The most convenient and most useful way is to use photography, public or commercial aspects, especially when dynamic changes of the monitored object are required, or when there are intruders, etc. (Vide.e⑽⑽) to record important places, and provide real-time images to monitors for optimal security protection. rtp Due to the consideration of time, money, environment and other factors, it is impossible for the blue controller to monitor every action on the display at all times: and when the monitor moves to another location, it is impossible to control the security burden of each place. 15 In order to grasp the advance and step-by-step actions, in view of the above requirements, although a method and system that can be used for remote monitoring by the monitor is needed. One kind of surveillance method used in the past is to set up the photographic devices at various locations, and then 'control each photographic device by (or multiple) computers'. Finally, use a computer via a network card, modem, or other The physical line is connected to the Internet (W), so when the monitor is remote, it can be monitored through the Internet. However, 'Because the Internet is based on the communication protocol of W, each power station has its own unique IP address, but it is also because of this: that is, when the monitor has several computers, The control points and points are monitored through the Internet, that is, keep in mind that 2 IP = 20 200412550 per-Taipower 发明, description of the invention (2) can only specify a specific camera device for monitoring. In addition, in the above-mentioned remote monitoring method, although the corresponding application software and remote control software are installed in the computer controlling the camera device, the remote computer must also have the same remote control software. In this way, the monitor can perform remote monitoring through the network, which is not only inconvenient to use but also lacks user-friendly interface use options and integrated functions, so it is not favored by users. [Summary of the Invention] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a remote monitoring method and system capable of remote monitoring through the Internet 10-15 channels, and having a better user interface and integrated functions. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, the method of "remote monitoring" is invented.
