Next, the monitoring setting operation of the intercom system configured as described above will be described based on the display display explanatory diagram of FIG. When the monitor setting mode is entered by a predetermined operation of the touch panel 13, a monitor setting screen as shown in FIG. On the monitoring setting screen, a monitoring setting button for setting the status of individual monitoring / non-monitoring of the security device is displayed on the entire surface, and at the same time, the status of each security equipment 3 is displayed. Here, the crime prevention equipment is composed of four monitoring setting buttons of “entrance A”, “entrance B”, “window A”, and “window B”, and shows that the crime prevention equipment is installed at four locations. Thus, the display 6 is a display unit for displaying the state of the crime prevention equipment as well as the operation unit, and serves as a monitoring setting selection unit.
Note that “entrance A” corresponds to the first door 7a, “entrance B” corresponds to the second door 7b, “window A” corresponds to the first window 8a, and “window B” corresponds to the second window 8b. . The monitoring setting selection means is controlled by the master CPU 15.

FIG. 3A shows an initial screen in the monitoring setting mode, and this screen is displayed when the monitoring setting screen is entered. This screen displays the current state of each crime prevention facility. Here, “entrance A” is displayed in red, for example, and the first door 7a is in an open state, indicating that monitoring cannot be set.
When entering the monitoring setting mode, the base unit CPU 15 obtains the security equipment information from each security equipment 3 via the security equipment I / F circuit 18 and displays the information in different colors based on the information. When the crime prevention equipment 3a of “entrance A” is in an open state, the display 6 displays in a different color so that it can be visually recognized as an open state as described above. As a result, when the monitor is set, the state of opening / closing of the monitoring target can be confirmed at a glance in advance, so that the notification of the door closing confirmation message is not made when the monitor is set, and the user can set it with peace of mind.

  FIG. 3B shows a screen at the time of outing monitoring setting, and shows that the “outing” button has been pressed and all four monitoring setting buttons are set to the monitoring state.

In this case as well, as with the outing monitoring setting, all the monitoring setting buttons are displayed in blue different from the surrounding colors, so that the monitoring setting can be seen at a glance.

  FIG. 3D shows a screen when individual monitoring is set. By pressing the monitoring setting buttons individually, only the crime prevention equipment that has been pressed enters the monitoring state, and automatically enters the individual monitoring setting state. Also in this case, only the pressed button is displayed in blue, which is different from the other buttons. If the monitoring state is to be canceled, the monitor setting button is pressed again, and the blue color disappears and the monitoring state is set.

  More specifically, FIG. 3 (d) shows a case where the monitoring setting buttons of “entrance A” and “window A” are pressed to enter the monitoring state. When the monitoring setting button is pressed, the master CPU 15 receives the information and puts the security equipment 3a, 3c into the monitoring state via the security equipment I / F circuit 18. The master CPU 15 transfers the security equipment monitoring information to the display 6 and displays the buttons “entrance A” and “window A” as monitoring display. As a result, the display color changes so that the display on the display 6 can be visually recognized as the monitoring state as in the monitoring setting screen of FIG. At this time, the base unit CPU 15 stores in the storage unit 14 that the crime prevention facilities 3a and 3c are in a monitoring state.

  Then, if a security abnormality occurs in the door 7 or the window 8 such as a front door that is in the monitoring state after the monitoring setting has been made, an abnormality detection signal is sent from the security equipment 3 and passed through the security equipment I / F circuit 18. Is received by the base unit CPU 15. The base unit CPU 15 that has received the abnormality detection signal sounds an alarm sound through the speaker 16 via the amplifier 17 of the living room base unit 2, displays an alarm notification on the display 6 of the living room base unit 2, and also uses the entrance door. The alarm sound is also sounded from the machine 1. In addition, the mobile terminal 4 can be notified via the external connection transmission / reception circuit 19 and the antenna 19a.

As described above, since the security equipment to be set to the monitoring state can be selected, when there is a security equipment that is not desired to be operated, the other security equipment can be set to the monitoring state without monitoring and setting the security equipment. Therefore, it can be set to the monitoring state with the windows and doors to be opened open, and can be opened after the monitoring state is set, which is convenient for monitoring setting at home.
In addition, since it can be selected and set from the parent room, the resident can select and monitor the crime prevention equipment by himself and can easily change the setting according to the situation, which is highly convenient.
Furthermore, since the security equipment is individually set by directly touching the display on which the status of the security equipment is displayed, it is easy to operate and there is no need to provide a separate selection switch etc. by using the touch panel. The configuration can be simplified.

On the other hand, it is possible to individually set the surveillance equipment 3 from the mobile terminal 4 such as a mobile phone. When the room master 2 is called from the portable terminal 4 and connected, the setting information from the portable terminal 4 is received by the external connection transmission / reception circuit 19 and transmitted to the parent CPU 15.
In this way, monitoring settings can be made from the place where the user is away from home, and it is possible to easily cope with the case where the user forgets to set the user when going out.

The names of the monitoring setting buttons displayed on the display 6 can be changed. For the change operation, the crime prevention equipment 3 to be changed displayed on the monitoring setting screen is entered by, for example, long pressing the crime prevention equipment 3 to enter the name change mode, and the display 6 becomes the name change means. For example, a plurality of names stored in advance are displayed on the display 6 by entering the name change mode, and the name change is performed by selecting one of them. The contents of the change are stored in the storage unit 14 by the base unit CPU 15. Thereby, the name change of the crime prevention equipment 3 displayed on the display 6 can be performed.
In this way, the display of the monitor setting button can be given an easy-to-understand name in accordance with the installation location of the crime prevention equipment, and the monitoring setting operation is not mistaken. For example, when there is only one entrance door, “entrance B” can be changed to, for example, “bathroom”, and the installation location of the security equipment can be easily understood at a glance.
