The signal is amplified and a sound such as sound or alarm sound is output from the speaker 5.
Further, the display LED is turned on through the display I / F unit 9 to display the operation state of the human sensor 8.

  The DC power used in the dummy camera body 30a is converted from commercial power to DC by the AC-DC power supply unit 12 and supplied as DC power through the DC power / battery power switching unit 11. If it is cut off, etc., the DC power source / battery power source switching unit 11 switches to the battery power source unit 10 and outputs the result. When the power failure is restored, the DC power source / battery power source switching unit 11 switches to the AC-DC power source unit 12 again to output DC.

  As shown in FIG. 2, when the speaker 5 is disposed on the front lens portion of the dummy camera 30 and the human sensor 8 is disposed on the bottom surface, the front of the dummy camera is directed in the direction in which the person moves or is present. Voices and alarm sounds are easy to hear, and it is easy to call attention to people. Also, as shown in FIG. 3, when the human sensor 8 is disposed at the lens mounting position of the dummy camera body 30a, it becomes easy to install the front of the dummy camera in the direction in which the person moves or is present, and Excellent sensitivity to detect people. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the human sensor 8 is disposed on the bottom surface of the dummy camera body 30a, the speaker 5 is disposed on the side surface, and a dummy lens is mounted on the front surface, so that it may be a real surveillance camera. Can be made.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, the monitoring dummy camera 30 provided with a plurality of human detection sensors 8 in the dummy camera body 30a and also having an external sensor will be described. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same part as the case where the person detection sensor 8 shown previously is single.
As shown in FIG. 5, the dummy camera main body 30a includes a plurality of human detection sensors 8 for detecting the presence of a person, sound units 14, 15, 3 for registering and reproducing a predetermined sound message, and sound output means. 4 and 5, and a control processing unit 6 for controlling the sound unit and sound output means based on the reaction of the human sensor 8 to output a sound message, a date and time generation unit 16 and an external sensor I / F unit 17. ing.

FIG. 5 shows a specific circuit in the case where there are a plurality of human detection sensors 8. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 14 denotes an interface with a personal computer or the like, and sound data created by the personal computer or the like and a plurality of human detection sensors 8 or The sound / management data I / F unit selects a sound message in association with the external sensor 18 and the date and time.
15 stores sound / management data transferred from the personal computer once in the ROM, calls the management data in association with the date and time, and selects and retrieves sound data according to the called management data. It is a recording part.
Reference numeral 16 denotes a clock with a calendar function capable of date and time, and is a date and time generation unit that outputs current date and time data.
Reference numeral 17 denotes an external sensor I / F unit that receives a contact signal from an external sensor push button switch or the like and outputs a digital signal from which noise or the like is removed.
Reference numeral 18 denotes an external sensor or a push button switch.

Next, the operation and operation of the monitoring dummy camera 30 having a plurality of human detection sensors 8, the external sensor 18 connected, and a clock function as described above will be described.
First, a plurality of sound message data such as voice to be output in advance by a personal computer or the like and a plurality of management data programmed to select which message according to the date and time are created, and the sound / management data I / F unit 14 of the dummy camera body 30a is created. And stored in the ROM of the sound / management data recording unit 15. An appropriate sound message and management data are switched and selected by the operation switch unit 13 according to the installation location.

The dummy camera body 30a in which the sound data and management data are stored, the human sensor 8 can detect the movement of the person near the entrance and exit, and the speaker 5 is installed with a normal monitoring camera facing the direction in which the sound of the speaker can be heard. Install it using the camera mounting bracket in the place to be turned on, turn on the power and wait.
When a person is detected by the human detection sensor 8, the human detection sensor processing unit 7 converts it into a digital signal and outputs it to the control processing unit 6. The control processing unit 6 receives the human detection signal and outputs a control signal to read management data for selecting sound data by date and time from the sound / management data recording unit 15 and fetch date and time information from the date and time generation unit 16. Read the corresponding sound data from the sound / management data.

The read sound data is converted into a sound signal or the like by the sound generation unit 3, and the sound signal is amplified by the sound amplifier 4 and output as a sound from the speaker 5.
When a sensor signal is input by the external sensor 18, it is input to the control processing unit 6 through the external sensor I / F unit 17, and a sound is output in the same manner as when the human sensor 8 detects a person. When outputting an emergency voice message or alarm sound using the external sensor 18, create a priority by adding a specific sound message for a specific sensor input to management data programmed in advance on a personal computer, etc. And register. The priority is set in consideration of the case where a plurality of sensors react at the same time.

  Since it is configured as described above, for example, by using two sets of human detection sensors 8 and determining the direction of movement of a person, that is, entering / exiting, two types of pre-registered voice messages (for example, “Welcome”). And “Thank you very much”). For emergency situations, a dedicated sensor signal with the highest priority is input via a push button switch, and it is guided by a pre-registered emergency situation such as a voice message (“Exit is here” etc.) An alarm sound can be issued.

  Thanks to the clock mechanism, if you register a message to be selected and uttered from multiple messages depending on the time and date when people were sensed, thank you for your visit to the store when you open the store, I am waiting for you to come to the store. ”On the regular holiday of the store, it is possible to utter a message different from“ Today is a regular holiday ”. Even in the case of the first embodiment, the same effect can be obtained by incorporating a timepiece mechanism.

  The dummy camera for surveillance according to the present invention can be used in combination with a real surveillance camera such as a store such as a supermarket or various factories.

It is an electric circuit block diagram of the dummy camera for surveillance concerning the present invention. It is an external view of an example of the monitoring dummy camera. It is an external view of the other example of the monitoring dummy camera. It is the external view of the other example of the dummy camera for monitoring similarly.
