A method and system provides centralized redundant monitoring suitable for effectively recording and tracking video monitoring systems at a plurality of remote surveillance locations. The method and system are configured to track, monitor, capture, and record video originating from transportation vehicles using a novel technological configuration that minimizes overall and sub-system downtime relative to conventional technologies. The remote surveillance locations are capable of utilizing self-healing and recovery mechanisms and reporting status information to the centralized monitoring system. The centralized monitoring system can use information received from the remote surveillance locations to remotely monitor the status of the remote surveillance systems, to initiate remotely self-healing and recovery mechanisms, and request previously recorded surveillance data and live surveillance data in real time.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an information processing device that realizes more suitable ease of use. To accomplish the purpose, there is provided an information processing device provided with a video input unit for acquiring image data from an optical image, a signal receiver unit for acquiring a position computation signal, a communication unit for transmitting the image data, a first memory unit for storing position information pertaining to a place to which the image data is not transmitted, and a control unit for controlling the execution of image data transmission on the basis of the position information acquired from the position calculation signal and the position information stored in the first storage unit.

The disclosure relates to the field of intelligent home, and particularly to an indoor monitoring method, device and system, a storage medium and a camera device. The method includes: controlling a camera device to acquire monitoring images at consecutive times in a room; identifying a first monitoring image at a previous time and a second monitoring image at a current time, and identifying items corresponding to the first monitoring image and the second monitoring image and positions of the items, respectively; determining whether a position of an item changes according to the position of the item in the first monitoring image and the position of the item in the second monitoring image; and generating item record information of the item when it is determined that the position of the item changes, wherein the item record information represents movement of the item in the room. In this way, the item record information helps the user to record the relevant information of the item, so as to ensure that the user can quickly find the corresponding item.

A method and monitoring center for monitoring occurrence of events in a monitored area, where a monitoring equipment displays information that reflects sensor data reported from sensors in the monitored area. When the monitoring center detects an abnormal event, it identifies a set of sensors which are potentially impacted by the event, and triggers the sensors to enter a vigilance state of elevated operation and to deliver enhanced sensor data. Further, a representation of the abnormal event is auto-zoomed on the monitoring equipment based on the enhanced sensor data from the sensors to increase resolution of the displayed representation.

Alarm system arrangements (e.g., methods, apparatus, etc.) including receiving data originating from an entity located outside of a monitored premise, the data providing information detailing an impending request for temporary access of the monitored premise; and using the data to determine a predefined access plan to allow the temporary access to a predefined sub-area of the premises without triggering an alarm event, and to implement the predefined access plan at a time of receipt of an actual request for the temporary access. One example involves using the data to determine a predefined access plan which includes temporarily disabling of the alarm system's ability to recognize an alarm event with respect to activities occurring with respect to a predefined sub-area of the premises during the temporary access, and to implement the predefined access plan at a time relative to receipt of an actual request for the temporary access.

A system includes a server, a user device, and a monitoring device. The monitoring device can be configured to obtain an image stream of at least a part of the room, where the image stream includes a first image and a second image that is subsequent to the first image in the image stream; identify first states based on the first image; identify second states based on the second image; compare the first states to the second states to identify a first active state; and, in response to identifying the first active state, transmit a first notification to the server. The first notification can include the second image. The server can be configured to, responsive to receiving the first notification, transmit the second image to the user device. As mentioned above, active states encompass active states and persistent states.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for detecting an intrusion at a premises. One of the methods includes determining, by an intrusion detection system and using data captured by one or more sensors that are physically located at a premises, a predicted intruder physical location of a likely intruder at the premises; determining, by the intrusion detection system, a predicted non-intruder physical location of a person at the premises who is not the likely intruder; selecting, by the intrusion detection system and using the predicted intruder physical location and the predicted non-intruder physical location, one or more shared sensors from a plurality of sensors physically located at the premises, the plurality of sensors including the one or more sensors; and providing, by the intrusion detection system and to another system, data captured by the one or more shared sensors.

A video surveillance system may include at least one sensing unit capable of being operated in a scanning mode and a video processing unit coupled to the sensing unit, the video processing unit to receive and process image data from the sensing unit and to detect scene events and target activity.

The present invention enables one to easily set an image capturing condition, and to easily grasp a state of a captured image. For doing so, an instruction of either a zooming-in control or a zooming-out control of the image capturing apparatus, is determined based on a position relation of a first coordinate and a second coordinate instructed with respect to an image from the image capturing apparatus displayed on a display unit. The image capturing apparatus is controlled based on the result of that determination, the first coordinates and the second coordinates.

An object monitoring method and device are provided. The object monitoring method includes: a sound production reason for the target sound is determined when a target sound exists in acquired sounds; and sound production information is pushed to a mobile terminal, the sound production information comprising the sound production reason.
