Description

Prefabricated Security Device {AN ASSEMBLING SECURITY DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a prefabricated security device for activating a personal security system, and more particularly, to separate the main module, the camera module and the sensor module, and to the device of the various specifications of the modules according to the security system configuration desired by the user It is a prefabricated security device that can be selected and built with modules of the specification to apply and is easy to change and manage the system.

With the development of various electronic devices, there is a growing demand for security systems to prevent outsider intrusion and to detect unusual situations such as fire to protect property or information.

The security system that is currently being constructed, along with the recent development of the network infrastructure, integrates electronic devices such as cameras, sensors, and digital video recorders (DVRs) related to security into a network so that security targets can be managed remotely. It not only greatly improves the difficulty of building a security system through individual electronic device settings, but also provides the user with ease of management and efficiency.

Therefore, various security equipment, security companies, and security services for supporting the construction of a security system through the network are continuously developing.

Looking at the existing security system configuration described above with reference to Figure 1, the security system is based on the camera 10 and the various sensors 20, based on the detection signal generated by the sensor 20 through the camera 10 It includes a DVR (30) for recording the video signal for the external intrusion or unusual situation, etc., the camera 10, the sensor 20 and the DVR 30 is installed in the management destination to perform continuous monitoring.

In this case, in order to remotely manage the DVR 30 or to manage a plurality of management targets, a personal identifier or IP is assigned to each DVR 30 installed at each management target to manage the DVR 30 through a wired or wireless network. It may include a central management center (40).

The central management center 40 can easily control a plurality of cameras installed in a management target site from a remote location through the DVR 30, and the DVR 30 controls the plurality of cameras 10 and the sensors 20. It may include can be transmitted to the central management center 40, the video signal collected from the plurality of cameras (10).

Therefore, the central management center 40 centrally manages the video signals of the massive traffic transmitted from the DVR 30 installed in the large-scale management site, and easily classifies the video signals of the management site where the unusual situation occurs. Can be provided.

However, these security systems are mostly developed for large-scale management sites or security management of large corporations. Therefore, the provision of high-priced equipment necessary for the construction of the security system to individuals as well as small and medium-sized operators is a significant burden. It is rarely done.

In addition, even if the security system is deployed at an individual or small and medium sized enterprise, the device settings and infrastructure included in the security system cannot be easily implemented by the public, and there is a need to manually control the security system after installation. In this case, due to the complexity of the interface, it is difficult to easily adapt to the operation of the security system, and in case of a malfunction or a need for improvement of the system, a problem of later management of the security system occurs, such as having to be diagnosed and upgraded by the corresponding security specialist. In addition, the additional cost problem is considerable.

In order to improve this, a personalized security device has been introduced, and the personal security device will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2. The personal security device is an improvement in the configuration of a webcam having an existing camera. The main module 40 is provided with an internal main processor and has an IP or identifier set therein and is configured through wireless communication means 70 such as RF, Zigbee, Bluetooth, WLAN, Wibro, or wired communication means such as PLC (power line communication) or PSTN. It is able to communicate with the can transmit the video signal received from the personal security device to a remote location. Through this, it is possible to support the individual can easily remote monitoring with a simple network configuration.

Recently, products that enhance the performance of the personal security device by applying a part of the technology of the security system of a professional company to the personal security device has appeared, for example, a human body sensor around the camera 50 ( 60) can be added so that the video signal of the camera 50 can be obtained only for the detection of a specific target, the night monitoring function through the IR (51) and internally equipped with a flash memory card for local storage, etc. The function of is added.

This enhanced personal security device allows an individual or a general operator to easily configure a security system for a home or business location and a specific place that requires monitoring. However, the personal security device provides the added functions. Since it is integrated in the main module of the configuration in a small case, as the functions are added, the amount of heat generated simultaneously in a plurality of hardware is significant, which may cause product damage and malfunction. For example, since the human body sensor is particularly weak in heat generation, malfunctions and failures may easily occur to obtain an unwanted image or may not respond even when a monitoring target exists, thereby deteriorating reliability of the security device.

In addition, the personal security device is designed so that the specifications of the sensor and the camera to be used are fixed, it is difficult to respond to the need for replacement or performance improvement for the sensor or image. In other words, it is difficult to cope with various environments, and if a specific function is required, the entire design has to be redone, and it is difficult to recycle the replaced existing product.

For example, even if the user determines that the sensor needs to improve the sensing sensitivity or the pixel of the camera, the corresponding sensor or camera cannot be applied to the main module, and the entire security device needs to be replaced. Done. That is, there is a problem that the specification can not be easily changed with such a personal security device.

In addition, since the main module is configured by designating the hardware to be used as described above, the various types of hardware mounted on the main board are bound to the main module manufacturer and operate the personal security device. The operator who wishes to configure the system configuration in accordance with the intention of the manufacturer of the main board is acting as a factor that hinders the autonomy of the operator who actually configures the optimized security system. In addition, due to the abnormal dependency between the operator and the manufacturer, when the discontinuation of some hardware, the operator has a problem that the replacement product is not interlocked to maintain the incomplete security system.

Therefore, it is possible to easily set and manage various information and private property at the present time that requires protection and security, and it is necessary to develop a security system that provides convenience for future management.

The present invention can prevent malfunctions and failures due to heat by maintaining the various functions of the existing personal security device constituting the personal security system intact, so that the hardware configuration for each function is not integrated in one main module The purpose is to provide a security device.

In addition, the present invention independent of the main module hardware, such as cameras and sensors that were produced specifically for the main module of the security device, the operator can easily and easily add a variety of existing general-purpose sensors or camera modules to configure the security device Its purpose is to provide a security device that can reduce costs and provide ease of management.
