According to the disclosed technique, a digital camera capable of changing the direction of the lens is installed, a levitation robot capable of levitation, a levitation control device for remotely controlling the levitation of the photographing robot, and a lens control for adjusting the direction and zoom of the camera lens And a remote controller provided with a viewfinder of the apparatus and the camera and a shutter button of the camera.

Korean Patent No. 10-1638500 (2016.07.05.) Establishes a system that can guarantee the safety of women, workers, and the elderly as much as possible to protect the people from crimes and disasters, A black box, etc., and describes a monitoring system and a method using a drone capable of performing a continuous duty for the safety of the public by assisting the work such as disaster monitoring of a public institution, forest fire monitoring, and the like. According to the disclosed technology, a dron unit configured to acquire image information and peripheral information while performing autonomous movement corresponding to a predetermined object or a preset region, and configured to detect a crisis situation based on the obtained information, And a control center configured to receive the image information from the drone unit, wherein the drone unit comprises at least one sensor for obtaining the image information and the peripheral information, Compares the sensed value with a preset reference value and determines that the sensed value corresponds to a crisis situation when the sensed value exceeds the preset reference value and transmits the crisis information to the control center, The remaining energy of the drones is detected, It calculates the amount of energy it takes to return and at the energy level wherein the further configured to invoke the threshold value or less in the auxiliary unit drone energy amount limiting value is preset required for the return.

The conventional surveillance system as described above can employ a private security guard or a mechanical security system such as an alarm or a surveillance camera. However, when a private security guard patrols directly, it requires a manpower, In the case of the crime prevention system, there is a disadvantage in that it is impossible to efficiently cope with a moving object or an emergency in a wide area because it is installed in a fixed place.

The conventional surveillance system as described above is a photographing control system using mostly unmanned flying cameras. In order to obtain the distance and the angle with respect to the subject required for the photographing by the user, the user must directly use the user device such as a remote controller, To control the motion of the subject.
