Abstract: A method for processing events in a server for a video surveillance system, includes: when the server detects occurrence of an event, transmitting a collection command to one or more cameras; analyzing specifications of the cameras, determining a set value for functions of cameras capable of processing the event, and transmitting a setting command to cameras; transmitting an execution command to the cameras, and processing and storing video data received from the cameras; and transmitting a completion command to the cameras, and completing the event processing. Each of the cameras including function units for performing different functions includes common frameworks which enable function units to perform the different function in a uniform manner.

Abstract: Disclosed is a network photographing apparatus including a partial encryption function capable of encrypting only a portion of objects included in images. A network photographing apparatus including a partial encryption function, includes an object information extracting unit that receives digital image data from a photographing unit, analyzes a plurality of objects included in the digital image data, and generates object information data; an image compressing unit that processes the digital image data with compression data; and an encryption unit that searches encryption target object information data among the object information data received from the object information extracting unit and generates and sends out the encrypted compression data by encrypting only a part of the compression data, the part corresponding to the encryption target object information data.
