Abstract

A method and system for installation of a monitoring unit. The monitoring unit comprises a photosensitive sensor for recording images of a monitored location. The system further comprises a light emitting element. The monitoring unit is arranged to detect the position of the light emitting element in a recorded image and by means of said position specify a sub-location within the monitored location.

Claims

1. A system for installation of a monitoring unit having a photosensitive sensor for recording images of a monitored area, said system comprising:

a light emitting element, the monitoring unit being arranged to detect the position of the light emitting element in a recorded image and by means of said position, specify a sub-location within the monitored area; and

a remote arrangement including

a key set provided on said remote arrangement, the key set having at least one key in a determined pattern so that each key in the key set is associated with a determined position of the monitored area and the determined pattern corresponds to a pattern of determined positions in the monitored area with respect to the monitoring unit being installed, and

a means for sending, said means for sending being configured to emit a signal to the monitoring unit, said signal including information about which of said at least one key being pressed.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the monitoring unit further comprises a means for receiving a signal comprising information identifying said position.

3. The system according to claim 2, wherein said means for receiving and the photosensitive sensor consist of one and the same component.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein each determined position in the monitored area specifies a sub-location of the monitored.

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein the light emitting element is integrated with the remote arrangement.

6. The system according to claim 5, wherein the light emitting element and said means for sending consist one and the same component.

7. The system according to claim 6, wherein said component is a light emitting diode, particularly an IR light emitting diode.

8. The system according to claim 1, wherein the monitoring unit further comprises a memory arranged to store said detected position for later use in a control program.

9. The system according to claim 1, wherein the light emitting element is moveable in the monitored location.

10. The system according to claim 1, wherein the monitoring unit further comprises an indication element indicating that the position of the light emitting element is detected.

11. An arrangement for installation of a monitoring unit having a photosensitive sensor for recording images of a monitored location, comprising:

a key, the key set having at least one key in a determined pattern so that each key in the key set is associated with a determined position of the monitored location and the determined pattern corresponds to a pattern of determined positions in the monitored location, and a means for sending, the means for sending being configured to emit a signal to the monitoring unit, the signal including information about which of said at least one key being pressed.

12. The arrangement according to claim 11, wherein the means for sending comprises a light emitting element.
