METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SETTING CAMERA VIEWPOINT BASED ON ALARM EVENT OR CONDITION.

摘要

A security system comprises a first camera and at least one sensor being interconnected with the security system. The first camera acquires video data and is movable to at least first and second viewpoints having first and second field of views (FOVs) that are at least partially different from one another. The at least one sensor detects an alarm event and is associated with the first camera and one of the first and second viewpoints of the first camera. A processor receives an alarm signal from the at least one sensor. The processor identifies a desired viewpoint of the first camera associated with the at least one sensor. The desired viewpoint is one of the at least first and second viewpoints. The processor transmits the desired viewpoint to the first camera and the first camera is positioned based on the desired viewpoint.
