Abstract: A multiple image video surveillance camera system that uses a common set of sequencing logic to sample multiple imaging devices or multiple pre-set image windows within a large high-resolution imaging device is provided. The images are multiplexed into a single frame or switched on a frame-by-frame basis at the imaging device. The switched frames are marked or encoded to facilitate separation for individual image display. This configuration allows one camera processor or sequencer to support multiple imagers and eliminates the need for a separate multiplexer, which lowers the system cost. Using a single transmission media to the video recording or display devices significantly reduces system installation cost.

Abstract: The present invention provides a video surveillance apparatus and method of operation for a system having at least one predefined setting. A first parameter corresponding to an alignment of a video camera assembly with a visual target is stored. A second parameter corresponding to the alignment of a modified video camera assembly with the visual target is obtained. A difference between the first and second parameters is determined. The difference is applied to at least one of the predefined settings.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for controlling a motor in a video surveillance system including a video camera, a tilt motor operable to move the video camera in a tilt direction, a pan motor operable to move the video camera in a pan direction, and a controller in electrical communication with the tilt and pan motors. The controller assesses an operational condition of the video surveillance system and, if the assessment is successful, actuates at least one of the tilt motor and pan motor to move the video camera along a first predetermined motion pattern. In addition, if the assessment is unsuccessful, the controller actuates at least one of the tilt motor and pan motor to move the video camera along a second predetermined motion pattern.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system that improve the low-speed control stability of a video camera assembly, including a video camera, a tilt motor operable to tilt the video camera and a pan motor operable to pan the video camera. A first encoder is coupled to one of the tilt motor and pan motor. The first encoder outputs a plurality of signals having corresponding signal edges, based on a rotation speed of the one of the tilt motor and pan motor. A first controller is in electrical communication with the first encoder. The first controller determines a speed of the one of the tilt motor and pan motor at least in part by correlating a time period between detection of the first edge and detection of the second edge to the speed of the at least one tilt motor and pan motor.

Abstract: The present invention provides a video surveillance system, having a video camera; a motor operable to move the video camera; and a processor monitoring a value of a signal provided to the motor, the processor terminating the signal to the motor when the monitored signal value exceeds a predetermined value for a predetermined period of time. A network may be coupled to the processor for communication of the signal termination. The processor may reinitiate a signal transmission to the motor sufficient to maintain a position of the motor after a predetermined period of time, and the processor may monitor the signal transmission and adjust at least one of a zoom setting and focus setting of the video camera based at least in part on the monitored signal.
