Abstract

PURPOSE:To transmit a video message to a living room unit without fail by recording the video signal of a guest to a picture memory exclusive for guest in a recorder provided in the living room unit and recording a video message from a custodian room unit to the living room unit to a picture memory exclusive for video message. CONSTITUTION:When a guest operates a selection button 2b of a multiple dwelling entrance unit 2 with camera and selects a living room unit TE1, a controller 1 connects a call between the centralized entrance unit 2 with camera and the living room unit TE1. Then, a video signal picked up by a camera eye 2a of the centralized entrance unit 2 with camera is recorded to a picture memory ME1 of a recorder U1 in the living room unit TE1. Recording is executed at suitable time after finishing the operation for a recording button, which is provided at a call unit U1, or the selection of the guest. When the call and the video signal are not exchanged between the centralized entrance unit 2 with camera and the living room unit TE1 and the video message is sent from a video message transmitter 4 to a living room unit TEn, the video message is recorded to a picture memory ME2 by the living room unit TEn.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a video message recording system for an apartment complex,
In particular, the present invention relates to a message recording system for an apartment complex that can record a video signal of a visitor captured by a television camera of a collective entrance unit equipped with a camera and a video message from a manager's room unit using a recording device in a room unit.

[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention] As shown in FIG. 2, the conventional video message system for apartment complexes connects a collective entrance unit 22 with a camera to a control device 21, and has a built-in camera installed in the collective entrance unit 22. Camera eye 22a of the TV camera
to image visitors. To take an image of a visitor, if the visitor selects the station TEn (n is 11.12...) using the channel selection button 22b of the collective entrance unit with camera 22, the television camera built into the collective entrance unit with camera 22 will take an image of the visitor. becomes active and the room unit TE
The visitor video signal can be monitored on the television monitor U2 connected to the communication unit U1 of n.

In addition, a video message sending device 2 installed in the manager's room 23
4 to the room unit TEn via the transmission path 25, the room unit TEn can monitor the video message from the manager's room 23 on the television monitor U2.

In the above-described video message system for apartment complexes, the video message is directly monitored on the television monitor U2 of the room unit TEn, so if the user is absent at that time, the video message cannot be received by the room unit TEn.

Furthermore, when the video message sending device 24 is sending out a video message, the transmission path 5 is monopolized, so
During this time, there is a drawback that the collective entrance machine 22 with camera does not function.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned difficulties.The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned difficulties. A video message recording system for apartment complexes that can record a visitor's video signal and a video message from a manager's room unit without being mixed in the image memory by recording the video message, and can reliably transmit the video message to the room unit. The purpose is to provide

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a video message recording system for apartment complexes, in which a video signal of a visitor imaged by a television camera of a camera-equipped collective entrance unit is provided in the room unit. The video message is recorded in the visitor-dedicated image memory of the recording device, and the video message from the manager's room unit to the resident room device is recorded in the video message-dedicated image memory of the recording device.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the video message recording system for an apartment complex according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a control device. A control device 1, a collective entrance device 2 with a camera equipped with a camera eye 2a and a channel selection button 2b, a manager's room device 3, and a video message sending device 4 installed near the manager's room device 3 are connected to transmission lines 5, respectively.・・・・・・
Connect with. In addition, the control device 1 and the room unit TEn (n is 1.2...) are connected via the transmission line 5, and the camera-equipped collective entrance unit 2, the manager's room unit 3, the video message sending device 4, and the room unit are connected. Communication with the TEn and transmission and reception of video signals are performed under the control of the control device 1.

The room unit TEn is a recording device u provided with an image memory MEn (n=1 is dedicated to visitors, n=2 is dedicated to video messages). A telephone unit U and a television monitor U2 are installed. Recording device U. digitizes the input analog video signal and creates an image memory M composed of semiconductor memory elements.
It has the function of recording digital video signals on the En and outputting the recorded digital video signals as 4 analog video signals during playback.

[Operation of the invention] When a visitor operates the channel selection button 2b of the collective entrance unit 2 with a camera to select a channel on the living room unit TE1 in the video message recording system for an apartment complex having the above configuration, the control device 1 controls the collective entrance unit with a camera. 2 and the room unit TE are connected. When the collective entrance machine with camera 2 and the room unit TE□ are connected, the video signal imaged by the camera eye 2a of the collective entrance machine with camera 2 is recorded in the image memory ME1 of the recording device U□ of the room unit TE1. Recording is performed at an appropriate time, such as by pressing a record button provided on the telephone unit U1 or after the visitor finishes selecting a channel.

When the video message sending device 4 sends a video message to the room unit TEn when there is no telephone call or transmission/reception of video signals between the camera-equipped collective entrance unit 2 and the room unit TE, the video message is sent to the room unit TEn. Image memory ME
2 will be recorded. Furthermore, when there is no unrecorded portion in the visitor-only image memory MF1, it is not recorded in the video message-only image memory, but is overcoated and recorded sequentially from the first recorded portion.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above embodiments, the video message recording method for apartment complexes according to the present invention is a recording device in which a video signal of a visitor captured by a television camera of a collective entrance unit with a camera is provided in a room unit. Since the video message from the manager's room unit to the room unit is recorded in the video message dedicated image memory of the recording device, the video signal of the visitor and the manager's room are recorded. The video message from the machine can be recorded without being mixed into the image memory, and the video message can be reliably transmitted to the room machine.
