A method for monitoring a monitoring area

In a method for monitoring of a monitored zone next to and / or in a Vorichtung with at least one driven movable part of video images are used which were detected in temporal sequence of at least two video cameras whose fields of view overlap at least partially in an overlap area in the monitoring area. On the basis of the detected from a first of the video cameras first video images, a first and performed a second recognition and / or tracking of objects based on the second video images detected by a second one of the video cameras, which correspond to objects at least in the overlap region. For the classification and / or determination of the position and / or movement of at least one object in the overlap region are the object determined corresponding objects of the first and second object recognition and / or object tracking and evaluated for both objects in the object detection un / or tracking data respectively determined , Depending on the evaluation, a monitoring signal is at least formed.
