As shown in FIG. 2, when the monitoring terminal 100 located at a place requiring monitoring is activated (S200), the motion detecting unit 104 of the monitoring terminal 100 detects a degree of dynamic movement at a place requiring monitoring. And, the noise detection unit 106 of the monitoring terminal 100 detects the noise level at the place where the monitoring is necessary (S202). In this case, activation of the monitoring terminal 100 means that an arbitrary object is photographed through the photographing unit 102, and image data of the photographed object is monitored through the transmitter 108, the wired / wireless network 10, or the like. A state transmitted to 200).

The motion detection data and the noise detection data through the motion detector 104 and the noise detector 106 of the monitoring terminal 100 are transmitted from the transmitter 108 to the monitoring manager 200 through the wired / wireless network 10.

The motion detection data and the noise detection data transmitted to the monitoring manager 200 are received through the receiver 202, and the motion detection data and the noise detection data received through the receiver 202 are transferred to the controller 204. In this case, the monitoring manager 200 may receive only the image data from the monitoring terminal 100 (the state does not display the image data from the monitoring terminal 100) or the existing image information (eg, the broadcast image). Information) is displayed.

Thereafter, the controller 204 determines whether the motion detection data or the noise detection data is equal to or greater than a preset value stored in the storage unit 206 (S206).

As a result of the determination in step S206, if it is determined that the motion detection data or the noise detection data is equal to or greater than a preset value, the controller 204 may display the image data photographed through the photographing unit 102 of the monitoring terminal 100. The display processor 208 is controlled to display in In Picture (S208). That is, in the state in which the arbitrary broadcast video information is displayed through the monitoring manager 200 (the video data from the monitoring terminal 100 is only received), the motion detection data or the noise detection data is above a preset value. If detected, the controller 204 controls the display processor 208 such that the image data from the monitoring terminal 100 is displayed in the PIP form on the original broadcast image information.

In this state in which the image data from the monitoring terminal 100 is displayed as a PIP on the image screen of the monitoring manager 200, the controller 204 determines whether there is a user confirmation within a preset time (S210). That is, it is determined whether a user recognizes that a specific situation occurs in a place where monitoring is required and displays captured image data by PIP.

As a result of the determination in step S210, if there is a user confirmation within a preset time, the control unit 204 returns the monitoring manager 200 to a previous mode, for example, a broadcast image information display mode. Such a return to the broadcast image information display mode is optional in this embodiment, and may be set so that the captured image data being displayed by the PIP is continuously displayed as necessary.

On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step S210, when there is no user confirmation during the preset time, the control unit 204 proceeds to step S212.

In step S212, the control unit 204 outputs an arbitrary warning message, for example, "a motion (or noise) was detected at the monitoring place." The warning message may be output in a text form or a voice form through the OSD unit 210 and the voice transmitter 212.

As described above, the present invention can efficiently monitor the monitoring place through a general video device in a surveillance environment through a wired or wireless network, and adapts according to the state of the surveillance environment without continuously displaying image data photographed through a camera. It is implemented to display by default.
