Monitoring device

Abstract

The invention concerns a monitoring device with a multi-camera device and an object tracking device for the high resolution observation of moving objects. Hereby it is provided that the object tracking device comprises an image integration device for the generation of a total image from the individual images of the multi-camera device and a cut-out definition device for the definition, independent from the borders of the individual images, of the to be observed cut-out.
