Abstract
Provided is a monitoring apparatus including a communication unit which receives streaming data and metadata of a video from each of a plurality of cameras installed indoors when the cameras obtain videos by capturing specific areas, respectively; a metadata analysis unit which analyzes the received metadata and extracts information about an event that occurred; a video selection unit which selects a video containing an area in which the event occurred from the videos based on the extracted information about the event; and a screen unit which receives the selected video from the video selection unit and immediately displays the received video when the monitoring apparatus is operated.
Claims20
A monitoring apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface configured to receive streaming data and metadata of a video from each of a plurality of cameras when the cameras obtain videos by capturing specific areas, respectively;
- at least one processor configured to implement:
- a metadata analysis unit configured to analyzes the received metadata and extract information about an event that occurred;
- and
- a video selection unit configured to select at least one video containing an area in which the event occurred from the videos based on the extracted information about the event;
- and
- a display configured to receive the at least one video from the video selection unit and display the received video,
- wherein, when an event occurs in a first video of the at least one video, the display is configured to display only the first video on a screen,
- subsequently, when another event occurs in a second video of the at least one video, the display is configured to resize the first video to a reduced size and display the resized first video and the second video together on the screen, and
- afterward, when the event ends in the first video, the display is configured to resize the second video to an enlarged size and display only the resized second video on the screen.
