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.

displays a map information image that represents the predetermined monitoring area,

concurrently displays a plurality of captured positions on the map information image, and,

in response to an input of designating a transitional captured image from the displayed transitional captured images being received, displays capture information of a corresponding captured position of the plurality of captured positions,

wherein the displayed transitional captured images are captured by different cameras of the plurality of cameras,

wherein each of the displayed transitional captured images displays the suspect at a respective time in the time series,

wherein the video monitoring and display device displays the capture information, the transitional captured images, the map information image, and the plurality of captured positions concurrently,

wherein the capture information includes at least one of a name of a location in the predetermined monitoring area, a capture date of the designated transitional captured image, or a capture time of the designated transitional captured image,

wherein the corresponding captured position is a position of a camera that captured the designated transitional captured image,

wherein each of the plurality of captured positions is a position of a camera of the plurality of cameras that captured at least one of the displayed transitional captured images.

2. The security system of claim 1 , wherein the video monitoring and display device displays a captured image before or after a captured time by causing the displayed transitional captured images to be scrolled according to a move instruction when an input of a move operation of a display image for the displayed transitional captured images is received.

3. The security system of claim 1 , wherein the video monitoring and display device displays a captured image reproduction screen for reproducing a corresponding captured image in a state of being enlarged and displayed when an input of an enlarged display instruction of any of the captured images for the displayed transitional captured images is received.

4. The security system of claim 1 wherein the extracting of the plurality of the captured images includes selecting a single frame every predetermined number of frames.

5. The security system of claim 1 wherein the video monitoring and display device displays indicators on the map information that indicate a chronological order of the plurality of captured positions.

6. The security system of claim 5 wherein each the indicators extend from one of the plurality of captured positions to another one of the plurality of captured positions.

7. A method for displaying images of people in a security system, comprising:

capturing, by a plurality of cameras, images of a predetermined monitoring area, each of the plurality of cameras being at a different position in the predetermined monitoring area;

recording, by a recorder, the captured images captured by the plurality of cameras;

detecting, by a sensor, a predetermined matter in the monitoring area based on a predetermined detection condition;

inputting the captured images from the plurality of cameras or the recorder and into a video monitoring and display device; and

displaying, by the video monitoring and display device, one or more of the captured images,

wherein the displaying of the one or more of the captured images by the video monitoring and display device includes:

extracting a plurality of the captured images in which a suspect of the matter is captured from the captured images recorded by the recorder in response to the predetermined matter being detected in the monitoring area,

chronologically displaying transitional captured images in time series based on a behavior of the suspect by using the extracted captured images,

displaying a map information image that represents the predetermined monitoring area,

concurrently displaying a plurality of captured positions on the map information image, and,

in response to an input of designating a transitional captured image from the displayed transitional captured images being received, displaying capture information of a corresponding captured position of the plurality of captured positions,

wherein the displayed transitional captured images are captured by different cameras of the plurality of cameras,

wherein each of the displayed transitional captured images displays the suspect at a respective time in the time series,

wherein the video monitoring and display device displays the capture information, the transitional captured images, the map information image, and the plurality of captured positions concurrently,

wherein the capture information includes at least one of a name of a location in the predetermined monitoring area, a capture date of the designated transitional captured image, or a capture time of the designated transitional captured image,

wherein the corresponding captured position is a position of a camera that captured the designated transitional captured image,

wherein each of the plurality of captured positions is a position of a camera of the plurality of cameras that captured at least one of the displayed transitional captured images.

8. A security system, comprising:
