VIDEO SURVEILLANCE METHOD AND APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC H04N5/232 G08B13/194 H04N13/02 H04N5/765 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: disclosed is a video surveillance method using a video camera with a video recorder, an infrared sensor for detecting movement of the object under video surveillance and a device for interfacing the motion sensor and the video camera with a video recorder. Video surveillance is carried out with possibility of turning the video camera in the azimuthal plane by a multiphase turning angle of the video image synchronously with reception of infrared radiation by the motion sensor from an infrared radiation generator mounted on the object under video surveillance, by scanning with a drive with the interfacing device in the azimuthal plane of the corresponding phase turning angle using clocked pulses with fixed frequency higher than 10 Hz. The phase turning angle is scanned in a code via successive approximation of the normalised value to the measured value by algebraic summation of reverse phase increments, recorded in form of differences between measured and normalised values.

EFFECT: high metrological efficiency of panoramic video surveillance owing to automation of video surveillance with regulated accuracy of the normalised measure of the turning angle phase in the azimuthal plane.
