Can be As described above, when an intruder or the like is detected in the course of performing the detection processing, the CPU 301 determines the image data of the intruder or the like, the date and time when the intruder was detected, the detection start point, Information data such as an intermediate point and a detection end point is recorded in the recording device 306. (Refer to step 501 in FIG. 5) The above-described detection of an intruder and the recording of image data and information data are continued until the operator presses the recording button 203 again to terminate the detection and recording operations.

In the monitoring and recording apparatus 300 of the present invention,
The following four modes are prepared as modes for recording image data. Simple time lapse mode, intelligent time lapse mode, intelligent animation time lapse mode, simple time lapse + intelligent time lapse mode. Each mode will be described. The first simple time lapse mode is a mode in which image data is recorded and a database is created as needed at a preset frame rate, and is the mode most commonly used in the monitoring and recording apparatus. In the second intelligent time lapse mode, image recognition processing is performed.
That is, the image signal input from the input terminal 304 is
The video interface 305 converts the data into image data in a format handled by the surveillance image device, and inputs the image data to the image recognition unit 303 via the bus 310. To detect an intruder or the like, and from the time when the intruder or the like is detected by the image recognition unit 303, at a preset frame rate (for example, 2 frames / sec, 5 frames / sec, 0.5 frame / sec, etc.). In this mode, recording and database conversion are performed, and detection processing is continued until the image recognition unit 303 no longer detects an intruder or the like.

In the third intelligent animation time lapse mode, a recording start (detection start) time and a recording end (detection end) time are determined using a detection process based on image recognition, similarly to the second intelligent time lapse mode. The recording of image data during this time is a mode in which all image data (for example, 30 frames / second) is recorded. The fourth simple time lapse + intelligent time lapse mode records image data at a preset frame rate and creates a database (simple time lapse mode) when an intruder or the like is not detected. Is detected, the recording is performed at the frame rate set in the intelligent time lapse mode (of course, all frames may be recorded). The image data recorded in each mode described above and information data such as recording date and time are recorded in the recording device 306 as a database.

Here, the above-mentioned mode setting method will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
The operator presses the menu button 202 on the operation panel 200 (see FIG. 2) (see step 600 in FIG. 6).
Then, a menu as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display device 308. (See step 601 in FIG. 6) Next, using the up button 204 and the down button 206 of the operation panel 200, a menu recording setting 402 shown in FIG. 4 is selected, and an enter button 208 of the operation panel 200 is selected. push. Then, the display device 3

When a simple time lapse mode, an intelligent time lapse mode, or a simple time lapse + intelligent time lapse mode is selected in this mode selection menu, a frame rate for recording image data is set. . (See step 603 in FIG. 6) Also in the case of setting the frame rate, a menu is displayed on the display device 308 (not shown), and the required frame rate is set. The database recorded and created as described above can be displayed on the display device 308 at any time by the operator pressing the play button 201 provided on the operation panel 200 shown in FIG. This play button 2
The reproduction of the image data and the information data at any time performed by pressing 01 can be performed regardless of the mode in which the image data and the information data are recorded in the recording device 306, or the image data recorded in any of the modes. However, even information data is possible. The operation of recording while performing such reproduction may be performed by, for example, time division processing.

Next, a function of displaying how many hours can be recorded on the recording device 306 will be described. Specifically, the monitoring and recording apparatus 300 of the present invention has a function (intelligent time lapse) of detecting presence or absence of an intruder or the like by using image recognition and recording image data only while an intruder or the like is detected. Have. By using this function, it is possible to record and monitor image data for a longer time than when image data is recorded at predetermined time intervals. Such a monitoring and recording apparatus needs a function of displaying how many hours of recording is possible on the recording apparatus 306 and exchanging information with the operator for exchanging recording media. However, since the monitoring and recording apparatus 300 of the present invention has an intelligent time lapse function, an intruder or the like is detected unlike a case where recording is performed simply at predetermined time intervals (simple time lapse) ( (Event) or not.

Therefore, the monitoring and recording apparatus 300 of the present invention records the time at which an event has occurred, and performs statistical processing to predict the number of events that will occur in the future, and compares it with the remaining recording capacity of the recording apparatus 306. Calculate and display recordable time. As the operation, the display device 30
When the setting of the recordable time (not shown) is selected from the menu displayed on 8, a recordable time calculation window 1000 as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed, for example. This recordable time calculation window 1000
By performing the necessary setting of, which data in the database is used for the calculation is set. The setting contents are, for example, time 1001, day 1002, day 1003, month 1
004, and one of them is selected and set. The window 1000 shown in FIG. 7 shows the setting of the day 1002.

In the method of setting the window 1000, first, the cursor 1005 is moved by using the up, down, left and right buttons 204 to 207 of the operation panel 200. First, when the cursor is moved to the mode selection button 1006 and the enter button 208 is pressed, the mode to be set is determined. Next, the right button 207 is pressed to move the cursor to the designated area 1007 of each mode. In the designated area 1007, by pressing the up button 204 and the down button 206, the numerical value or the day of the week is switched. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the day mode 1006 is set and “25”
Is set, and the menu button 202 is pressed, the set contents are determined.

Next, the display of the recordable time will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. When the display of the recordable time (not shown) is turned ON from the menu on the display device 308 (see step 1101 in FIG. 8), the CPU 301 calculates the recordable time shown in FIG. The remaining time is calculated (see step 1102 in FIG. 8). Next, when the intelligent mode is set (see step 1103 in FIG. 8) and an event occurs (see step 1104 in FIG. 8),
The data size is recorded in the database for the duration of the event (see step 1105 in FIG. 8).

Next, the remaining time (recordable time) is calculated (see step 1106 in FIG. 8). The calculation at this time is based on the presence or absence of the simple time lapse operation (if there is an operation, the frame Rate), the expected value of the event occurrence calculated using the data of the period set in the calculation of the recordable time shown in FIG. 7, the duration and the data amount of the event occurrence, and the free space of the recording device 306. The value calculated using these values is displayed on the display device 308 (see step 1109 in FIG. 8). If no event has occurred (see step 1104 in FIG. 8), the original value is displayed because the recording capacity does not change (see step 1109 in FIG. 8).

Next, a case where the intelligent mode is not operating will be described (step 110 in FIG. 8).
3). At this time, if writing is performed at predetermined time intervals (see step 1107 in FIG. 8), the recording device 3
The recordable time is calculated from the free space 06, the frame rate in the intelligent mode, and the data amount (see step 1108 in FIG. 8), and the remaining time is displayed (see step 1109 in FIG. 8). Similarly, when there is no writing (see step 1107 in FIG. 8), since the recording capacity does not change, the original value is displayed as the remaining time display as it is (see step 1109 in FIG. 8). The recordable time calculated as described above is displayed as shown in FIG. Note that the numerical values of the recordable time displayed in FIG. 1 are for explanation, and do not indicate actual values. The monitoring and recording apparatus of the present invention is further provided with a function of displaying the occurrence status of an event in a graph. The graph display 102 of the occurrence status of the event shown in FIG. 1 is an example, and for example, it is possible to display the transition for one week, the detection for one month, or the detection information of a specific day or a specific day.

Next, as another embodiment of the mode for recording image data, the creation of a combined function of simple time lapse and intelligent time lapse will be described. This is usually a simple time lapse mode (a function to record image data at any time at a preset frame rate)
In the intelligent time lapse mode (image recognition is performed, and all input images from a television camera or the like (for example, 30 frames /
Second), the presence or absence of an intruder is determined, and if it is determined that there is an intruder, a function of recording at a preset frame rate is used. This is a function for performing recording in any of the following three modes.

The first mode is a mode in which, when an intruder or the like is detected by image recognition using the intelligent time lapse function, information data is recorded in the image data recorded in the simple time lapse mode at that time, and the information can be retrieved later. It is. In this mode, a “simple + intelligent time lapse” mode 900 is selected from the menu shown in FIG.
Select Using this mode, the recording device 306
The amount of recording to be recorded on the recording medium can be kept low.

The second mode is a mode in which when an intruder or the like is detected by image recognition, recording is performed simultaneously based on the intelligent time lapse mode setting, separately from the simple time lapse mode. In this mode, a “simple + intelligent time lapse” mode 100 is selected from the menu shown in FIG. In the third mode, when an intruder or the like is detected by image recognition, recording in the simple time lapse mode is stopped, and recording in the intelligent time lapse mode is performed. This mode is selected from the menu shown in FIG.
"Simple + intelligent time lapse" mode 100
Select "Intelligent mode only" 10
Select 3. With the above-described recording mode, it is possible to lengthen the recordable time by recording normally at recording time intervals, and when more information is needed, such as when an intruder is detected. In this case, recording can be performed at a setting with a high frame rate.

Further, the place (media) for recording a database such as image data and information data is changed (for example, another medium such as a hard disk and a magneto-optical disk, or SCSI (Small Computer System In
terface) or another hard disk device which may be added). More specifically, in normal recording (simple time lapse mode), recording is performed on a hard disk, and when an intruder or the like is detected by image recognition, a signal of a sensor provided outside the monitoring and recording device is transmitted. This is a function of recording image data on the DVD-RAM when receiving the data. Further, when the operator specifies, the information may be recorded on the DVD-RAM. This usually records on the hard disk,
When the hard disk is full, continuous operation is performed by overwriting the oldest data. Then, when an intruder or the like is detected, it can be used for recording and storing it on a DVD-RAM. Of course, the usage of the hard disk and the magneto-optical disk may be reversed, or the hard disk may be added and recorded on another hard disk, or may be a completely different recording medium.
