Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a security device, and more specifically, when an abnormal situation occurs in an out-of-home location or the like, a predetermined telephone number is dialed, and a photograph is taken of the indoor situation when the abnormal situation occurs. And a security device that enables the user to do so.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Due to the recent increase in picking and the like, the number of homes equipped with security devices for crime prevention at home away from home is increasing.

[0003] Here, the security device will be described. Generally, the security device includes at least a sensor means such as an infrared sensor, an auto dial means for dialing into a preset telephone or the like, a microphone, and A speaker is provided, and the setting monitors when going out, so that the sensor monitors the room or the like. Then, if there is an intruder, it senses the intruder, dials a telephone set such as a mobile telephone set in advance by the auto dial means, and further issues an alarm through a speaker.

[0004] Then, a person who is out can know the abnormal situation in the absence house by this call, can hear the situation in the room or the like via the microphone, and further emits an alarm. As a result, intruders can be intimidated by warning.

[0005] As described above, by using this security device, even when an abnormal situation occurs in an out-of-home home when going out, it is possible to easily know the situation and to confirm the indoor situation by sound. To be able to do so, more and more homes are equipped with security devices for crime prevention as mentioned above.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, with the above-mentioned conventional security device, it is impossible to confirm the cause of the sensor operation because the indoor condition can be known only by sound. For example, in general, in a security device, the sensor may be activated by small animals or birds kept indoors or by falling of small items installed indoors for some reason. With conventional security devices, these causes could not be known, and the only way to go home was to check the indoor conditions and imagine why the sensor sensed an abnormality.

[0007] In this regard, there is a method that includes a CCD camera or the like and a monitor connected to the camera so that the situation inside a room or the like can be confirmed by wire. For example, this method is adopted in financial institutions, convenience stores, supermarkets, and the like. However, this method is not suitable for ordinary households because the equipment must be complicated because of the wired connection and the installation cost is high.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a low-cost system that, when an abnormal situation occurs in an abandoned house or the like, makes it possible to know that the abnormal situation has occurred and to easily understand the contents of the abnormal situation. It is an object to provide a security device.

[0009]
