Monitoring system, image-processing apparatus, management apparatus, event detecting method, and program
First Claim
1. A monitoring system comprising:
- a plurality of image-capturing apparatuses includingan event detector configured to process first event detection on a corresponding captured image for a first event, anda transmission configured to output to a network a processing result of the first event detection without the image when a request for the image is not received and to output to the network a processing result of the first event detection with the captured image when the request for the image is received; and
a management apparatus includinga receiving unit that receives data from the plurality of image-capturing apparatuses via the network,an event determination unit that determines occurrence of a second event in accordance with the received processing result of the first event detection, anda request sending unit that sends the request for the image to the image-capturing apparatus when the second event occurs,wherein the second event is at least one of moving object detection and non-moving object detection.
