Abstract:

The present invention is to provide a system and method for monitoring a location that may include detecting motion in an area and providing an audible message in the area where motion is detected. The system may include a central processing unit (CPU), one or more video cameras coupled to the CPU, each camera monitoring an area and transmitting a video signal of the area to the CPU, and one or more audio output devices (AODs) coupled to the CPU, each AOD capable of producing an output and providing the output to at least one of the areas. A system may be provided in which the CPU is programmed to analyze the video signals from the video cameras to detect whether there is motion in one or more of the areas and transmits an audio file to the AODs producing an output to the one or more areas in which motion is detected. A method according the present invention includes the steps of monitoring at least one area using one or more video cameras, transmitting one or more video signals of the at least one area from each of the video cameras to a central processing unit (CPU); detecting motion in the at least one area; and transmitting an audio file over one or more AODs in the at least one area when motion is detected in the at least one area.
