Security system
First Claim
1. A security system comprising:
- N surveillance nodes, where N is greater than or equal to 17 and is an integer, each surveillance node providing a video source of a scene of a location of the surveillance node;
a monitoring node having a display in communication with the N surveillance nodes; and
a controller which simultaneously continuously shows on the display a live scene of the surveillance node when a predetermined event occurs at the surveillance node, and a recorded scene of the node for a predetermined time which spans before, during and after the predetermined event, the controller in communication with the monitoring node and the N surveillance nodes.

Abstract
A security system. The security system comprises N surveillance nodes, where N is greater than or equal to 17 and is an integer. Each surveillance node providing a video source of a scene of a location of the surveillance node. The security system comprises a monitoring node having a display in communication with the N surveillance nodes. The security system comprises a controller which simultaneously continuously shows on the display a live scene of the surveillance node when a predetermined event occurs at the surveillance node, and a recorded scene of the node for a predetermined time which spans before, during and after the predetermined event, the controller in communication with the monitoring node and the N surveillance nodes. Alternatively, N is greater than or equal to 2 and is an integer, and the security system comprises an ATM network through which the N surveillance nodes, the monitoring node and the controller communicate. A method for maintaining security.

17. A method for maintaining security comprising the steps of:
-
providing a video source of a scene of a location of each surveillance node of N surveillance nodes, where N is greater than or equal to 17 and is an integer; and
showing simultaneously and continuously on a display of a monitoring node in communication with the N surveillance nodes with a controller a live scene of the surveillance node when a predetermined event occurs at the surveillance node, and a recorded scene of the node for a predetermined time which spans before, during and after the predetermined event, the controller in communication with the monitoring node and the N surveillance nodes. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
