Digital recording/reproducing apparatus for surveillance
View Patent ↗Arbitrarily setting display patterns of live pictures or reproduced pictures per monitoring area in accordance with the purpose of use. Video signals 41 of the picture shot by monitoring cameras installed in a plurality of locations are digitized per monitoring area using the predetermined standard and recorded on video recording apparatus 8 . The video signals 41 are displayed on a monitor (not shown) as live pictures. In this practice, the signals undergo the multi-screen processing via multi-screen reproduce/decoding control means 11 and displayed on screens split by monitoring camera in a monitoring area or by monitoring area.
1. Digital recording/reproducing apparatus for surveillance, which records pictures shot by a plurality of monitoring cameras installed in monitoring areas, and reproduces recorded pictures or live pictures shot by said monitoring cameras, further comprising:
relevant monitoring camera information, recording condition information and display condition information for each monitoring area, and
said shot pictures are recorded and said live pictures are displayed based on said relevant camera information, said recording condition information and said display condition information, wherein when a monitoring area to be displayed is specified, a display screen is split according to the relevant monitoring camera information in the specified monitoring area and displays a corresponding live picture.
2. Digital recording/reproducing apparatus for surveillance, which records pictures shot by a plurality of monitoring cameras installed in monitoring areas, and reproduces recorded pictures or live pictures shot by said monitoring cameras, further comprising:
relevant monitoring camera information, recording condition information and display condition information for each monitoring area, and
said shot pictures are recorded and said live pictures are displayed based on said relevant camera information, said recording condition information and said display condition information, wherein a display screen is split according to the relevant monitoring camera information in each monitoring area and displays a corresponding live picture as well as switches between split screens per monitoring area according to said display condition information.
3. The digital video recording/reproducing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein a switching display timing per monitoring area is switched by an operation time.
4. The digital video recording/reproducing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a displayed picture is switched to said live picture.
5. Digital recording/reproducing apparatus for surveillance, which records pictures shot by a plurality of monitoring cameras installed in monitoring areas, and reproduces recorded pictures or live pictures shot by said monitoring cameras, further comprising:
relevant monitoring camera information, recording condition information and display condition information for each monitoring area, and
said shot pictures are recorded and said live pictures are displayed based on said relevant camera information, said recording condition information and said display condition information, wherein a display screen is split according to a number of said monitoring areas, and a live picture corresponding to the relevant monitoring camera information is displayed for A specified monitoring area on each split screen according to said display condition information.
6. The digital video recording/reproducing apparatus according to any of claims 1 through 5 , wherein a picture is input without live picture display, and recorded with a special identifier appended.
