Meanwhile, a television system is classified into a closed circuit system and an open circuit system,

The latter is aimed at delivering image information to an unspecified number of people. The TV broadcast we usually talk about belongs here, and the former refers to a system that delivers image information to a specific user for a specific purpose. Surveillance cameras belong here.

An encoder is a converter that converts a signal of a certain code series into a signal of a different code series in a digital electronic circuit. In general, a video signal (analog signal) input from a surveillance camera is converted into a digital signal in real time Compression, and storage devices.

In addition, DVR (Digital Video Recording) system has a function of capturing an image digitized by the encoder on an image capture board, compressing and storing it on a computer hard disk, and recording and searching , A monitoring function that allows multiple camera images to be divided and monitored on a single monitor, and a remote monitoring function that can be used to monitor recording and real-time video on a telephone line, LAN, Video digital recording and surveillance system equipment.

In general, loss in a shopping center or a large store is caused by inventory loss caused by storage, management difficulty, opportunity loss due to lack of goods, loss caused by customer's injustice or negation of store staff There is a loss of goods in the store and a cash loss caused by the calculation mistake or negation of the counter staff. In the modern age, the POS system is used to reduce the inventory loss or opportunity loss by performing product management and customer management. Is installed in the corner of the store to reduce the loss of goods lost in the store. However, the staff at the counter can not intercept the product code (manufacturer code, item code, etc.) It prevents the occurrence of various cash loss from counter I can not.

Specifically, in the POS system, when a bar code is displayed to display the object value, and finally, the enter key of the keyboard is input, the object is stored as the calculated value. If the enter key is not inputted, the stored value is not stored. Therefore, conventionally, after receiving a cash payment, a counter employee may intercept the money without inputting the enter key.

Conventionally, in order to solve such a problem, a surveillance camera for monitoring the counter staff is provided, and the surveillance camera image and force data are synthesized and stored.

However, this conventional method has a problem that since the amount of data is large and is updated every week, it can not be used in a critical period.
