Abstract
Provided is a method of controlling a monitoring camera. In the method, a live-view video is displayed on a first region of a display panel, and a plurality of angle-range icons corresponding to panning angle-ranges or tilting angle-ranges is displayed on a second region of the display panel. When one of the plurality of angle-range icons is selected, a control signal for executing panning or tilting at a representative angle of a panning angle-range or tilting angle-range of the selected angle-range icon is transmitted to the monitoring camera.
Claims15
A method of controlling a monitoring camera, performed by a user input/output (I/O) device that receives information of an event and a live-view video from the monitoring camera, the method comprising:
- displaying the live-view video received from the monitoring camera on a first region of a display panel;
- displaying, on a second region of the display panel, a plurality of angle-range icons corresponding to panning angle-ranges or tilting angle-ranges;
- and
- when one of the plurality of angle-range icons is selected, transmitting, to the monitoring camera, a control signal for executing panning or tilting at a representative angle of a panning angle-range or tilting angle-range of the selected angle-range icon.
A monitoring system comprising:
- a user I/O device in which a display panel is installed;
- and
- a monitoring camera configured to perform photography while performing panning or tilting according to control signals from the user I/O device and to provide information of an event and a live-view video to the user I/O device,
- wherein
- the live-view video received from the monitoring camera is displayed on a first region of the display panel,
- a plurality of angle-range icons corresponding to panning angle-ranges or tilting angle-ranges are displayed on a second region of the display panel, and
- when one of the plurality of angle-range icons is selected, panning or tilting is performed at a representative angle of a panning angle-range or tilting angle-range of the selected angle-range icon.
