NETWORK VIDEO MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY ASSIGNING CAMERAS IN THE SAME
First Claim
1. A network video monitoring system comprising:
- a plurality of network video recording (NVR) hosts configured to control a plurality of cameras, each NVR host controlling at least one camera; and
a core-control module placed within a same domain with the NVR hosts, the core-control module configured to store internet protocol (IP) addresses of the NVR hosts and operatively connect to the NVR host through the stored IP addresses,wherein the core-control module is configured to inquire a status of each NVR host and assign the camera in the same domain to the NVR hosts according to the statuses of the NVR hosts, thus controlling the cameras by the corresponding NVR hosts.

Abstract
A network video monitoring system includes a core-control module, a plurality of network video recording (NVR) hosts, and a plurality of cameras. The core-control module assigns the cameras to the NVR hosts respectively for controlling the camera by the NVR hosts according to status of each NVR host. In this application, the core-control module obtains the status of each NVR host periodicity for determining if the NVR hosts are over loading or failed, and re-assigns the cameras automatically for the overloaded or malfunctioned NVR hosts. The application rescues the NVR hosts from the over loading problem, and prevents the termination of the monitoring action of the cameras when one of the NVR host malfunctions.

17. A network video monitoring system comprising:
-
a plurality of camera; a network switch operatively connected to the cameras; a plurality of network video recording (NVR) operatively connected to the network switch and operatively connected to the cameras through the network switch; and a core-control module recording IP addresses of the NVR hosts and a profile for each camera, the core-control module operatively connected to the NVR hosts through the IP addresses, wherein the core-control module is configured to inquire a status of each NVR host and send the profile of each camera to a corresponding NVR host, whereby each NVR host establishes a streaming image for at least one camera under the control thereof according to the received profile. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
