Abstract

A method and a system for false alarm reduction in motion detection by scanning cameras. A method for reducing false alarms in scanning camera facilitated motion detection of an object, includes: setting a camera to observe a predefined area; continuously or non-continuously scanning by the camera of the said area for any motion; pausing the camera's scanning if a new motion is detected; analyzing the motion if it has not disappeared, while keeping the object within the camera's field of view; providing an alarm and possibly showing the motion if a motion that should be reported is obtained; and tracking the motion for a period of time at the discretion of the operator.
