Abstract: A system and a method for surveilling a scene including an allowed region and a restricted region are disclosed. In an embodiment, the system includes a visual sensor configured to capture a visual image of a scene, a thermal sensor configured to capture a thermal image of the scene and a distance measuring sensor configured to capture a distance image of the scene, the scene comprising an allowed region and a restricted region. The system further includes a processor configured to generate a combined image based on the visual image, the thermal image and the distance image, wherein an object in the scene is displayed as a representation in a visual image when in the allowed region and displayed as a representation in a thermal image when in the restricted region.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a camera arrangement comprising a sensor means for generating sensor signals indicating the camera orientation and a selecting means for selecting a setting out of a plurality of settings in response to the camera-indicative sensor signals. The camera arrangement has a plurality of zoom settings and the selecting means is configured for selecting a zoom factor in response to the camera orientation detected by means of the sensor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a monitoring camera arrangement, having at least one setting axis for setting a monitoring region and a detection means in order to be able to capture and signal changes of the monitoring region. According to the invention, the detection means comprises at least one monitoring image-independent tilt detector in order to signal a monitoring region change in response to detected tilt changes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling communication between at least one stationary and at least one mobile, data-exchanging unit. In said method, a position of the mobile unit is determined, and communication is made possible in response thereto. According to the invention, a priority measure is determined in response to the determined position, and data can be transmitted from the mobile, data-exchanging unit according to the priority.
