Patent ID: 8625843

Claim:
A monitoring system comprising: a plurality of image-capturing apparatuses each including an event detector that executes on a corresponding captured image only some of a plurality of processing algorithms about a monitor event including region integration processing, and a transmission controller (a) that outputs to a network only a processing result of at least size of each integrated region for each moving body from the region integration processing of the executed processing algorithms without outputting the captured image when the monitor event is not determined by a management apparatus and (b) that outputs to the network the captured image for recording by the management apparatus only when an instruction to transmit the captured image is received from the management apparatus; and the management apparatus managing the plurality of image-capturing apparatuses via the network and including (1) an event determination unit that (a) determines occurrence of the monitor event in accordance with the received region integration processing results, (b) instructs the image capturing apparatus to transmit the captured image for recording only when the monitor event is determined to occur and (c) performs remaining processing algorithms of the plurality of processing algorithms on the received captured image and (2) a record controller that records the received captured image.
