Surveillance system and a surveillance camera

摘要

The surveillance system is a system that a plurality of surveillance camera units cooperatively acquire image of a movable object. Each of the surveillance camera units is equipped with a image recognition function. A surveillance camera unit that has recognized the feature information on the movable object in the image picked up transmits the image to a monitor unit via a network and the feature information on the movable object to the other surveillance camera unit via the network. A surveillance camera unit that has recognized the feature information received from the other camera unit in the image picked up transmits the image to the monitor unit via the network as well as transmits the feature information on the movable object to the other surveillance camera unit via the network. This makes it possible to keep tracking of a target even in a space including more blind spots.
