Description

  The present invention relates to a remote monitoring apparatus capable of two-way communication, and in particular, a remote monitoring apparatus that can provide electric power for a long period of time, can be easily installed, and is not easily mischievous even outdoors where commercial power is not available. About.

  Remote monitoring apparatuses have come to be used in various fields and places with the spread and expansion of the Internet and mobile communication networks. Patent Document 1 below relates to a robot using a mobile phone, for example, a monitoring robot that moves and monitors in a home, office, etc., and notifies a predetermined person or a predetermined institution when there is an abnormality. Technology is disclosed. This patent document 1 discloses a technology that can create a monitoring robot at low cost by using a mobile phone having a computer function.

  Non-Patent Document 1 below relates to a monitoring device that integrates a sensing function and communication technology for monitoring and monitoring the environment of a field (farm) and the state of agricultural plants, and measures the farm environment. A technology relating to a remote monitoring device (field server) that enables visualization of cultivation based on data by recording an image together with the image is disclosed.

  The remote monitoring device of Non-Patent Document 2 below includes alarm and analog data input / control output contacts in addition to image data, and a FOMA network or a wireless LAN can be used for data transfer. This non-patent document 2 uses a solar cell panel for the power supply part, which eliminates the need for laying a communication cable and a power cable, and also makes it compact and lightweight, so that it can be installed in high places or places where it has not been possible to install in the past. The technology which can be installed easily, can be easily moved by attaching to a tripod or the like, and can be easily installed and used is disclosed.

However, all of these remote monitoring devices have a problem that they can supply power independently over a long period of time and cannot be secured for 24 hours. For example, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 below cannot be operated unless a commercial power source can be secured. In addition, a commercial power source is indispensable for the technology disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1 below. The following Non-Patent Document 2 uses a solar panel, so when it can receive sunlight, it can be self-supplied, but the amount of power generation changes according to the weather, and it cannot be generated at night, so it operates continuously for 24 hours. It is not possible.

Furthermore, in order to operate stably over a long period of time, it is indispensable to take measures to protect against external mischief, obstruction and destruction. However, for example, the technology disclosed in Non-Patent Document 2 simply attaches a solar cell panel to a support, and also attaches a box containing a surveillance camera or a box containing equipment for controlling them. Therefore, for example, there is a problem that a malicious person can easily destroy the surveillance camera and the solar battery panel.

Moreover, in order to prevent such an action, it becomes a deterrent to specify the performer, but it does not have such a function. Furthermore, for example, the monitoring of agricultural products as in Non-Patent Document 1 has seasonality, and it is not necessary to perform the same monitoring throughout the year. Although it can be reduced, it does not have such means and functions.

In this embodiment, the power generation device is the solar cell panel 107, but renewable energy such as a wind power generation device may be used instead of the solar cell panel.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart for detecting the intrusion of a suspicious object according to the present invention. A basic image (A image) is captured by the surveillance camera (S1), and a comparative image (B image) to be compared with the image is captured (S2). The A image and the B image are compared (S3). If the images match, there is no suspicious object intrusion, and the process returns to step 1 (S1).

  If the images do not match, it is determined that a suspicious object has entered (S4), the smartphone transmits (S5), and transmits the B image (S6). Next, the smartphone receives a command from the remote location that received the B image (S7), sends the command to the central control unit, and the central control unit performs an instruction operation based on the command (S8). Then, it is determined whether or not the instruction operation has been performed (S9). If not, the operation returns to the instruction operation (S8), and if it has been performed, it is determined whether or not to continue monitoring (S10). If the monitoring is to be continued, the C image is captured (S11), and then it is determined whether or not a new instruction is issued (S12). If not, the process returns to step 1. When ending the monitoring, the monitoring function is stopped (END).
