Abstract

A security system includes a camera that captures an image of a monitoring area, a recorder that stores the captured image which is captured by the camera, a sensor that detects a matter in the monitoring area, a video monitoring and display device that causes a monitor to display the captured image of the monitoring area from the camera or the recorder, and a BLE reception device that detects a signal from a BLE transmission terminal which is installed or maintained by a guard who patrols the monitoring area. In a case where the matter is detected in the monitoring area, the video monitoring and display device extracts the captured images of the suspect or the guard, chronologically arranges the captured images, and displays the captured images on the monitor. Furthermore, in a case where the video monitoring and display device displays the captured images of the guard, the video monitoring and display device also displays positional information of the BLE transmission terminal in association with the captured images of the guard.

Claims (45)

1. A security system comprising:

a camera that captures an image of a monitoring area;

a recorder that stores the captured image of the monitoring area which is captured by the camera;

a sensor that detects a matter in the monitoring area;

a video monitoring and display device that causes a display unit to display the captured image of the monitoring area from the camera or the recorder; and

a code detection device that detects a code which is installed or maintained by a guard who patrols the monitoring area,

wherein the video monitoring and display device

extracts a plurality of captured images, in which a suspect of the matter is captured, in a case where the matter is detected in the monitoring area, and displays a first transitional captured image, in which the plurality of extracted captured images are chronologically arranged along captured time, and map information of the monitoring area, and

extracts a plurality of captured images, in which the guard is captured, and the code which is detected by the code detection device according to a switching operation from the suspect to the guard, and displays a second transitional captured image, in which the plurality of extracted captured images and a marker indicative of the code are chronologically arranged along the captured time or detection time, and the map information of the monitoring area in a switching manner.

2. The security system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the video monitoring and display device displays matter related information, which includes captured position related to a designated captured image and the captured time, according to designation of any captured image included in the first transitional captured image or the second transitional captured image.

3. The security system according to claim 1 ,

wherein a first icon used to instruct to generate a first security report indicative of behavior history of the suspect is shown in a screen in which the first transitional captured image is displayed on the display unit, and

wherein the video monitoring and display device causes a printing device, which is connected to the video monitoring and display device, to print a first security report indicative of the behavior history of the suspect according to designation of the first icon using a part or whole of the first transitional captured image.

4. The security system according to claim 1 ,

wherein a second icon used to instruct to generate a second security report indicative of behavior history of the guard is shown in a screen in which the second transitional captured image is displayed on the display unit, and

wherein the video monitoring and display device causes a printing device, which is connected to the video monitoring and display device, to print a second security report indicative of the behavior history of the guard according to designation of the second icon using a part or whole of the second transitional captured image.

5. The security system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the code is a color barcode in which a plurality of color patterns are prescribed, and

wherein the code detection device is the camera.

6. A method for displaying images of people in a security system, which includes a camera, a recorder, a sensor, a code detection device, and a video monitoring and display device, the method comprising:

capturing an image of a monitoring area by the camera;

storing the captured image, which is captured by the camera, by the recorder;

detecting a matter in the monitoring area by the sensor;

detecting a code, which is installed or maintained by a guard who patrols the monitoring area, by the code detection device; and

causing a display unit to display the captured image of the monitoring area from the camera or the recorder by the video monitoring and display device,

wherein the displaying of the captured image of the monitoring area in the video monitoring and display device includes

extracting a plurality of captured images, in which a suspect of the matter is captured, in a case where the matter is detected in the monitoring area, and displaying a first transitional captured image, in which the plurality of extracted captured images are chronologically arranged along captured time, and map information of the monitoring area, and

extracting a plurality of captured images, in which the guard is captured, and the code which is detected by the code detection device according to a switching operation from the suspect to the guard, and displaying a second transitional captured image, in which the plurality of extracted captured images and a marker indicative of the code are chronologically arranged along the captured time or detection time, and the map information of the monitoring area in a switching manner.

7. A security system comprising:

a camera that captures an image of a monitoring area;

a recorder that stores the captured image of the monitoring area which is captured by the camera;

a sensor that detects a matter in the monitoring area;

a video monitoring and display device that causes a display unit to display the captured image of the monitoring area from the camera or the recorder; and

a code detection device that detects a code which is installed or maintained by a guard who patrols the monitoring area,

wherein the video monitoring and display device

extracts a plurality of captured images, in which the guard is captured in a case where the matter is detected in the monitoring area by the sensor, and the code based on the code detected by the code detection device, and displays transitional captured images, in which the plurality of extracted captured images and a marker indicative of the code are chronologically arranged along captured time or detection time, and map information of the monitoring area.

8. A method for displaying images of people in a security system, which includes a camera, a recorder, a sensor, a code detection device, and a video monitoring and display device, the method comprising:

capturing an image of a monitoring area by the camera;

storing the captured image, which is captured by the camera, by the recorder;

detecting a matter in the monitoring area by the sensor;

detecting a code which is installed or maintained by a guard who patrols the monitoring area by the code detection device; and

causing a display unit to display the captured image of the monitoring area from the camera or the recorder by the video monitoring and display device,

wherein the displaying of the captured image of the monitoring area in the video monitoring and display device includes

extracting a plurality of captured images, in which a guard is captured in a case where the matter is detected in the monitoring area by the sensor, and the code based on the code detected by the code detection device, and displaying transitional captured images, in which the plurality of extracted captured images and a marker indicative of the code are chronologically arranged along captured time or detection time, and map information of the monitoring area.
