Abstract
Method and device for controlling a video recording attribute such as a frame rate and/or an exposure value to suitably record a video depending on a velocity of an object detected by a camera module are provided. The device for controlling a video recording attribute of a camera module includes: a video input unit that receives video data corresponding to frames from the camera module; a motion information acquiring unit that acquires motion information between two successive frames; a video recording attribute determining unit that determines the video recording attribute of the camera module on the basis of the motion information; and a camera module controller that generates a camera module control signal for causing the camera module to perform a video recording operation on the basis of the determined video recording attribute and outputs the camera module control signal to the camera module. Accordingly, it is possible to enhance the processability of an object moving at a high velocity in a surveillance area to accurately detect the object by controlling a video recording attribute (a frame rate and/or an exposure value) of a camera module depending on the velocity of the object moving in the surveillance area.
