The present invention relates to an integrated video management system for external devices, and more particularly, information output from external devices such as a point of sale (POS) system, an automated teller machine (ATM), an access control system, an oil manager, an unmanned management system, and the like. Integrated video management system for easy management such as integrated management, control and compression storage by real-time transmission to digital video recorder (hereinafter referred to as DVR) by mixing data with image data captured by camera It is about.

In general, an external device such as a POS system, an ATM, an access control system, an oil manager, an unmanned management system, or the like outputs data for driving other peripheral devices such as a printer or a monitor, communicating with a server, and storing data. In addition, the management of the monitoring and storage of the image captured by installing a camera around the external device through the CCTV system in the management room or computer room, etc. was separately performed.

Therefore, since the processing data of the external device and the video data of the CCTV system is managed separately, the manpower and equipment for this increase has not been efficiently managed. In particular, since data and image data of an external device are separately stored and managed in a state in which they are not synchronized, it is difficult to confirm synchronization if necessary.

Furthermore, in order to continuously store analog video data of CCTV systems, video tapes need to be frequently replaced, which is cumbersome and requires a lot of video tapes, which makes it difficult to store and manage video data. There was a disadvantage of being worse.

Recently, the DVR system has been newly developed due to the development of digital image processing technology. This DVR system can overcome the shortcomings of analog CCTV system, integrate various solutions such as call with external devices using digital video, and it is becoming increasingly high-performance and multi-channel. Therefore, by using the DVR to integrate the information data of the external device and the image data of the camera, management such as management, control and storage is made more efficient.

6 and 7 show a conventional external device integrated management system using a DVR recorder, as shown in the information data output from the plurality of external devices 101, and to take a picture of the surroundings of the external device (101) Image data output from the plurality of cameras 102 is transmitted to the DVR 103, the image data of the camera 102 is converted into an analog to digital signal through the capture board 104 provided in the DVR 103 to control The control unit 105 mixes the image data and the information data transmitted from the external device 101 and outputs the mixed image data as one image data.

In addition, the image data output as described above can be output or displayed by a peripheral device such as a printer 106 or a monitor 107, and stored in the storage means 108 provided on its own, the server (through the network ( 109 or managed by the client 110.

However, the conventional external device integrated management system as described above is configured to directly transfer the video data of the camera 102 and the information data of the external device 101 to the control unit 105 provided in the DVR 103. In the case of using the same external device 101 by connecting several devices, the same transmission method and protocol are used, so there is no problem, but the connection method and protocol are different. In order to use it, it is necessary to have various transmission methods and protocol interpreters in the DVR 103 due to the difference between the transmission methods and the protocols, and even if equipped with the integrated management by simultaneously processing different transmission methods and protocols. Was technically a very complex and difficult problem.

In addition, since the DVR 103 is a very complex system that simultaneously stores, retrieves, and monitors image data input from the plurality of cameras 102, high-speed operation such as a codec for compressing an image is required for efficient storage. And continuous recording on the hard disk for continuous storage. If an excessive load is generated in the controller 105 for the above reason, a stable operation cannot be performed. There were many problems in managing multiple units.

The present invention is to solve the above conventional problems, the purpose of which is a single module called a data capture module (Data Capture Module) equipped with a VBI (Vertical Blanking Interval) transmission function and a text insertion function By using exclusively for cameras and cameras, it is possible to efficiently manage and manage a plurality of external devices with different transmission methods and protocols, and to perform accurate and stable integrated management such as real-time video and data transmission, storage, and monitoring. To provide an integrated video management system.

The present invention for achieving the above object, a plurality of external devices, a plurality of cameras respectively provided in the external device to shoot the peripheral device, the plurality of external devices and the camera connected to each of the external device and A plurality of data capture modules for receiving image data and information data from a camera and inserting the information data into the image data and outputting composite image data; An external device image management unit including a video recorder; A peripheral device for receiving and displaying image data from the digital video recorder; The external device integrated video management system includes a digital video recorder of the external device video management unit and a plurality of external devices connected to a network and an integrated control unit for controlling the external device video management unit.

In addition, the present invention is characterized in that the integrated video management system for an external device further comprising a file server connected to the network for backing up the video data output from the digital video recorder.

In another aspect, the present invention, the digital capture module, a data receiver for receiving data output from an external device, an image receiver for receiving the image data output from the camera, a control unit for receiving and calculating the data received from the data receiver And an image processor which receives the image data from the image receiver, receives the information data from the control unit, inserts the information data into the active section of the image data, and inserts the information data into the VBI section of the image data. There is a feature in the integrated video management system of an external device consisting of a video output device for outputting video data mixed with video and text.
