[0003]
[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-292442
In such a monitoring system, when an abnormality such as intrusion of a suspicious person, fire or the like occurs, such an abnormality can be monitored, but the type and number of pests cannot be monitored.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
If the type and number of pests can be monitored, it will be useful not only for pest control in the future, but also to determine which pest control method is effective, and pest control will be effective.
[0006]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a monitoring system that can monitor the type and number of pests, can easily determine a pest control method, and can effectively control pests.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a monitoring system according to the present invention is a pest insect trapping device that traps pests, a surveillance camera that shoots pests captured by the pest trapping device, an image storage device that stores images from the surveillance camera, A terminal device for connecting the video from the video storage device via a network, and displaying the pests captured by the video from the surveillance camera on the terminal device.
[0008]
In this surveillance system, when a pest is caught by a pest insect trapping device, its state is photographed by a surveillance camera, and an image from the surveillance camera is stored in an image storage device.
Since the video storage device is connected to the terminal device via the network, the captured pests can be displayed on the terminal device by the video from the surveillance camera, and the type and number of the pests can be monitored.
[0009]
The insect pest trapping device preferably has an adhesive layer of one color for catching insect pests on its surface, and is preferably divided into equal areas by vertical and horizontal line segments.
Since the adhesive layer that captures the pests is one color, if the pests are captured on the surface, the capture status is easy to understand, and if the pests are divided into equal areas, the number of pests per unit area is easy to determine.
[0010]
The terminal device has a display means for displaying an image of the captured pest, a pest recognition means for recognizing the color of the pest, a range designating means for specifying the range of the captured pest, and counting the number of pests in the range of the captured pest. It is preferable to have a pest number counting means and a pest number display means for displaying the pest number.
By means of the pest number display means for displaying the number of pests, the number of pests can be easily known, the method of controlling pests can be easily determined, and pest control can be performed effectively.
[0011]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
One embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 1, a pest monitoring system includes a pest trap device 1 for trapping pests, a surveillance camera 2 for photographing pests caught by the pest trap device 1, and a video storage device 3 for storing video from the surveillance camera 2. The terminal device 4 connects the video from the video storage device 3 via the network 5, and displays the pests captured by the video from the monitoring camera 2 on the terminal device 4.
[0012]
The pest insect trapping apparatus 1 has an attracting lamp (not shown) for attracting the pests and an adhesive sheet 1a for capturing the attracted pests.
As shown in FIG. 2, the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet 1a preferably has a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of one color for capturing pests on its surface and is divided into equal areas by vertical and horizontal line segments.
[0013]
In such an adhesive sheet 1a, since the adhesive layer has one color, it is easy to understand the color balance with the captured pest.
Further, since the area is divided into equal areas by the vertical and horizontal line segments 1b, the amount of pests captured per unit area is clear at a glance and easy to understand.
[0014]
The monitoring camera 2 is installed in the vicinity of the insect pest trap 1 so that the insect pest trapped by the insect pest trap 1 can be photographed, and is set to photograph the insect pest periodically.
The surveillance camera 2 has a function of sufficiently photographing with only the light source of the induction lamp, but may be equipped with an infrared CCD element so as to photograph even in a dark state.
[0015]
The image storage device 3 is a device for storing images of the surveillance camera 2, a server for connecting to a network, an authentication server for authenticating a user of a terminal device, a database for managing various databases such as user information, and a server function. It is good also as a computer with.
[0016]
The image storage device 3 is a computer in this embodiment, and stores a program for realizing each function of the monitoring system of the present application. It is connected to the.
[0017]
The image storage device 3 stores an image of the pest insect trapping device 1 that is an image captured by the monitoring camera 2.
The image storage device 3 stores images that the monitoring camera 2 periodically shoots, and is connected to a terminal device 4 via a network 5.
The terminal device 4 is a personal computer. With this personal computer, the terminal device 4 can be connected to the video storage device 3 via the network 5. The image is displayed on the display unit of the personal computer, and the image from the surveillance camera 2 can be viewed.
[0019]
As shown in FIG. 3, the personal computer which is the terminal device 4 has a display means 41 for displaying an image of the insect pest, a pest recognition means 42 for recognizing the color of the insect, and a range for specifying the area of the insect pest. A program is provided which includes a designation means 43, a pest number counting means 44 for counting the number of pests in the range of the captured pests, and a pest number display means 45 for displaying the number of pests.
[0020]
According to such a monitoring system, it is possible to connect to the video storage device 3 via the network 5 by key input of a personal computer.
Then, the video taken by the surveillance camera 2 is displayed on the display means 41, and the pests are recognized by the pest recognition means 42 for recognizing the color of the pests.
As shown in FIG. 4, an adhesive sheet 1a capturing pests is captured in the captured image, but since the adhesive layer of the adhesive sheet 1a is one color, the color balance with the captured pests is clear, Easy to recognize color.
The color of the adhesive sheet 1a is preferably a bright color so as to be easily compared with a blackish pest, and is, for example, green or yellow.
[0021]
After that, the range of the captured pest is designated by the range designation means 43. Since the adhesive sheet 1a is divided into equal areas by vertical and horizontal line segments 1b, the range of the pests can be easily specified by the range specifying means 43.
[0022]
After the range of the captured pests is specified by the range specifying means 43, the number of pests in the range of the captured pests is counted by the pest number counting means 44 as shown in FIG. After the number of pests has been counted, as shown in FIG. 6, when the number of pests is displayed by the pest number display means 45, the number of pests is specifically displayed, so that pest control can be easily performed.
[0023]
Further, since the video taken by the surveillance camera 2 can be displayed by the display means 41, the type of the pest can be known and the extermination method can be performed accurately.
[0024]
