1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to monitoring systems and, particularly, to a monitoring system and a monitoring method.
2. Description of the Related Art
Conventional monitor systems typically include a number of telecameras, a number of monitors, and a number of video cassette recorders. The telecameras aim at a scene so as to capture images of the scene from different directions, and output surveillance videos to the monitors for monitoring in real time. The surveillance videos are stored in the video cassette recorders.
One of the disadvantages of utilizing such a monitoring system is that in order to find a target person in the surveillance videos, all the surveillance videos need to be reloaded from the cassette recorders, and checked one by one. This manual searching task is time-consuming and inefficient.
What is needed, therefore, is a monitoring system and a monitoring method, which can overcome the above-described problem.
