CLOSED CIRCUIT TV SECURITY SYSTEM

摘要

A closed circuit television system (10) includes a plurality of cameras (C1- Cn) installed throughout an area along routes (R1-Rn) followed by someone passing through the area. A touch screen monitor (18) displays camera images (SC). A console 12 operator selects which camera's image to display. The camera selected is a camera observing a person or object in a path by which the person or object is moving through the area. A tracking system (30) is responsive to the operator for selecting one or more additional cameras positioned along the routes the person or object would follow in moving from their current location. The monitor also displays images from each of these other selected cameras. The tracking system allows the operator to change th e selection of cameras whose images are displayed in response to the route, an d changes in route, as well as to initiate recording of the camera imagery.
