Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the field of burglar alarms, in particular to mobile video surveillance devices intended for visual monitoring of a protected area and perimeter, as well as for mobile protection of open areas and perimeters, approaches and ways of movement.

State of the art

Known high-resolution video surveillance system (RF patent for the invention No. 2336659, class IPC H04N 7/24, H04L 29/04, publ. 10/20/2008) containing at least one camera with a CCD matrix transmitting a video stream to the device of the item observation with an encoding unit, which is capable of capturing a video signal and converting it into a stream of frames in RAW or BMP format, with subsequent conversion of graphic frames into three formats, in the first of which each frame is automatically reduced in size at a rate of 25 frames per second for subsequent display on the monitors of the observation point. In parallel with this, in the second format, each frame undergoes contour compression of graphic files and is compressed at a speed of 5 frames per second and sent in compressed form for storage to the device of the observation point. At the same time, in the third format, each frame is reduced, it is subjected to contour compression of graphic files at a speed of 5-12 frames per second and transmitted in streaming mode via radio communication channels to mobile video display facilities.

The disadvantages of the system are relatively low autonomy and mobility.

Known small-frame mobile video surveillance system (RF patent for the invention No. 2504015, class IPC G08G1 / 054, G08G1 / 017, publ. 06/20/2016), consisting of a central control panel, a group of security sensors and a group of geographically remote video monitoring points having a first radio channel communication with security sensors and a second radio communication channel with a central control panel. The system is powered by battery or rechargeable power sources using inactive standby modes and active video monitoring.

A disadvantage of the known system is the lack of responsiveness to events due to the low frame rate of the system, as well as the relatively low image quality, especially in night mode.

Closest to the claimed complex is a radar protection system for territories with a low-frame video surveillance system and the optimal number of security forces (RF patent for the invention No. 2595532, CL G08B 25/00, G08B 19/00, G01S 3/72, publ. 08/27/2016) , which consists of the following groups of equipment: a set of detection tools operating on different physical principles (radar stations, video cameras and thermal imagers), communication lines, a central security console (CPO), as well as security forces equipment containing one or more sets of equipment technical means of force response groups (TS GSR), automated workstations (AWS) of operators as part of the CPO, switchboard and stationary terminal of the CPO. Each workstation contains an additional recognition device, a monitoring terminal and a stationary workstation terminal. Each set of TS GSR contains a mobile terminal of the navigator, GLONASS / GPS navigator, a mobile radio communication terminal and a portable security control panel.

A disadvantage of the known radar system is its lack of mobility, since only the navigator terminal is mobile in this system. The system also has limited functionality, since it is specifically designed to protect objects and their perimeters.

The implementation of the invention

The basic structure of an autonomous mobile complex of video thermal imaging surveillance includes at least one thermal imager 1.6 and at least one video camera 1.5 mounted on a rotary device 1.7, which, in turn, is mounted on a quick-expanding mast (not shown in Fig. ) and connected through channel 1.4 data to computer 2.1 with preinstalled software that provides control and monitoring, as well as including at least one autonomous power source (1.11 or 1.12) for power supply parts of the complex, the recharge of which is carried out using renewable energy sources.

Computer 2.1 is preinstalled with specially developed software that provides monitoring and control of equipment, as well as two-way interaction of the operator with the components of the complex and establishes the logical schemes of its operation.

The quick-release mast can be pneumatic or mechanical.

Channel 1.4 data can be wired or wireless.

By introducing additional devices into the basic structure of an autonomous mobile complex: detectors (sensors), radar stations (radars), computers (for example, laptops), thermal imagers, the user has the opportunity to increase the complex’s functionality and configure its structure based on its tasks.

The following complex options can be formed, for example:

Development kit No. 1 includes: security detectors 1.1 mounted on a tripod (or clamp), a repeater 1.2 for extending the detector installation range, individual sirens 1.3, a charger 1.13 for charging battery packs 1.9, 1.10 of the complex’s components and a wearable kit 3 for complex management over the air.

To recharge the battery packs 1.9, 1.10, an electrical network or solar energy can be used.

Development kit No. 2 is designed to monitor open land and water spaces and includes a 1.8 radar, which allows you to display the trajectory of movement, the distance to various moving objects, such as a person, car, boat, etc., provides tracking objectives optically -electronic complex.

Development Kit No. 3 is designed to organize a single information space of the complex when using Development Kit No. 2. It includes a secure computer 2.1 with preinstalled software. The kit provides reception, processing and storage of information received from the equipment of the base complex, its display in real time.

Development kit No. 4 includes a thermal imager 1.6 with an improved sensor and an increased target detection range (car / person) up to 7900/4000 km.

Autonomous mobile complex video thermal imaging surveillance works as follows.

When the complex operates in automatic mode, the rotary device 1.7 directs the long-range camera 1.5 and the thermal imager 1.6 to the observation points pre-configured by the operator.

When detecting movement in a protected zone by one or several detectors 1.1, an alarm notification is generated, then it is transmitted by radio channel to monitoring post 2 and wearable kit 3, and a complex algorithm of actions previously created by the user is activated. After fixing the notification, the operator is notified of the alarm by a sound signal, and the status icon (color change) of the detector 1.1 on the mimic map also changes. Then, from monitoring station 2, a command is issued to the rotary device 1.7, which is automatically aimed at the location of the detector 1.1.

Upon receipt of an alarm notification to an individual siren 1.3, it is fixed, with the issuance of an individual sound, light and vibration alert.

Information about the state of the components of the complex (malfunction, battery charge, opening the case, etc.) is sent to monitoring post 2 and wearable kit 3 in the form of formalized notifications.

The complex performs the functions of determining (clarifying) the place of violation of the protected area, with the command (signal) “Alarm” and the display of information in real time on the monitor of the station part and archiving events.

The complex is used to protect open areas and perimeters, approaches and ways of movement to important objects and is used as the main or auxiliary line of protection.

The mobility of the complex is provided by the quick-mounted / collapsible design of the components of the product.

The complex has the ability to determine the location of personnel on a map using a GLONASS / GPS receiver.

The complex allows you to solve the following tasks:

- Intelligent video surveillance of large open spaces in real time;

- Organization of a communication channel with a remote monitoring post;

- Detection of the intruder by means of a security alarm and transmission of notifications for processing information to a monitoring post with automatic video confirmation of targets at points of operation of security detectors.

Together with the help of the FineTrack software, video analysis capabilities are implemented. “FineTrack” is an intelligent motion detector implemented in the video surveillance subsystem, which allows not only to determine the presence of motion in the frame, but also provides a range of additional features and tools for analyzing the behavior of objects. With it, you can analyze the trajectory of the objects, control the entry and exit of the zones specified by the user. FineTrack also detects and highlights abandoned or stolen items. And the function of automatic tracking of moving objects with the help of a PTZ camera allows the operator to easily control the situation in a large area.
