METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM WITH AID OF AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED PATROL ROUTES, AND ASSOCIATED APPARATUS

摘要

A method for controlling a surveillance system includes a plurality of cameras (150) equipped with capability of capturing direction adjustment. The method includes the steps of: calculating monitoring regions of the plurality of cameras (150) according to coordinates of the plurality of cameras (150), respectively, to generate space information (126) of the monitoring regions, wherein any monitoring region of the monitoring regions includes a union of a plurality of regions monitored by a corresponding camera of the plurality of cameras (150) through capturing direction adjustment; automatically generating target patrol routes of the plurality of cameras (150) according to the monitoring regions and according to a plurality of target points; and applying configurations corresponding to the target patrol routes to the plurality of cameras (150), respectively, to cause capturing direction adjustment operations of the plurality of cameras (150) to correspond to the target patrol routes, respectively.
