BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014J Various objects and advantages and a more complete understanding of the present invention are apparent and more readily appreciated by reference to the following Detailed Description and to the appended claims when taken in conjunction with the accompanying Drawings, wherein: [0015] FIG. 1 shows the schematic diagram of the video monitoring device based on the implementation mode of the utility model.

[0016] FIG. 2 shows the schematic diagram of the wireless camera.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following combination of the implementation example and the attached drawing illustrate the utility model.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 1, a video monitoring device is proposed according to the implementation mode of the utility model, and the device includes: multiple wireless communication modules 1, wireless cameras 2, a bus 3, a power source 4, a reset device 5, a microcontroller 6, a master computer 7 and an alarm 8. ]0019] Wherein, the wireless communication modules 1, the power source 4, the reset device 5, the microcontroller 6, the master computer 7, the alarm 8 are connected to the bus 3 respectively, in order to transmit data in two-way connection. The microcontroller and/or the master computer control the wireless communication modules to send and receive signals through the bus, to realize the interaction with the wireless camera.

[0020] The wireless communication modules 1 can adopt Wi-Fi modules, Bluetooth modules, or Zigbee modules. The Wi-Fi modules can adopt the RKi6000 chips. The Bluetooth modules adopt BM77SPP03MC2 chips. The Zigbee modules can adopt MCI3224, CC2430, CC2530, etc. FIG 1 shows two wireless communication modules 1. Flowever, the above figure is not the restriction on the number of the wireless communication modules 1. According to the need of reality layout, the size of the layout space and distance, the number and position of the wireless communication modules 1 can be adjusted properly. For example, in a mall environment, one or more wireless modules can be set up on each floor of the mall. Each wireless communication module can control the movement of the multiple wireless cameras or receive the video information of the wireless cameras, so there is no need to set up a long wired connection between the camera and the controller as before. Therefore, the design of the utility model reduces the cost of the overall installation and reduces the wiring complexity in the process of mounting the video monitoring device. Each wireless module 1 is connected to the wireless camera 2 through wireless network, and the wireless camera 2 transmits the obtained video information to the wireless module 1 through the wireless network, and then to the microcontroller 6 or the master computer 7 through the bus 3.

[0021] The wireless camera 2, as shown in FIG 2, includes a camera 9, a controller 10, and a wireless transceiver 11 in sequence. The controller 10 controls the rotation of the camera 9 up and down, and controls the transceiving signals of the wireless transceiver 11. In this case, the chip used in the wireless transceiver 11 is matched with the chip of the above wireless communication module 1 to complete the transceiving of the wireless signals. For example, when the wireless communication modules 1 adopt Wi-Fi modules, the wireless transceiver 11 adopts RKi6000 chip or other chip to match the Wi-Fi modules to work. When wireless communication modules 1 adopt Bluetooth modules, the wireless transceiver 11 adopts BM77SPP03MC2 or other chip to match the Bluetooth modules. When wireless communication modules 1 adopt the Zigbee modules, the wireless transceiver 11 adopts MCI3224, CC2430, CC2530 or other chip to match the Zigbee modules. The controller 10 can use 51 series single chip or 52 series single chip. If there is need to adjust the shooting position of the camera, the control signals of the microcontroller 6 or the master computer 7 are sent to the wireless communication modules 1 through the bus 3, and then sent to the wireless camera 2 via the wireless network, to control the rotation in up and down, left and right direction of the wireless camera 2.

[0022] The bus 3 is a public communication trunk that transmits information between various functional components. It is a transmission cable consisting of wires. The bus 3 in the utility model can includes a data bus, an address bus and a control bus, which are used to transmit data, data address and control signals respectively. |0023] Power supply 4 is used to provide power for the whole video monitoring device, which can be a commercial power, and can also include a battery or a charging and discharging power devices, etc., so that the video monitoring device can still work in emergency situations such as the commercial power failed.

[0024] The reset device 5 is mainly used to monitor the change of the power supply voltage. If the system power supply is unstable when the system of the video monitoring device is electrically operated or in working, the reset device 5 will output the reset signal to stop the system from working, so as to prevent abnormal phenomena from running away or crashed. Reset device 5 can adopt NCP5663 chip, etc. If the whole video monitoring device has an error or in an abnormal working condition, the microcontroller 6 or the master computer 7 can send the control command to the reset device 5, so that the whole device can be restarted or reset.

[0025] The microcontroller 6 can adopt a single chip of STM32F030C8T6 or other type. When the main machine 7 is uncontrollable, the microcontroller 6 is able to automatically process the usual information or status, and it can trigger the reset device 5 to reset, or trigger the alarm 8 to alarm.

[0026] The master computer 7 is the center of the whole video monitoring device, and the videos obtained from all the cameras are summarized to the screen of the master computer, so as to facilitate the management personnel to monitor the entire layout of the place. The master computer is also used to send control commands to each component of the video monitoring device, such as controlling the rotation of the camera, the switch of the reset device, the alerting of the alarm and so on. Users can watch and record the video information of each camera through the master computer 7, so in case of emergency, it can be dealt with in time and effectively.

[0027] The alarm 8 can be a common acousto-optic alarm, which can alarm under the control of the master computer or microcontroller. The alarm 8 can also be a smoke alarm, when there is smoke in the environment of the video monitoring device, the alarm is alarming, and the alarm uploads the result to the microcontroller or the master computer. The alarm can also be an alarm device including an infrared sensing unit, a mobile image detection unit and a network transmission unit. For example, when the alarm device is set in the sensitive area, if the infrared sensing unit or the mobile image detection unit of the alarm device detects the entry of personnel with no authorization, the alarm can be triggered by the network transmission unit in time, to realize the function of anti-theft and security. If the device is overheating or damaged, the alarm 8 will alarm in sound and light, and give a alarm to maintenance personnel or device controller to handle it in time.

[0028] The foregoing description of embodiments of the disclosure has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the disclosure to the precise form disclosed, and modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings or may be acquired from practice of the disclosure.
