Abstract:
An apparatus for automatically storing an intrusion scene comprising:a photographing unit for photographing an image every time a time interval elapses; an analog-to-digital (A/D) converting unit for receiving a signal of an image photographed by the photographing unit and converting the signal into a digital signal; a video signal storage unit for storing the digital signal output from the A/D converting unit; a microprocessor unit for dividing the signal stored in the video signal storage unit into a number of regions, sampling the signal within each region, extracting image data from the sampling, and storing the image data extracted; a comparison/calculation unit for recognizing whether an intrusion has occurred, by comparing the image data extracted with image data extracted previously; and a scene data storage unit for storing scene data, which is a digital signal previously stored in the video signal storage unit and that corresponds to image data in which an intrusion has been recognized by the comparison/calculation unit.
