Camera-linked surveillance system
First Claim
1. A surveillance system comprising:
- a plurality of cameras including at least two rotating cameras configured to perform a tracking/shooting function and a wide angle shooting function;
intruding object recognizing means for identifying a coordinate information of an object of monitoring on a coordinate space by analyzing image signals entered from said cameras;
camera function determining means, which when an information that there is an intruding object is obtained from said intruding object recognizing means, allocates, according to the coordinate information of an object of monitoring on a coordinate space, to a first camera said tracking/shooting function whose field of view is a predetermined direction of said object of monitoring and to a second camera a wide angle shooting function, and further, the camera function determining means, when an information that there is no intruding object is obtained from said intruding object recognizing means, allocates to a plurality of cameras a wide angle shooting function; and
camera control means for controlling said plurality of cameras according to the allocation of functions by the camera function determining means.
