Camera shooting may be started by the external input / output unit 107 as a door switch in addition to the detection of the sensor 12. At this time, the intruder is separated from the position where the alarm 10 is installed, so the shooting period is further increased, or when the intruder enters the place where the alarm 10 is installed, the sensor 12 detects the sensor 12 and starts the camera shooting. It is also possible.

Referring to the flowchart of Figure 4 the operating state of the alarm 10 of the present invention having the configuration as described above are as follows.

When power is supplied to the alarm 10, the control unit 102 first checks the ring signal detection of the alarm 10 and the operation mode of the alarm. After detecting the ring signal, it operates according to the command input by the user. The ring signal is used to change the alarm setting by a user dialing from outside.

If this is explained in detail, a user can make a telephone call and change the setting state, such as the mode of the alarm 10, from the outside, even when telephone call does not come from the alarm 10. For example, the user calls the telephone number assigned to the alarm 10, waits for a predetermined number of times (about 10 times), and the control unit 102 of the alarm 10 detects this and waits for a password input. If the password is entered correctly, it enters the controllable state. The user can press the button for the above-described control operation in the controllable state to change the setting. If the ring call signal is not longer than 3 seconds, the control unit 102 clears the ring counter and maintains the standby state again. The setting change by the detection of the ring signal can be used in the alarm 10 in either the alert or release mode.

If no ring signal is detected, check the operation mode. The alarm's operating mode is one of two modes, 'border' or 'off'. The alert mode is a mode in which the alarm 10 performs a normal intrusion detection operation, and the release mode is a mode in which the intrusion detection operation is stopped and a user can input a specific function.

The controller 102 detects a signal input from the sensor 12 in the alert mode. If the intruder enters the room and the sensor 12 detects the intrusion fact, the control unit 102 operates the camera photographing unit 109 to start taking the picture of the intruder. Simultaneously with taking a picture, the control unit 102 performs an operation of dialing a predetermined telephone number through a telephone line. Images stored by the camera photographing unit 109 may be transmitted to a preset storage device through a telephone line (which may use a communication network such as the Internet) or may be output later and used as evidence of intrusion.

In the dialing operation, after the hook of the telephone is turned off in the controller 102, the telephone call is made using the telephone number data stored in the memory. If an empty memory is found during the memory check process, it moves to the next memory and makes a call. The dialing operation is repeated three times until a call is made using the telephone number, and returns after 10 seconds.

When the call is connected using the set phone number, the control unit 102 repeats a warning tone (..) every predetermined time to indicate that the call has been made from the alarm device 10. The user can hear this alarm to recognize that a call has come from the alarm 10.

When the user receives a call from the alarm 10, the user can remotely control the alarm 10 by pressing a specific button of the telephone used by the user. For example, when the button 1 is pressed, the control operation of the alarm device 10 executes the telephone transmission operation once three seconds after the telephone is disconnected as a confirmation call. If you press button 2, you can alert the intruder by ringing the siren for about 10 ~ 15 seconds as a siren generation signal. If button 3 is pressed, the mode setting of the alarm 10 can be changed and it is changed in the order of Off-Alert. Press button 4 to confirm the mode currently set as mode recheck. When button 5 is pressed, the microphone of alarm 10 is turned off and the speaker is turned on as a voice transmission command. This is for the user to voicely warn the intruder through the speaker of the alarm 10. When button 6 is pressed, the microphone of alarm 10 is turned on and the speaker is turned off as an internal voice reception command. This is for confirming the intrusion by listening to the sound of the room in which the alarm 10 is installed. Button 7 is for disconnecting the phone. The alarm 10 disconnects the call when this command is input. In addition, if there is no input for a predetermined time from the user's telephone, it is automatically disconnected. Button 8 is for changing the state of the phone number, and after pressing this number, it is possible to change the calling phone number of the alarm 10 by pressing a key such as '# + * + 1 + phone number + *' and the like. The control unit 102 of the alarm 10 stores the input telephone number in the memory. As described above, the user of the alarm 10 can detect an intruder who has entered the room and take appropriate defense measures.

The alarm 10 of the present invention may also input a key command or switch a function mode by using the keypad 30 attached to the rear case 22 of the alarm 10 in the release mode state. That is, in the release mode, the user can press a button of the keypad 30 to set specific functions such as telephone number input, password input, extension number input, siren selection, and electronic / mechanical selection. In addition, the user can change the setting state by connecting to the alarm 10 via a telephone from the outside.

As such, according to the present invention, it is possible to secure evidence of the crime by detecting illegal intruders in a specific place where an alarm is installed and taking and storing photos in real time. Listening to the situation on the scene helps crime prevention, and also has the effect that it is possible to input a control command from the outside through the telephone line.
