A control unit 35 controls the monitor 32 and the security unit 34, is connected to the telephone exchange 21, and transmits and receives security signals to and from the management unit 2.

Next, the operation of the apartment security system according to the present invention will be explained. Sensors for fire, gas leaks, intrusion, etc. are installed in common areas of apartment complexes and at required locations in each residence. Now, when an abnormality occurs in the residence and the sensor 33 detects the abnormality and outputs a detection signal, the security unit 34 identifies the type of abnormality, the location, etc., and issues an alarm.
At the same time, it outputs a security signal consisting of data such as the type of abnormality and house number based on preset criteria and sends it to the management unit device 2. The security signal may be sent by the resident's operation, or may be sent automatically when an abnormality occurs. Furthermore, when you are away from home, you can set a predetermined absence setting, and when an emergency such as a fire occurs, the management unit automatically sends the message to the management unit via the control unit 35, which has the function of a small exchange. It is sent to device 2.

The security signal is input to the security control unit 24 via the telephone exchange device 21 and subjected to signal processing. The security control unit 24 includes a security display unit 23,
It controls the camera control section 12 and the image creation section 22, and also sends a security signal to each residence device 3 via the telephone exchange device 21. First, the security display section 23 is made up of a display panel, etc., and displays lamps, etc., so that the type of abnormality can be easily identified, corresponding to all house numbers and predetermined locations in the common area, and alarms with buzzers, etc. to notify the occurrence of an abnormality. Additionally, the display panel is equipped with a switch for canceling the buzzer sound, a speaker, a microphone, etc., so that calls can be made preferentially to the residence where the abnormality has occurred. Next, if necessary, a control signal is output based on the data of the security signal by a predetermined operation or according to a preset program. The camera control unit 12, which receives the control signal from the security control unit 24, activates and controls the television cameras 11 installed at various places in common areas such as entrances, passageways, and evacuation routes, and sequentially switches video signals to produce images. It is output to the creation section 22. The selection and switching of the television camera 11 is preset in accordance with the data of the security signal, and can also be manually specified and selected. On the other hand, the sensor 1 is in the common area 1.
3 is arranged in pair with the television camera 11 to detect heat, smoke, gas leakage, etc., and the detection output is sent to the security unit 14.
is processed by the security control unit 2 along with data such as location etc.
4 to the image creation section 22.

The video signal input to the image creation section 22 and the data based on the sensor 13 are processed using the image creation function of a personal computer or the like and output as a security image signal. The image creation section 22 temporarily stores the video signals switched and inputted from the camera control section 12 in a required number of frame memories, and displays the location, temperature, smoke, etc. on the screen while reading image data from the frame memories according to a preset program. A security image signal is created by inserting data and explanations, or by processing and editing into multiple screens (for example, 4 to 16 screens). A plurality of types of security image signals may be set, for example, multi-screen and three other screens. Also, at this time, an audio signal consisting of voice synthesis or the voice of the administrator etc. may be added to each channel.
Audio information can also be provided to each residence. The security screen is updated each time the camera is switched once or manually. The security image signal created in this way is appropriately converted into a high frequency signal such as an empty channel of television broadcasting, for example, UHF 30, 32, etc. channel in the RF modulation section 25, and then mixed with the signal of the television etc. on the coview line 26. The mixed signals are mixed in section 27 and distributed to each residence via coaxial cable. At the same time, the security control unit 24 sends a security signal to the control unit 35 of the predetermined residence via the telephone exchange device 21.

[0011] In large-scale housing complexes, each residence is divided into multiple groups, for example, each floor or groups on the east and west sides, in response to differences in disaster prevention such as selection of evacuation routes and entrances. It can be configured so that the security images and security signals that are most suitable for each are distributed and sent out. In such cases, it becomes possible to provide information that is in line with reality.

Next, the security unit 34, which receives the security signal via the control section 35, processes the signal, identifies the type of abnormality, etc., and issues an alarm/display. The display panel distinguishes between inside the house and other parts of the house, and displays lamps for each type of abnormality, as well as alerts with a buzzer or the like. Additionally, the display panel is equipped with a switch for canceling the buzzer sound, a speaker, a microphone, etc., making it easy to use and understand. If an abnormality occurs in the home, a call to the security display unit 23 of the management unit device 2 is secured preferentially. Branch adapter 31 for monitor 32
is connected and activated by a control signal from the control unit 35 to display a security image.

When an abnormality occurs in the common area 1, the sensor 13 detects the abnormality, and the security unit 14 outputs a security signal consisting of data such as the type, degree, location, etc. of the abnormality, and the security signal is transmitted via the telephone exchange device 21. The information is input to the control unit 24 and processed in the same manner as in the residential unit 3.

Although the security system for an apartment complex based on sensor abnormality detection has been illustrated and described above, it can also be used as a function for confirming visitors and inviting them into the residence, or as a notice board in an apartment complex. When dealing with a visitor, when the visitor enters the residence number of the place to be visited using a keypad or the like and informs the visitor of the visit, the signal is processed, a dial signal is added, and the signal is input to the security control unit 24 via the telephone exchange device 21. be done. The television camera 11 at the entrance is operated by the security control unit 24 to image the visitor, and the video signal is distributed to the residence via the image creation unit 22 and the mixing unit 27. On the other hand, the security control unit 24 outputs a security signal to notify the visitor's visit on the display panel of the security unit 34 via the telephone exchange 21 and the control unit 35 of the residence to be visited, and displays the visitor on the monitor 32. All you have to do is connect the doorbell at the front door to the telephone line to your residence.

[0015]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, in the housing complex security system according to the present invention, when a disaster occurs in a common area or a residential area, an alarm is generated by sound or flashing lamps, and image information by a television camera is sent, for example. Since images of the vicinity of the disaster site and security images showing the situation of evacuation routes are broadcast to all residents, unnecessary confusion can be avoided and disasters can be minimized. Furthermore, since the system uses co-viewing lines and telephone lines, it can be easily introduced into existing apartment complexes and construction work can be done easily.
