NETWORK CAMERA AND NETWORK IMAGE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A network camera comprising:
- an image and audio encoding unit configured to convert an optical image incident from a lens, compress an audio signal from a microphone in a predetermined format, and generate compressed streaming data by encoding the converted image and the compressed audio signal;
a network controlling unit configured to monitor an input and output status of the compressed streaming data, control a configuration of a packet of the compressed streaming data in accordance with a network quality of system (QoS), control synchronizing the compressed streaming data with a video frame and transmit the synchronized streaming data; and
a network routing unit configured to route input and output of the compressed streaming data via at least one network port and implement redundancy by using a Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).

12. A network image surveillance system comprising:
-
a server; a monitoring terminal; a switch; and at least one network camera, wherein the at least one network camera comprises; an image and audio encoding unit configured to generate compressed streaming data by converting an optical image incident from a lens, compressing an audio signal received from a microphone in a predetermined format, and encoding the converted optical image and the compressed audio signal; a network controlling unit configured to monitor and receive an input and output status of the compressed streaming data, control a configuration of a packet of the received compressed streaming data in accordance with a network quality of system (QoS), and transmit the compressed streaming data in synchronization with a video frame of the image; and a network routing unit configured to route an input and output of the data via at least one network port and implement redundancy by using a Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), wherein the server, the monitoring terminal, the switch, and the at least one network camera form a ring topology structure. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
