Description

Image storage device including a flashlight {Recorder containing flashlight}

The present invention relates to an image storage device including a flashlight, including a communication module and a shooting mode, etc., and configured to be linked with a smartphone, so that when shooting images such as security patrol, facility management, vehicle management, etc., shooting even at dark night It relates to an image storage device including a flashlight that enables this.

In general, portable flashlights are not only used for leisure activities such as mountain climbing or fishing at night after sunset, or to secure visibility in the dark when a power outage occurs at night in a home or business, but also in an underground parking lot or apartment where there are few people. It is used for crime prevention during patrol within the complex.

Flashlights are essential at night in various industrial sites, but compared to the development and distribution of various driving modules for mobile communication devices, they are still configured to exhibit only a simple function of illuminating light.

Recently, with the construction and distribution of apartment houses, patrol tasks such as crime prevention and parking enforcement in apartment complexes are increasing.

However, in the case of patrol and parking enforcement tasks, security guards directly patrol a certain area to find and crack down on illegally parked vehicles.

Due to the nature of the patrol business as described above, it is necessary to supervise whether the patrol officer directly patrols the patrolling area at the designated time. Therefore, this operation is cumbersome and requires a lot of manpower.

In addition, since the number of the vehicle and the number on the list must be individually controlled by manpower in the case of illegal parking or the crackdown of stolen vehicles, this operation has a limit in increasing the accuracy and efficiency of the operation.

When shooting an image with a CCTV, black box, action cam, or smartphone, when the camera is shooting at night or in a dark place, there is a problem that the image is taken too dark due to insufficient illumination, making it difficult to identify and recognize the object in the film.

In addition, there are many situations in which shooting is impossible not only at night but also in bad weather conditions, and a solution is needed to solve this problem.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a flashlight that can be used for night patrol, facility management, vehicle management, etc. regardless of any environment.
