Surveillance system with dynamic recording resolution and object tracking

摘要

A surveillance system includes a plurality of microphones for generating audio signals in response to detecting sound, a video camera for generating a stream of video signals, and a driving unit for controlling the direction in which the video camera points. The surveillance system also includes a decision unit for determining a location from which the detected sound is coming from based on the differences in the audio signals generated by the plurality of microphones to control the driving unit to point the video camera in the direction of the location from which the detected sound is coming from.
