MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STORING VIDEO
First Claim
1. A monitoring system for monitoring an area, comprising:
- an image capturing module;
a storage unit; and
a processor for controlling the image capturing module to capture images within the monitored area to obtain video signal including a series of frames, and comparing two neighboring frames to determine whether the neighboring frames are similar, and storing one of the neighboring frames in the storage unit with the number of the stored frame increased by one when the neighboring frames is determined to be similar, and storing both the neighboring frames in the storage unit when the neighboring frames are determined to be different.

Abstract
A monitoring system for monitoring an area, includes an image capturing module, a storage unit, and a processor. The processor controls the image capturing module to capture images within the monitored area to obtain video signal as a series of frames, and compares every two neighboring frames to determine whether the neighboring frames are the similar according to a preset reference level, and stores one of the neighboring frames in the storage unit with the number of the stored frame increased by one if the neighboring frames is determined to be similar, and stores both the neighboring frames in the storage unit if the neighboring frames are determined to be different. A method for storing video obtained by the monitoring system is also provided.
