Abstract
The subject of this invention is the network camera comprising an image sensor, image processor, and network interface, where image processor is capable of detecting the motion in the field of view of the camera, extracting/windowing the portion (sub-window) of the image that corresponds to that motion and submitting thus identified sub-window to the network interface hardware for transmission and where said image processor is also capable of submitting to the network interface the full field of view reduced-resolution (decimated) image either as the only image to be transmitted or as the image to be transmitted in a time-interleaved fashion with the said image window containing the motion.
