Abstract
Provided are an event storage device, an event search device, and an event alarm device for an event occurring in a surveillance area. The event storage device includes a processor and a memory and its operation is controlled by the processor. The processor is configured to receive images captured in a surveillance area, detect an event generated in the surveillance area, storing, in the memory, an image related to the event, among the captured images, and storing an event level of the detected event along with the stored image.
Claims20
An event storage device comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive images captured in a surveillance area;
- detect an event generated in the surveillance area;
- store, in the memory, an image related to the event, among the received images;
- and
- store an event level of the detected event along with the stored image.
An event search device comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
- read events related to images stored in the memory;
- read event levels of the read events from the memory;
- receive a search requirement for at least one event attribute;
- retrieve an image related to an event satisfying the search requirement from among the stored images;
- and
- display the retrieved image.
An event alarm device comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive a request level for an event level;
- receive an image captured in a surveillance area;
- detect an event from the surveillance area;
- calculate an event level of the detected event;
- store the calculated event level in the memory;
- and
- output an alarm for the detected event in response to determining that the event level satisfies the request level.
