Surveillance system having a multi-area motion detection function

A surveillance system having a multi-area motion-detection function, comprising:

• a display for displaying a surveillance video;
• an area selection device for selecting a first area and a second area on the surveillance video;
• and
• a threshold input device for setting a motion-detection threshold of the first area and a motion-detection threshold of the second area;
• wherein, when the result of the motion-detection of the first area exceeds the motion-detection threshold of the first area and the result of the motion-detection exceeds the motion-detection threshold of the second area, the surveillance video is stored in a storage medium.
