  • Patent number: 11704930
    Abstract: A vehicle monitoring system includes at least one camera, and a server that is communicably connected to the camera and a client terminal. The camera captures an occupant's face of a vehicle entering an angle of view of the camera, and transmits a captured video to the server. The server acquires an analysis results of an attribute of the vehicle, an analysis result of the occupant's face, and an analysis result of the number of occupants based on the captured video, and accumulates the acquired analysis results as analysis results of the captured video, and sends the analysis result to the client terminal in correlation with a snapshot of the captured video.

  • Publication number: 20230114363
    Abstract: A monitoring camera includes a plurality of camera units mounted in a circumferential direction of a device body, and a dome cover assembly including a dome cover collectively covering the plurality of camera units. The dome cover includes a water droplet guide surface continuous with an R surface and tilted downward as approaching an axis of the dome cover, and a water droplet receiving portion continuous with the water droplet guide surface. The camera unit includes a camera rotating a lens center axis on the virtual plane about a tilt rotation center in a direction perpendicular to the virtual plane. The water droplet receiving portion is provided outside of a field angle boundary of a field angle of the camera close to the axis in a state where the camera is tilted toward the axis side at a maximum tilt angle.
