Patent
CA 2242322
An embedded system for video monitoring and security is disclosed. The embedded system includes a video camera, a user programmable motion detection sub-system which activates the camera and a solid state storage mechanism for collecting the digital video images. All three of the functional units as well as additional hardware and software required for image analysis, compression, storage, playback, and a user interface are all contained within the same vandal resistant enclosure, which is relatively small and easily mountable to almost any surface. Digital video images captured by the camera are processed and continually monitored for unexpected motion. The required memory capacity is reduced by storing the video images in a "time lapse" fashion and storing only when the storage subsystem is triggered by the motion detection subsystem. The solid state storage media provides for increased reliability over older mechanical forms of memory. The user interface takes the form of an on-screen display, where the user can program many system features including: aspects of the motion detection and storage subsystems.
