Abstract

A method for moving detection includes: a service server acquiring a first surveillance image captured by a camera at a preset first moment, and calculating a first moving angle of a pan-tilt; acquiring a second surveillance image captured by the camera at a preset second moment, and calculating a second moving angle of the pan-tilt; and determining by comparison whether common images in the first surveillance image and the second surveillance image are consistent according to the first moving angle and the second moving angle; if inconsistent, triggering a moving detection alarm. The embodiments of the present document also disclose a corresponding system and a service server. The disclosed solution of the embodiments of the present document is applied to implement moving detection when a camera is in moving state, ensures the accuracy of moving detection alarm in a great extent.
