  • Publication number: 20120039188
    Abstract: A method tests network ports of a network connection device. Multiple port pairs of the network connection device are set. Each of the port pairs includes an external network port and an internal network port of the network connection device. Each internal network port is connected to a loopback device. For each port pair, a data packet is created and transmitted from the external network port of the port pair to the internal network port of the port pair. The data packet transmitted to the internal network port of the selected port pair is compared with a corresponding data packet returned from the internal network port of the selected port pair via the corresponding loopback device. A test result of the port pair is displayed by a display device to indicate whether data transfer of the port pair is normal.

  • Publication number: 20110176006
    Abstract: A processing unit receives information of the intruder from a detection unit and compares the received information with the camera database stored in a storage unit, to determine a next monitored area that the intruder will enter. If the intruder remains in the current monitored area, the processing unit controls the camera of the current monitored area to capture the images of the intruder and sends the images to the detection unit. If the intruder enters an intersection area of the current monitored area and the next monitored area, the processing unit obtains the camera of the current monitored area and a camera corresponding to the next monitored area from the camera database and controls the cameras of the current monitored area and the next monitored area to capture the images of the corresponding monitored areas and sends the images to the detection unit.

  • Publication number: 20110161819
    Abstract: A video search device is provided to quickly obtain desired video segments. A video search system of the video search device sequentially reads an audio file and a video file from first predetermined time, and determines whether an intensity of audio signals of the audio file is greater than a predetermined value. An audio signal time position of the audio file is determined to be an index time for searching a desired video segment in response so that the intensity of the audio signal is greater than the predetermined value. The video search system selects a segment of videos of the video file as the desired video segment during a period of second predetermined time based on the index time of the audio file, and stores the desired video segment.
