The disclosed techniques include systems and methods for implementing security cameras with thermal imaging sensors. The disclosed techniques can utilize a thermal imaging sensor (TIS) and a less robust passive infrared (PIR) sensor of a security camera system to monitor a field of view.

A video recording device (video camera), a stand (magnetic support) and a wall/ceiling attachment is disclosed. The video recorder consists of a video camera with a high-quality sensor and a lens with a wide field of view. It is placed in a spherical housing with a semi-transparent stealth segment window. The video recording device is fixed on the stand using a magnetic holder, which allows one to orient and fix the video camera within 360 degrees around the vertical axis and within 0-180 degrees around the horizontal axis. The wall/ceiling mounting bracket (attachment) makes it possible to place the video camera on vertical (inner wall of the room, walls of cabinets, furniture, etc.), horizontal (ceiling of the room) and inclined surfaces of any configuration. The device is capable of video recording in insufficient and reduced illumination conditions of a room.

This application relates to systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for a system with cameras and mirrors that can be utilized with an auto-checkout system within a retail environment. This system with cameras and mirrors is designed to have many functions within a store with auto-checkout system and sometimes can be utilized in a store with or without human cashier.

Provided is a surveillance system including a communication module configured to receive a plurality of pieces of image data obtained by a plurality of camera modules, receive a multiple image data request from a client terminal, and transmit a multiple image data response including multiple image data to the client terminal; and a processer configured to generate the multiple image data by scaling the plurality of pieces of image data in response to the multiple image data request and combining a plurality of pieces of scaled image data, wherein the plurality of camera modules share one internet protocol (IP) address.

Provided is a monitoring system and a method of controlling a panning-tilt zoom (PTZ) camera by using a fisheye camera when the fisheye camera and the PTZ camera are adjacently installed. The method includes selecting a region of interest (ROI) in an entire surveillance-target area image captured by the fisheye camera and adjusting a panning angle P and a tilting angle T of the PTZ camera to acquire an accurate image of the selected ROI.

The present invention relates to an image surveillance apparatus applied with a moving-path tracking technique using a multi camera and, more specifically, to an image surveillance apparatus applied with a moving-path tracking technique using a multi camera, the image surveillance apparatus comprising a plurality of surround cameras arranged in a horizontal direction and a central camera located at the center of the surround cameras, wherein arrangements of the surround cameras and the central camera are restricted, a blind spot during surveillance of the image surveillance apparatus is minimized, and detection and automatic tracking of a moving object to be tracked are possible.

Techniques are disclosed to identify a previously-not-present stationary object within a sequence of image frames. A system determines a first frame of the plurality of image frames where an object is not within a field of view of the camera of the A/V device. The system then analyzes other frames to determine that the object becomes present and is stationary within the field of view of the camera. The system may identify a person approaching and moving away from the A/V device. The system may identify a stationary vehicle within and subsequently not within the field of view of the camera. The system may use identification of the parcel to generate a control signal that changes the operational mode of the A/V device to parcel protect mode.

The disclosure includes a security system including an outdoor security device. In some embodiments, the outdoor security device comprises a housing, a light coupled to the housing and located within a hollow inner portion of the housing, and a camera and a lens coupled to the housing. In some embodiments, the security device comprises at least one directional microphone communicatively coupled to the camera and configured to determine a location of a detected sound whereby the camera performs a frame lock to capture an image associated with the detected sound.

Systems and methods are provided for measuring, assessing, predicting, improving and presenting the state of physical object temperatures using imaging devices, e.g., a thermal infrared camera, and/or intruders in a region of interest to an operator, such that little or no operator effort is required to install, use or receive reports from the system. The invention also includes, for example, means and methods for exploiting autonomous operation and configuration, placement at remote sites, enhancement of image resolution and estimation of range such that accuracy of results and autonomy of operation is enhanced.

An image processing apparatus (client apparatus) includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain a fisheye image captured by an imaging unit including a fisheye lens, a detection unit configured to detect an object having a specific size as a detection target object from the fisheye image obtained by the obtaining unit, and a setting unit configured to set a size of the detection target object to be detected by the detection unit based on a distance from a reference position in the fisheye image and a height at which the imaging unit is installed.
