Abstract
A surveillance video system may include a first device configured to process successive surveillance image files of a common area into an image transport stream for a selectable region of interest within the common area. The surveillance video system also may include a second device remote from the first device and in communication with the first device. The second device may include a display and a processor cooperating therewith. The processor may be configured to scroll the selectable region of interest to maintain a selected moving target visible on the display.
Claims24
A surveillance video system comprising:
- a first device configured to process a plurality of successive surveillance image files of a common area into an image transport stream for a selectable region of interest within the common area;
- and
- a second device remote from said first device and in communication therewith, said second device comprising a display and a processor cooperating therewith;
- said processor configured to scroll the selectable region of interest to maintain a selected moving target visible on said display.
A surveillance video device for communicating with a server being remote therefrom and being configured to transcode a plurality of successive surveillance image files of a common area into a video transport stream for a selectable region of interest within the common area, the surveillance video device comprising:
- a display;
- an input device to permit selection of a moving target;
- and
- a processor cooperating with said display and said input device and being configured to scroll the selectable region of interest to maintain the selected moving target visible on said display.
A video device for communicating with a server being remote therefrom and being configured to transcode a plurality of successive image files of a common area into a video transport stream for a selectable region of interest within the common area, the video device comprising:
- a display;
- an input device to permit selection of a moving target;
- and
- a processor cooperating with said display and said input device and being configured to scroll the selectable region of interest to maintain the selected moving target visible on said display.
A method of operating a surveillance video system comprising a first device and a second device being remote therefrom and communicating therewith, the second device comprising a display and a processor cooperating therewith, the method comprising:
- using the first device to process a plurality of successive surveillance image files of a common area into an image transport stream for a selectable region of interest within the common area;
- and
- using the second device to scroll the selectable region of interest to maintain a selected moving target visible on the display.
