Abstract

Disclosed herein is an image monitoring system including: a camera connected to a network; display means for displaying an image captured by the camera; and display control means for controlling display such that, in displaying images by the display means, an image is displayed in a window having a predetermined layout; wherein the display control means presets an allocation database containing a correlation between the window having a predetermined layout and a camera identification code and, when the camera is connected to the network, automatically sets a correlation between the camera identification code in the allocation database and the camera, thereby controlling image display into the window on the basis of the allocation database.

Claims (15)

1. An image monitoring system comprising:

a receiving means for receiving data from a camera connected to a network; and

display control means for controlling display such that, in displaying images by a display means, an image is displayed in a window having a predetermined layout;

wherein said display control means presets an allocation database containing a correlation between said window having a predetermined layout and a camera identification code and, when said camera is connected to said network, automatically sets a correlation between said camera identification code in said allocation database and said camera, therein controlling image display into said window on the basis of said allocation database, and

wherein said predetermined layout is determined from plural pattern of layouts, and said display control means controls the display means to display each of the layouts including said camera identification code.

2. The image monitoring system according to claim 1 , further comprising the display means for displaying an image captured by said camera.

3. The image monitoring system according to claim 1 , wherein, if said predetermined layout is provided in plural, then said display control means, upon receiving a command for displaying an image captured by a predetermined camera, sets all layouts selectable including said camera identification code related with said predetermined camera.

4. An image monitoring program, embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, to be executed on an image monitoring system including

receiving means for receiving data from a camera connected to a network; and

display control means for controlling display such that, in displaying images by a display means, an image is displayed in a window having a predetermined layout;

wherein program control by the image monitoring program for said display control means comprising the steps of:

presetting an allocation database containing a correlation between said window having a predetermined layout and a camera identification code and, when said camera is connected to said network, automatically setting a correlation between said camera identification code in said allocation database and said camera, therein controlling image display into said window on the basis of said allocation database; and

determining said predetermined layout from plural patterns of layouts and then controlling the display means to display each of the layouts including said camera identification code.

5. The image monitoring program according to claim 4 , wherein, the image monitoring system further comprising the display means for displaying an image captured by said camera.

6. The image monitoring program according to claim 4 , wherein, if said predetermined layout is provided in plural, then upon said display control means receiving a command for displaying an image captured by a predetermined camera, setting all layouts selectable including said camera identification code related with said predetermined camera.
