Description

Security device and control method {Security apparatus and method}

The present invention relates to a security system and a method thereof. More specifically, when an abnormality occurs in the absence of an emergency, a security device suitable for taking a picture of an indoor situation when an abnormality occurs while dialing a preset telephone number of a telephone. And a control method thereof.

In recent years, as the industry is advanced and advanced, efforts to create a comfortable living environment are increasing, and in response to this, various convenience facilities and safety devices are provided to prevent various accidents in advance.

For example, various electronic door lock devices have been actively developed in the door lock system as an opportunity for the development of the electronic industry. In general, the electronic door lock device has been widely used in the electronic password card method, and there are other encryption method, eyeball, fingerprint recognition method. Among the above methods, the electronic door lock device of the electronic password card method or the encryption method has the inconvenience of having them, and the electronic door lock device of the eyeball.fingerprint recognition method is an expensive device, which is very economical for the general public.

In addition, such a safety device does not help at all from a long distance because the user must operate the door lock device directly. In other words, if you go out with the door unlocked, you will never find a way to lock the door at the outing. Becomes

In recent years, so-called security devices have been used to prevent theft or unauthorized intrusion. Such a security device attaches a variety of sensors to a security site to be monitored, and then performs a predetermined response according to the detected information.

When such a conventional security device confirms an intrusion into a predetermined monitoring area (security location), for example, it sends an alarm signal or generates an alarm sound to the contracted security company. The security company then performs security activities for the monitoring area where the security device that generated the alarm signal is installed.

However, the above-described conventional security device can alarm against intrusion, but does not record various information at the time of intrusion, and thus cannot find out the information about the intruder or the cause of the alarm. In addition, even when a remote administrator wants to inquire about a predetermined monitoring area, the conventional security device has a problem that cannot provide information. In addition, most security systems detect intruders by detecting only movement of objects, which makes it difficult to detect intruders in areas where movement of objects is difficult to detect. In addition, since most security systems use a closed communication network, there is a problem that a method manager cannot receive an intrusion alert when the method manager is moved away from the security system.

In addition to the door lock device or the security device described above, most homes are currently provided with residential / convenience devices such as air conditioners, cooking and heating gases, and various lighting devices. The control is possible only when living in a residential space where residential / convenience facilities are installed. In other words, since the control is impossible when the user is out of the house, it is inconvenient to return home if the user opens the gas cock, inadvertently turns off the lighting, or does not turn off the air conditioner. .

On the other hand, in a situation where a gas accident, a gas accident, or a fire-facing electronic product is in use is not recognized, a large-scale accident such as a fire occurs, causing a great economic loss.

As described above, the conventional safety device is almost impossible to identify the cause of various sensors because there is no other method than the method of confirming the indoor situation by voice from the outside. For example, in general, the safety device may be operated by a pet kept indoors, or by a small object installed in the room for some reason, and the safety device may be caused by the conventional safety device. There was no way of knowing how to imagine the cause of the abnormal operation of the sensor by checking the situation indoors after returning home.

On the other hand, in order to secure the above-mentioned disadvantages, there is a method in which a camera and a monitor connected to the camera can be prepared and the indoor situation can be checked by wire. For example, financial institutions, convenience stores, and supermarkets use this method. This method requires a large number of cameras and monitors to be connected by wire, which makes installation complicated and expensive. Is not suitable.

Accordingly, the present invention is proposed to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to detect an abnormal situation in a house by a call while the user is out of the house and at the same time listen to the indoor situation through a microphone. It is possible to provide a security device and a method of controlling the same, which enable the user to be alerted by an alarm to an intruder by transmitting an alarm sound.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a security device and a control method capable of notifying an outside of the occurrence of an emergency in the absence of an emergency and at the same time photographing the situation.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-install and inexpensive general safety system by constructing a monitoring sensor, a photographing camera, a periphery monitor, and a dial unit.
