Method and apparatus for surveillance using location-tracking imaging devices

A method of tracking a position of a terminal located indoors, the method comprising:

• storing position information of at least one wireless network camera installed indoors;
• collecting information about a terminal located in a range capable of wireless communication with the at least one wireless network camera through the wireless communication;
• controlling the at least one wireless network camera to track a position of the terminal based on the information about the terminal;
• displaying on a map a location of the terminal and information about the terminal;
• and
• displaying on the map the collected identification information and position information of the terminal and position tracking information of the terminal, which is performed by the map display,
• wherein the controlling comprises
• controlling a wireless network camera to track a position of the terminal based on the information about the terminal while the terminal is in a range capable of wireless communication with the wireless network camera, and
• controlling the first wireless network camera to send identification information of the terminal to a neighboring wireless network camera when the terminal moves out of the range capable of wireless communication with the wireless network camera.

A Security management device comprising:

• a map display configured to store information about a position of at least one wireless network camera installed indoors;
• the map display configured to display on a map a position of the at least one wireless network camera as well as a movement path about a terminal located in a range capable of wireless communication with the at least one wireless network camera;
• at least one processor including:
• an object information recognizer receiving information about a terminal from the at least one wireless network camera, the information about the terminal being collected by the at least one wireless network camera through the wireless communication;
• and
• an object position tracker controlling at least one wireless network camera to track a position of the terminal based on the information about the terminal while the terminal is in a range capable of wireless communication with the at least one wireless network camera, and control the at least one wireless network camera to send identification information of the terminal to a neighboring wireless network camera when the terminal moves out of the range capable of wireless communication with the at least one wireless network camera;
• and
• the map display configured to simultaneously display an image captured by the at least one wireless network camera with the movement path of the terminal.
