Abstract
A method is provided. The method includes receiving, from a monitor interface implemented by a first computing device, input specifying a zone within a field of view of an image capture device; storing, in response to reception of the input, a record defining the zone; receiving, from the image capture device, an image acquired within the field of view by the image capture device; and rendering, via a customer interface implemented by a second computing device distinct from the first computing device, the image with a representation of the zone overlaid upon the image.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a remote computing device, data that defines a recommendation for a zone in which one or more objects identified within a field of view of an image capture device are covered with a graphic when displayed;
- modifying, by a mobile device in response to selection of one or more pre-sized boxes, the data to adjust the graphic to the selected one or more pre-sized boxes;
- receiving input, via the mobile device customer interface, requesting that the zone be stored as a customer zone;
- and
- communicating, to the remote computing device, from the mobile device, the graphic, thereby providing customer privacy during event processing by preventing monitoring personnel from seeing portions of the field of view overlaid by the graphic.
A system comprising:
- a customer computing device that is configured to
- receive, from a monitor interface implemented by a monitoring center computing device coupled with a private network within a monitoring center, a recommendation for a zone that covers one or more objects identified within a field of view of an image capture device,
- display, via a customer interface, the recommendation for the zone,
- display, via the customer interface, one or more pre-sized boxes overlaying at least a portion of the field of view of the image capture device,
- receive input, via the customer interface, modifying the zone based on selection of one or more selected pre-sized boxes of the one or more pre-sized boxes, thereby defining a modified zone, and
- receive input, via the customer interface, requesting that the modified zone be stored as a customer zone;
- and
- at least one data center environment computing device that is configured to communicate, to the monitor interface, a representation of the customer zone overlaid upon an image captured by the image capture device, wherein overlaying the customer zone upon the image prevents monitoring personnel from seeing portions of the image overlaid by the representation of the customer zone.
