Abstract

A real-time alarm system comprises an image capturing element, a network transmission system, a control processing unit and a mobile device. The image capturing element is installed on different sites to generate image information. The image information is transmitted through the network transmission system with one end linking to the image capturing element. The control processing unit is linked to the network transmission system and includes a server, and contains preset information to compare with the image information to generate comparison information. The comparison information is analyzed by a preset algorithm to judge behaviors of objects in the images. The mobile device is linked to the control processing unit to receive the image information. After the control processing unit judges specific behaviors, it actively informs the mobile device to record a video for a selected duration to be seen anytime at a remote site.

Claims

1. A real-time alarm system, comprising:

at least one image capturing element installed on a selected site to capture and record to generate at least one image information;

at least one network transmission system which includes one end linking to the image capturing element to transmit the image information;

a control processing unit which is linked to the network transmission system and contains at least one preset information to process and compare with the image information to generate a comparison information; and

at least one mobile device linking to the control processing unit to receive the comparison information.

2. The real-time alarm system of claim 1, wherein the image capturing element is selected from the group consisting of a video camera and a monitor.

3. The real-time alarm system of claim 1, wherein the network transmission system is an IP-based network selected from the group consisting of a wireless local area network, an Ethernet, a 3G network and WiMAX.

4. The real-time alarm system of claim 1, wherein the control processing unit includes a server which contains a session initiation protocol (SIP).

5. The real-time alarm system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device is selected from the group consisting of a telephone, a personal computer, a notebook computer, a PDA and a cellular phone.

6. The real-time alarm system of claim 1, wherein the control processing unit and the mobile device are linked through an IP-based network, such as wireless local area network, an Ethernet, a 3G network or WiMAX.
