US 10,121,069 B2 · Method of switching video images and surveillance system

Abstract

The disclosure provides a method of switching video images and a surveillance system. The method includes the following steps. A first video image is displayed in a monitoring interface. Whether a target object in the first video image enters into a designated region in the first video image is determined. Whether a ratio of the targeted object to the first video image is smaller than or equal to a first threshold is determined when the target object enters into the designated region. When the ratio is smaller than or equal to the first threshold, a second video image is displayed in the monitoring interface. The designated region in the first video image is related to a geographic position, and the second video image is a video image related to the geographic position.
