  The operation of the apartment house intercom system configured as described above is as follows. However, in response to a call operation from the collective entrance 1 or the dwelling unit 6 and a response operation and a call operation from the living room main unit 2, the captured images of the cameras 12 and 62 are displayed on the display unit of the living room main unit 2. Since the operation displayed on the screen 22 is the same as the conventional one, a description thereof will be omitted. Here, the description will be focused on the storage of the captured video of the camera 12 and the notification operation of the new arrival lamp 26.

First, normal control for storing the captured images of the cameras 12 and 62 is as follows. When there is a visitor and the collective entrance machine 1 is operated and a call is made, an image captured by the camera 12 is transmitted to the room master 2 and displayed on the display unit 22. At the same time, recording for a predetermined time is performed under the control of the master CPU 29 and stored in an unread folder in the storage unit 27. However, if the call button 21 is operated in the middle or after the end of recording and responds, the storage destination moves to the read folder. Then, when the calling operation is completed in the state stored in the unread folder, the new arrival lamp 26 blinks.
Thereafter, when a predetermined confirmation operation for confirming unread information is performed by the resident in response to blinking of the new arrival lamp 26, the stored video is displayed on the display unit 22, and the storage location is changed from the unread folder to the read folder. The new lamp 26 is turned off.
The new arrival lamp 26 continues to blink if even one video remains in the unread folder.

  This video storage control is the same when the dwelling unit 6 is operated. If no response is made to the call, the captured video is stored in the unread folder of the storage unit 27, and the new arrival lamp 26 blinks. To do. When this video display operation (confirmation operation) is performed, the new arrival lamp 26 is turned off.

In the collective intercom system that operates in this way, when the call operation of the collective entrance device 1 and the call operation of the dwelling unit entrance device 6 are continuously performed within a predetermined time, the operation is as follows.
First, when a visitor calls the resident by operating the collective entrance 1, the call is notified in the callee's room master 2, and an image captured by the camera 12 of the collective entrance 1 is displayed on the display unit 22. At the same time, recording of the captured video for a certain time is started (saving to the unread folder is started). Thereafter, when the resident responds to the call, the stored video is moved from the unread folder to the read folder and stored, and there is no notification operation such as blinking of the new arrival lamp 26. The operation so far is as described above.
However, at the time when the call is received, the master CPU 29 starts counting for a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes).

After that, when the unlocking button 25 is operated by the resident and the electric lock of the entrance door 5 is unlocked, the visitor enters the living space and proceeds to the visited dwelling unit, and the visited dwelling unit entrance unit 6 is called.
In this way, the calling notification is made in the room master unit 2, and this time, the captured image of the camera 62 of the dwelling unit entrance unit 6 is displayed on the display unit 22. In addition, recording of the captured image for a certain time is started and stored in the storage unit 27. However, at this time, the master CPU 29 determines whether a predetermined time (5 minutes) has elapsed, and if not, determines that a response operation has been performed, stores the captured image in the read folder, and stores the new arrival lamp 26. Does not blink. On the other hand, if the predetermined time has already passed, it is stored in the unread folder and the new arrival lamp 26 is blinked.

As described above, when there is a call from the dwelling unit entrance unit 6 shortly after the call from the collective entrance unit 1, the new arrival lamp 26 flashes without responding to the call from the dwelling unit entrance unit 6. And notification does not work. Therefore, the troublesomeness felt by the resident can be reduced.
In addition, since the image captured by the camera 62 of the dwelling unit entrance 6 is continuously stored, the image remains even if called from a person different from the intended person, and the security function does not deteriorate.

  Even if the image captured by the camera 62 of the dwelling unit 6 is stored in the read folder, if the stored image exists in the unread folder before that, the new arrival lamp 26 continues to blink without being turned off. Is done.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the above embodiment, the unlocking operation is performed after answering the call. However, the resident who has seen the visitor video displayed on the display unit 22 after receiving the call is a person who has been or was scheduled to visit the family. Then, since there is a case of unlocking without responding, the master CPU 29 may be controlled to operate in the following manner to cope with such a case.
The unlocking operation after receiving the call is regarded as a substantial response operation even if the response operation is not performed, the captured image of the camera 12 is stored in the read folder, and the new arrival lamp 26 is not blinked.
Similarly to the above-described embodiment, if the dwelling unit entrance unit 6 is operated within a predetermined time after receiving the call from the collective entrance unit 1, the image captured by the camera 62 of the dwelling unit entrance unit 6 is saved in the read folder. The new arrival lamp 29 is not blinked.

  As described above, even when the unlock button 25 is operated without performing a response operation to the call made from the collective entrance machine 1, if the dwelling unit entrance handset 6 is operated for a call shortly thereafter, the collective entrance machine 1 and In any call of the dwelling unit 6, it is determined that a response operation has been performed, and the stored images of the captured images of both the cameras 12 and 62 are processed as already read, and the new arrival lamp 26 does not notify. Therefore, the troublesomeness felt by the resident can be reduced.

  In the above embodiment, the counting of the predetermined time is started when the call is received. However, the counting of the predetermined time may be started by the unlocking operation of the door 5 of the entrance.
