摘要

A configuration module (6) for a video surveillance system (1) having a plurality of surveillance cameras (2 a-d) which are and/or may be distributed throughout a surveillance region (3) including, a model memory (7) which is designed to provide a model (10) of the surveillance region (3), camera data of the surveillance cameras (2 a-d) being entered and/or referenced in the model (10); an input interface (11) for the input of at least one surveillance target (5) into the model (10); a computing device (12) which determines at least one camera-specific surveillance target section (13 a, b) for at least one of the surveillance cameras (2 a, b) based on the surveillance target (5) that was input; and a hidden-region checking device (16) which is designed to a check whether the surveillance target (5) is hidden in front of one of the surveillance cameras (2 a-d).
