Abstract
A method for operating a video system includes performing a visual surveillance tour of a predetermined control area with a pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) camera. The method also includes recording at least one video image frame of the predetermined control area. The method further includes recording at least one coordinate value associated with a predetermined coordinate system. The method also includes transmitting each of the at least one video image frame and the at least one coordinate value to at least one storage device. The method further includes indexing the at least one video image frame as a function of the at least one coordinate value. The method also includes retrieving the at least one video image frame based on the at least one coordinate value and displaying the at least one video image frame on at least one video display device.
