Abstract:
1. A system for detecting motion and providing an audible alert to a location being monitored by a video camera, the system comprising: a central processing unit (CPU); at least one video camera in communication with the CPU, each video camera monitoring an area and transmitting a video signal of the area to the CPU; and at least one audio output device (AOD) in communication with the CPU, each AOD producing an output and providing the output to at least one of the areas; wherein the CPU is programmed to: (a) analyze at least one of the video signals from the at least one video camera to detect whether there is motion in at least one of the areas and, (b) upon detecting motion in a first area of the at least one of the areas, and in response to the detected motion, determine whether the motion was detected within a first time period or within a second, different time period, and select and transmit at least one first audio file to the at least one AOD producing an output to the first area if the motion is detected within the first time period, and select and transmit at least one second audio file to the at least one AOD producing an output to the first area if the motion is detected within the second time period.
