Abstract
An image capturing device used for monitoring and a monitoring method thereof are disclosed. The image capturing device is used to monitor movements from a specific area. The monitoring method comprises the following steps: controlling an image capturing module of the image capturing device in order to record images continuously from a specific area; detecting a changing portion within the image; focusing and magnifying the changing portion detected within the image and executing a monitoring recording process to perform a consecutive shooting.
Claims10
An image capturing device, using for monitoring movements of a specific area, comprising:
- an image capturing module for capturing images from the specific area;
- a motion detection module electrically connected with the image capturing module for detecting any movement within the image of the specific area;
- a focusing module for focusing and magnifying a changing portion of the image after a change in the specific area is detected by the motion detection module;
- and
- a central processing unit electrically connected to the image capturing module, the motion detection module and the focusing module, wherein the central processing unit drives the image capturing module capturing the changing portion magnified by the focusing module to a still image.
A monitoring method for an image capturing device, wherein the image capturing device comprises an image capturing module to monitor movements for a specific area, the method comprises the following steps:
- making the image capturing module of the image capturing device to record images continuously from the specific area;
- detecting for a changing portion within the image;
- focusing and magnifying the changing portion detected within the image;
- and
- executing a monitoring shooting process to perform a consecutive shooting to the changing portion.
