Description

CCTV management system < RTI ID = 0.0 >

The present invention relates to a CCTV management system, and more particularly, to a CCTV management system that integrally manages and monitors CCTV images installed in various destinations and places, ≪ / RTI >

The CCTV camera is a device for capturing images by capturing the surveillance area. Since the CCTV camera detects the emergency situation in real time through the acquired image or the image obtained after the accident is used as evidence for tracking the cause of the accident, Are widely used for various purposes and places. In particular, the demand for CCTV cameras has rapidly increased due to the rapid increase in cases where various emergency situations, incidents, traffic accidents and crimes are solved through the images acquired by CCTV cameras.

However, in the past, since a single CCTV camera or a plurality of CCTV cameras are distributedly installed and managed only by a specific manager, CCTV images can not be integratedly and organically managed, resulting in a delay in recognizing and responding to emergency situations do. For example, in case of an accident at a specific place, in order to track an accidental perpetrator, images of the entire surrounding areas are required based on a specific place. However, since CCTV cameras are distributed and operated separately, There is an excessively large number of administrators, and accordingly, it takes a lot of time to collect the images, which makes it impossible to promptly respond to emergency situations and accidents.

Also, CCTV images that are not useful in the past are stored only for a predetermined period (about 30 days), and thus have a limitation in that they can not utilize CCTV images exceeding the period.

In addition, in the past, when a professional repairer regularly checks a CCTV camera and if a trouble such as malfunction or malfunction of the CCTV camera occurs, the specialist must go directly to the relevant place and repair the trouble individually. Time and cost are consumed.

1) It is possible to manage and monitor the images acquired by CCTV cameras installed in various places regardless of the purpose and place. 2) And 3) CCTV management system that can repair and repair itself in case of a failure is urgently needed.

In order to solve such a problem, in the Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2007-0080965 (Ubiquitous Urban Integrated Control System), the prior art collectively collects various kinds of information in the ubiquitous city, A control system including an information collection and management unit for converting the data format into a data format and providing the converted data format.

However, the control system has disadvantages in that it can not expect the above-mentioned purposes 2) and 3) since it does not describe a method of judging whether or not a fault occurs, and when a fault occurs, the fault handler must directly visit and deal with the fault.

The router 53 includes a communication interface module to support data communication with the control center server 7 and the PCs 31.

Also, the router 53 includes a reset unit (not shown) for turning on / off the power of the router 53 itself. When it is determined by the failure determination unit 58 that a failure has occurred in the router 53, And the power is turned on / off.

The fan-heater drive determination unit 54 compares the temperature value received from the PC 31 with a preset maximum temperature value and a minimum temperature value. If the temperature value is equal to or greater than the maximum temperature value, the fan- It is determined to drive the heater 38 of the PC 31 if the temperature value is less than the minimum temperature value.

The control signal (fan-heater) generated by the fan-heater driving determination unit 54 is input to the control unit 51 and is transmitted to the PC 31 through the router 53 under the control of the control unit 51 do.

The power checking unit 55 measures the input voltage of each of the N-channel power supply lines supplied by the power supply unit 55, and compares the measured voltage value with a value outside the limit range.

Also, the power checking unit 55 determines that an error has occurred in the power supply line when the measured voltage value is out of the limit range, and inputs the determination data to the power supply unit 55. [

The power supply unit 55 turns on / off the corresponding power supply line according to the judgment data inputted from the power checking unit 55, so that the multifunctional controller 5 can prevent malfunction and failure due to the error of the input voltage .

The power supply unit 55 resets the router 53 when receiving the judgment data indicating that the failure cause is the router 53 from the failure reason determination unit 58. If the failure source is the judgment data of the PC 31, The power of the PC 31 is reset so that the failure can be immediately recovered.

The PC monitoring unit 56 periodically determines the operation state of the PC 31 according to whether or not the predetermined data signal is received from each of the PCs 31. [

That is, the PC monitoring unit 56 determines that the operation state of the PC 31, which has not transmitted the data signal, is abnormal, inputs the determination data to the failure cause determination unit 58, The cause of not receiving the signal is detected.

The failure cause determination unit 58 detects the cause of the failure of the PC 31 to transmit the data signal when the abnormal determination data of the specific PC 31 is input from the PC monitoring unit 56. [

The failure cause determination unit 58 transmits the ping data to the communication addresses of the preset target servers stored in the database unit 52 through the router 53. If the response data is received from all of the target servers, If the response data is not received from all of the target servers, the router 53 determines the cause of the failure.

At this time, the power supply unit 55 resets the router 53 when receiving the judgment data that the failure cause is the router 53 from the failure cause determination unit 58, The power of the PC 31 is reset so that the failure can be immediately recovered.
