The invention belongs to the field of video monitoring, and provides a method and device for controlling a linkage-tracking moving target of a monitoring device, wherein the method comprises the following steps: receiving the geographic information data of a moving target, wherein a satellite tracking / positioning device is mounted on the moving target, and the geographic information data is acquired by a satellite positioning / receiving system; according to the geographic information data of the moving target, selecting a monitoring device from a monitoring system camera archive; and tracking the moving target by the monitoring device. According to the invention, through mounting the satellite tracking / positioning device on the moving target, the GIS (geographic information system) data is transmitted in real time, then the monitoring system selects and commands an appropriate monitoring device to track the moving target, and when the moving target is out of the tracking range of the monitoring device, a monitoring system software platform selects another appropriate monitoring device to relay the tracking process according to the information of the moving target, so that the overall tracking on targets can be realized, and a plurality of monitoring devices in a ground monitoring system operates harmoniously, thereby realizing the tracking on the whole monitoring area with larger range and less blind spots.
