Abstract

PURPOSE:To clearly photograph and record an object, by automatically controlling a video camera by detecting the small change of the object in an image range. CONSTITUTION:The certain field among the image signals from a video camera 1 or the image signal of a frame is stored in a field memory apparatus 3. This memory content is compared with the corresponding field from the camera 1 or the image signal of the frame taken in a buffer apparatus 4 in a comparison apparatus 5 and, when they are not coincided, the zoom or direction of the camera 1 is automatically controlled through a drive circuit 6 responding to the output of the apparatus 5. By this method, an object is clearly imaged and recorded through a magnetic video recording apparatus 2.

This invention was made in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional ones as described above. It detects small changes in the subject within the video range and automatically zooms the video camera or changes its direction accordingly. It is an object of the present invention to provide a surveillance video recording device that can clearly image and record a subject by changing the subject.

The drawing shows a surveillance video recording device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the drawing, (1) is a video camera equipped with a zoom function and whose direction can be changed; Magnetic recording and reproducing device that can record vertically, (3)
1 is a field memory device that stores a certain field or frame of the video signal from the video camera (1); f51, a video buffer device that captures the video signal of
is a comparison device that compares the video signal from the field memory device (3) and the video signal from the video buffer device (4), and (6) is a change when the comparison device (5) detects a difference between the two video signals. This is a drive circuit that changes the direction of the video camera (1) or adjusts its zoom toward the subject where the video camera (1) has occurred.

The output of the video camera (1) is recorded in a magnetic recording and reproducing device (2) capable of recording over a long period of time, and the video signal of a certain field or frame of the video signal from the video camera (1) is stored in a field memory device. (3)
memorize it. On the other hand, the video buffer device (4) receives the output video signal from the video camera (1) as it is, or receives signals for each predetermined field of the video signal.
This video signal is compared with the video signal of the field memory device (3) by a comparator (5). If the subject moves, there will be a difference between the two video signal numbers, and the drive circuit (6) will respond to the output of the comparator (5) to change the direction of the video camera (1) or Adjust the zoom. Therefore, the video camera (1) tracks the moving subject, and even if the subject moves or changes, it is possible to clearly image and record the subject.
