Abstract
A video security and control system for recording images in an area to be monitored where the area includes at least one entry point. The system includes at least one camera and a plurality of sensors, at least one of the sensors being located at the entry point. The system also includes a control and capture unit operatively connected to each of the cameras and sensors, the unit including at least one preset and an image capture device. When the sensors are triggered, the sensors send a signal to the control and capture unit which queue the signals. The control and capture unit sends a signal to each of the cameras to execute the preset in the order queued in order to capture an image taken by the camera at each of said preset. The present invention provides for a more efficient use of video storage and minimizes the hardware requirements in order to monitor an area.
