13. A method for infrared monitoring of a predetermined area of interest, said method comprising the steps of:
-
setting up an infrared camera having a field of view including the predetermined area of interest; transmitting a video transmission signal including a plurality of video frames from said infrared camera to a video analysis module and to a remote monitoring facility; analyzing video images in said plurality of video frames with said video analysis module; if said video analysis module provides an indication of the presence of an intruder in a predefined “
no go”
zone, generating an alarm signal in response to said indication, said alarm signal received at said remote monitoring facility at the same time as a corresponding said video transmission signal. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
