The invention discloses a
video monitoring method and a
video monitoring device. In the technical scheme provided by the invention, a multi-
media processor receives a UHDV (ultra
high definition video) and then carries out the following two aspects of operation: on one hand, the UHDV is compressed and coded into a low-resolution compressed video
stream, the low-resolution compressed video
stream is sent to a
client; therefore, a user can monitor pictures in the UHDV by the compressed video
stream, which helps the user to know the dynamic state of the whole monitoring scene; as the data volume of the compressed video stream is less than the data volume of the UHDV, so that the network traffic for transmission of video stream can be saved; on the other hand, a picture in an object region is intercepted from the pictures of the UHDV, the picture in the object region is coded into an ultra
high definition video stream, the ultra
high definition video stream is sent to the
client, so that the user can conveniently monitor the video through viewing the ultra
high definition video stream, thereby being beneficial to monitoring, moreover, the user can clearly see the details of the pictures in the object region, therefore, the monitoring efficiency can be improved.
