Description

  The present invention relates to a security light pole and an emergency notification system, and more particularly to a security light pole and an emergency notification system equipped with a flame detector.

  In recent years, street crimes caused by snatching, molesting, stalking, street demons, etc. have increased, and the resulting deterioration in security has become a problem. While the number of criminal law offenses has increased, under the circumstance that the clearance rate has declined, the creation of a city where local residents can live with peace of mind is an issue, and countermeasures for crime prevention are urgently needed .

  One of the crime prevention measures is the patrol of police officers and the installation of police boxes. The number of police officers has been increased, the police box function has been strengthened, and the efficient operation of personnel has been promoted. However, the number of police officers is still not enough. Furthermore, there is a problem that the increase in the number of police officers and the addition of police boxes is expensive.

  Therefore, as a new crime prevention measure, for example, as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, when an emergency occurs, a crime prevention light pole equipped with a monitoring function and an alarm function installed on the street is remotely located from the crime prevention light pole. An emergency call system has been proposed that can report to a monitoring center in the city.

Japanese Patent No. 3987514 JP 2002-288774 A

  On the other hand, arson is one of the increasing street crimes. Technology to use various fire detectors has been proposed as a response to fire, but if only a fire detector is provided, an alarm is activated due to the false alarm, and a report to the fire department occurs . In addition, when a security guard or the like goes to a place where a fire is detected by a fire detector and checks whether it is a false alarm, it takes time to check and there is a problem that the fire becomes large. In addition, there is a risk that guards will be left behind at the site of the fire.

  When a security light pole equipped with a surveillance camera as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 is installed in an environment where a building or the like is complicated, for example, the detection means is limited to the surveillance camera. . Therefore, there is a problem that a blind spot of the surveillance camera is generated and a range in which a fire can be detected is limited. In addition, it is desirable to deal with a fire at an initial stage, that is, a stage where the flame is small. Furthermore, when the surveillance camera is damaged, there is a problem that the emergency call system becomes inoperative because the means for detecting fire is lost.

  Moreover, since the emergency call system disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 is a system that makes a call with the monitoring center only at the time of reporting from the crime prevention light pole, if there is no interpersonal crime such as arson, there is a reporter around There is also a problem that there is a low possibility that the crime will not be prevented by warning and warning from the monitoring center. In addition, if the whistleblower notices the danger for other street crimes other than arson and then reports the warning, warning and police to the police, the crime prevention effect will be prevented. There is also a problem that it is low.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a crime prevention light pole and an emergency call system that reliably detect a fire caused by an arson or the like in a crime prevention light pole and an emergency call system. Another object of the present invention is to provide a crime prevention light pole and an emergency call system that are particularly effective for preventing fire from being emitted in the crime prevention light pole and the emergency call system.

  According to the security light pole according to the present invention, the security light pole is installed on the road and in public facilities, and transmits and receives signals including images and sounds to a monitoring center connected by a network.

The light, the warning buzzer, the fire detector, the notification button, the image processing unit, the sound processing unit, and the transmission / reception unit are connected, and the transmission / reception unit is connected via the network. It is solved by being connected to the monitoring center.

  In this way, the security light pole is provided with two types of fire detection means (or fire confirmation means) by including a surveillance camera used as fire detection means or fire confirmation means and a fire detector as fire detection means. Therefore, it is possible to provide a security light pole with high detection performance against fire. In addition, by providing two types of fire detection means, even if it is a false alarm by one detection means, or even if one fire detection means is damaged, it is possible to confirm a fire with the other detection means. Therefore, it is possible to detect a fire with high accuracy. Therefore, it is possible to reduce work such as a security guard or the like going to a place where a fire report is made by a security light pole and performing a confirmation work. Furthermore, the risk of getting involved in a fire can be reduced by going to the place where the fire occurs for confirmation.

  Furthermore, since the surveillance camera and the reporting device are provided, the situation around the installation location can be confirmed with a video at all times, and even if a report is made via the security light pole, the surveillance camera and the pinhole camera Thus, it is possible to quickly confirm the state of the reporter. And since it is the structure provided with a warning sound buzzer and a warning light, the warning sound buzzer and the warning light sound, so that a suspicious person can be threatened and a high crime prevention effect can be obtained.

  At this time, as in claim 2, the fire detector is a fire detector provided with at least one detection means of smoke detection type, temperature detection type, and infrared detection type, wherein the surveillance camera Is preferably provided with a luminance measuring device for measuring the luminance of light.

When a suspicious person is confirmed in the image of the monitoring camera, the operator of the monitoring center can give a warning by voice, and an effect of preventing road crimes can be obtained. Further, since a warning buzzer and a warning light can be sounded by remote operation from the monitoring center, it is possible to call attention to passersby around the road before a road crime occurs.

  In particular, fires caused by arson are not human crimes, and there are often no passers-by around them. Therefore, in an emergency call system in which image and sound are transmitted and received between the monitoring center and the crime prevention light pole only by notification, if there is no reporter, the crime prevention property against road crime such as arson is not high. However, as in the sixth aspect of the present invention, when the warning from the monitoring center can be always performed, the effect of preventing the occurrence of road crimes including arson can be enhanced.

According to the crime prevention light pole of Claim 1 of this invention, the crime prevention light pole provided with high crime prevention property can be provided with respect to the road crime including arson. In particular, by providing a fire detector and a monitoring camera, a plurality of fire detection means (or fire occurrence confirmation means) are provided, so that fire detection can be performed accurately and reliably.

  In step S104, the image / sound reaches the worker of the monitoring center 2, and in the next step S105, the worker of the monitoring center 2 determines whether the image by the monitoring camera 14 is a desired image when determining the on-site situation. Judgment processing is performed. More specifically, the determination process in step S105 is a comparison determination as to whether the sample frame matches a preset sample frame. Here, the sample frame is a reference image obtained by photographing the surroundings of the installation position in advance at the time of installation. Note that a plurality of reference images within the imaging range of the monitoring camera 14 are stored in a frame memory or the like, and based on the reference image, the images of the monitoring camera 14 are overlapped to be compared.

  If it is determined in step S105 that the position of the monitoring camera 14 is not appropriate (step S105: NO), the operator of the monitoring center 2 adjusts the position of the monitoring camera 14 in step S106. This adjustment is performed by the operator remotely operating the controller 6 provided in the monitoring center 2. Specifically, this step S106 determines whether or not to detect the control signal of the monitoring camera 14. When the control signal of the monitoring camera 14 is detected (step S106: YES), the monitoring camera is determined in step S107. 14 position is adjusted. Then, the process returns to step S105.

  Thereby, adjustment is performed until the position of the monitoring camera 14 becomes appropriate. When the control signal of the monitoring camera 14 is not detected (that is, when the operator does not operate the monitoring camera 14: step S106: NO), the process waits until it is detected. If it is determined in step S105 that the position of the monitoring camera 14 is appropriate (step S105: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S108.

  In step S108, the operator of the monitoring center 2 has a conversation with the reporter, and the status of the site is confirmed from the images of the monitoring camera 14 and the pinhole camera 16. Specifically, the process of step S108 is performed between the notifying person and the monitoring center between the reporting microphone 19 and the reporting speaker 20 provided in the security light pole 1 and the interphone 7 provided in the monitoring center 2. This is done by transmitting and receiving the voice of the second operator.

  Thereby, the warning of a suspicious person is performed by the worker of the monitoring center 2. In addition, processing such as reporting to the police is performed by a not-illustrated reporting unit or contact unit. Thereafter, in step S109, the operator of the monitoring center 2 confirms whether or not the safety of the reporter is ensured based on the image or the sound, and determines whether or not the process is finished. Specifically, the determination process in step S109 is to determine whether or not the control unit 31 of the security light pole 1 has detected a line disconnection signal. When safety is ensured and the operator determines that the process is completed (step S109: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S110. On the other hand, when the line disconnection signal is not detected (step S109: NO), the process returns to step S108.

  In step S110, the line between the security light pole 1 and the monitoring center 2 is disconnected, and the warning sound buzzer 12 and the warning light 13 are turned off. At this time, the sound transmitted and received between the security light pole 1 and the monitoring center 2 and the photographed image are sound and image information as a sound information database DB 5 and an image information database provided in the monitoring control server 4. Each is stored in DB4.

  In addition, as a countermeasure against a suspicious person or a suspect, the security light pole 1 may be provided with a marking material discharging device (not shown). Examples of the marking material include a color ball containing a sticky pigment, a tear agent, a liquid having an unpleasant odor, and the like, and those having an effect of identifying or repelling a suspect are preferable.

  Next, in the emergency notification system according to the present invention, when the worker of the monitoring center 2 calls the security light pole 1 (before receiving the notification, the worker of the monitoring center 2 The operation when a danger is detected will be described with reference to FIG.

  The operator of the monitoring center 2 can constantly monitor the image of the monitoring camera 14 using the image display unit 5 provided in the monitoring center 2. At this time, if a suspicious person is confirmed near the security light pole 1, the following steps are performed.

  In step S201, the control part 31 with which the crime prevention light pole 1 was equipped determines whether the connection signal was detected. The connection signal is generated when the operator of the monitoring center 2 operates the controller 6. In step S201, it is determined whether or not the connection signal is detected, and the control unit 31 provided in the security light pole 1 is connected. If no signal is detected (step S201: NO), the process waits until it is detected. When a connection signal is detected (for example, when an operator calls the crime prevention light pole 1: step S201: YES), a process for connecting a line with the monitoring center 2 is performed in step S202.

  After step S202, in step S203, image / sound transmission / reception by the pinhole camera 16 is started between the security light pole 1 and the operator of the monitoring center 2, and processing for enabling a call is performed.

  In step S203, the image / sound reaches the worker of the monitoring center 2, and in the next step S204, the worker of the monitoring center 2 determines whether or not the image by the monitoring camera 14 is a desired image when determining the site situation. Judgment processing is performed. More specifically, the determination process in step S204 is performed to determine whether or not the sample frame is suitable for a preset sample frame. Here, the sample frame is a reference image obtained by photographing the surroundings of the installation position in advance at the time of installation. Note that a plurality of reference images within the imaging range of the monitoring camera 14 are stored in a frame memory or the like, and based on the reference image, the images of the monitoring camera 14 are overlapped to be compared. Therefore, even if a suspicious person moves, if it is within the imaging range of the surveillance camera 14, a comparison can be easily made.

  If it is determined in step S204 that the position of the monitoring camera 14 is not appropriate (step S204: NO), the position of the monitoring camera 14 is adjusted by the operator of the monitoring center 2 in step S205. This adjustment is performed by the operator remotely operating the controller 6 provided in the monitoring center 2. More specifically, this step S205 determines whether or not to detect the control signal of the monitoring camera 14. When the control signal of the monitoring camera 14 is detected (step S205: YES), the monitoring camera is determined in step S206. 14 position is adjusted. Then, the process returns to step S204.

  Thereby, adjustment is performed until the position of the monitoring camera 14 becomes appropriate. When the control signal of the monitoring camera 14 is not detected (that is, when the operator does not operate the monitoring camera 14: step S205: NO), the process waits until it is detected. If it is determined in step S204 that the position of the monitoring camera 14 is appropriate (step S204: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S207.

  In step S207, the operator of the monitoring center 2 gives a warning to the suspicious person, and the situation on the site is confirmed from the images of the monitoring camera 14 and the pinhole camera 16. Specifically, the process of step S207 is performed between the suspicious person's surroundings between the notification microphone 19 and the notification speaker 20 provided in the security light pole 1 and the interphone 7 provided in the monitoring center 2. This is performed by transmitting and receiving voice and the voice of the operator of the monitoring center 2. At this time, it is also possible for the operator of the monitoring center 2 to perform a process of operating the warning sound buzzer 12 and the warning light 13 by operating the controller 6 and judging the situation from the situation at the site. It is also possible to perform a process of notifying the police by a not-shown reporting means or a communication means.

  Thereafter, in step S208, the operator of the monitoring center 2 confirms whether or not safety around the security light pole 1 is secured based on an image or sound, and determines whether or not the process is completed. Specifically, the determination process in step S208 is to determine whether or not the control unit 31 of the security light pole 1 has detected a line disconnection signal. When the line disconnection signal is detected (that is, to a suspicious person). If the worker determines that the surrounding safety is ensured by the warning and the processing is completed (step S208: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S209. On the other hand, when the line disconnection signal is not detected (step S208: NO), the process returns to step S207.

  In step S209, a process for disconnecting the line between the security light pole 1 and the monitoring center 2 is performed. At this time, the sound transmitted and received between the security light pole 1 and the monitoring center 2 and the photographed image are sound and image information as a sound information database DB 5 and an image information database provided in the monitoring control server 4. Each is stored in DB4.

  As described above, before receiving the report, the operator of the monitoring center 2 can make a judgment from the image of the monitoring camera 14 and inform the surroundings of the emergency situation. Furthermore, since it is possible to warn a suspicious person before a crime occurs, it is possible to prevent the crime from occurring.

  Next, an operation when a fire is detected by the luminance meter provided in the fire detector 15 or the monitoring camera 14 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S301, the control unit 31 of the security light pole 1 determines whether or not the luminance meter provided in the fire detector 15 or the monitoring camera 14 has detected a fire. If no fire is detected in step S301 (step S301: NO), the process waits until it is detected. When a fire is detected (step S301: YES), processing for connecting a line with the monitoring center 2 is performed in step S302.

  After step S302, in step S303, a fire occurrence signal is transmitted by the control unit 31 provided in the security light pole 1, and it is determined whether the monitoring center 2 has received a fire occurrence signal from the security light pole 1. Processing is performed. In step S303, when the main control unit 41 provided in the monitoring center 2 does not receive the fire occurrence signal (step S303: NO), it waits until it is received. When the main control unit 41 provided in the monitoring center 2 receives the fire occurrence signal (step S303: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S304.

  In step S304, an alarm signal is transmitted from the main control unit 41 provided in the monitoring center 2 to the control unit 31 provided in the security light pole 1, and the control unit 31 provided in the security light pole 1 receives the alarm signal. A process for determining whether or not the process has been performed is performed. In step S304, when the control part 31 with which the crime prevention light pole 1 was equipped does not receive an alarm signal (step S304: NO), it waits until it receives. When the control unit 31 provided in the security light pole 1 receives the warning signal (step S304: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S305.

  In step S305, the warning sound buzzer 12 provided in the security light pole 1 is sounded and the warning light 13 is turned on. After step S305, a process of setting the monitoring camera 14 at a predetermined position is performed in step S306. It should be noted that after step S306 and before step S307, an image / sound of the pinhole camera 16 is transmitted / received between the security light pole 1 and the operator of the monitoring center 2 so that a call can be performed. Good.

  In the next step S307, the operator of the monitoring center 2 determines whether the image by the monitoring camera 14 is a desired image when determining the on-site situation. Specifically, the determination process in step S307 is a comparison determination as to whether or not the sample frame matches a preset sample frame. Here, the sample frame is a reference image obtained by photographing the surroundings of the installation position in advance at the time of installation. Note that a plurality of reference images within the imaging range of the monitoring camera 14 are stored in a frame memory or the like, and based on the reference image, the images of the monitoring camera 14 are overlapped to be compared. Therefore, even if a suspicious person moves, if it is within the imaging range of the surveillance camera 14, a comparison can be easily made. Therefore, when a fire is detected based on the luminance, the fire can be detected by comparison with the reference image, so the accuracy of fire detection is improved.

  If it is determined in step S307 that the position of the monitoring camera 14 is not appropriate (step S307: NO), the operator of the monitoring center 2 adjusts the position of the monitoring camera 14 in step S308. This adjustment is performed by the operator remotely operating the controller 6 provided in the monitoring center 2. More specifically, this step S308 determines whether or not to detect the control signal of the monitoring camera 14, and when the control signal of the monitoring camera 14 is detected (step S308: YES), the monitoring camera is determined in step S309. 14 position is adjusted. Then, the process returns to step S307.

  Thereby, adjustment is performed until the position of the monitoring camera 14 becomes appropriate. When the control signal of the monitoring camera 14 is not detected (that is, when the operator does not operate the monitoring camera 14: step S308: NO), the process waits until it is detected. If it is determined in step S307 that the position of the monitoring camera 14 is appropriate (step S307: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S310.

  In step S310, the operator of the monitoring center 2 confirms the occurrence of a fire based on the images of the monitoring camera 14 and the pinhole camera 16, and confirms the situation at the site. More specifically, the process of step S310 is performed between the security camera 14 and the pinhole camera 16 provided in the security light pole 1 and the image display unit 5 provided in the monitoring center 2 for the security light pole 1. This is done by sending and receiving images around. At this time, it is also possible to perform a process of notifying the police and the fire department by a not-shown reporting means or a communication means.

  Thereafter, in step S311, it is confirmed by the operator of the monitoring center 2 whether or not the safety around the security light pole 1 has been secured based on the image or the sound, and it is determined whether or not the processing is completed. Specifically, the determination process in step S311 is to determine whether or not the control unit 31 of the security light pole 1 has detected a line disconnection signal. When the line disconnection signal is detected (that is, the surrounding safety When the operator determines that the process is completed and transmits a line disconnection signal (step S311: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S312. On the other hand, when the line disconnection signal is not detected (step S311: NO), the process returns to step S310.

  In step S312, processing for disconnecting the line between the security light pole 1 and the monitoring center 2 is performed. At this time, the sound transmitted and received between the security light pole 1 and the monitoring center 2 and the photographed image are sound and image information as a sound information database DB 5 and an image information database provided in the monitoring control server 4. Each is stored in DB4.

  As described above, the crime prevention light pole 1 and the emergency notification system of the present invention include the fire detector 15, so that early detection can be made regarding a fire caused by arson. Therefore, it is possible to provide not only various crime prevention, but also an emergency call system having a very high effect of fire prevention management.

  Further, the function installed in the security light pole 1 can be incorporated into an existing security camera system, and the cost at the time of introduction can be reduced.
