SYSTEM AND METHOD TO CONTROL SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS VIA A FOOTPRINT
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a video sensing device;
a computer processor coupled to the video sensing device; and
a display unit coupled to the computer processor;
wherein the system is configured to;
display on the display unit a footprint of the video sensing device in an environment;
receive input from a user that directly alters the footprint of the video sensing device;
calculate a change in one or more of a pan, a tilt, and a zoom of the video sensing device as a function of the direct alteration of the footprint;
alter one or more of the pan, the tilt, and the zoom of the video sensing device as a function of the calculations; and
display a field of view of the video sensing device on the display unit as a function of the altered pan, tilt, and zoom of the video sensing device.
