm signal is triggered and the time when the monitoring viewing instruction is received is greater than a preset reference time, the monitoring video is displayed through a video playback interface.

[0070] Because users may not have enough time to acknowledge an alarm or check the situation, if the interval is longer than the preset reference time, it means that some time has passed since the alarm signal was issued, and the person or object that caused the alarm signal may no longer be in the monitoring area. Directly reviewing the video helps confirm the cause of the alarm signal. Therefore, it is better to play the surveillance video first. Alternatively, the surveillance video can be played in the large window first, while the real-time surveillance video can be played in the small window. If the user quickly confirms the alarm signal, the person or object that caused the alarm signal may still be in the monitoring area. In this case, the real-time surveillance video can be played first. Alternatively, the real-time surveillance video can be played in the large window first, while the surveillance video can be played in the small window.

[0071] The reference time can be appropriately designed according to actual needs, such as 30s.
