Please refer to Figure 1. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the security monitoring system of the present invention. The security monitoring system of the present invention includes an extension device 10, an image host 20, and an external storage device 30.

The extension device 10 can be a camera or a sensor. For example, the camera can be used to perform the function of shooting images or recording and recording, and the sensor can be used to detect passing or occurring people and things. According to the present invention, the extension device 10 is a camera, and it can be a plurality of cameras, and can be installed in different places. Here, the image host 20 can be connected to a plurality of extension devices 10 at the same time through a wired or wireless manner.

The image host 20 may be a computer host, and a parameter database 21 is stored. The parameter database 21 stores the device identification code of the image host 20 or/and the extension device 10 and corresponding setting parameters, such as shared parameters and specific parameters. When the video host 20 sets the parameters to the plurality of extension devices 10, the plurality of extension devices 10 will all set common parameters, but the setting of each extension device 10 corresponds to a specific parameter (such as IP Address). Furthermore, a plurality of extension devices 10 will be set to the same common parameters, but each extension device 10 will be set with specific parameters corresponding to it. Based on this, the specific parameter is the exclusive parameter value of the extension device 10, for example, if the IP address of the web camera is the same default value, the image host 20 will only be able to catch one web camera. Therefore, through the setting of specific parameters, the video host 20 can capture a plurality of network cameras.

Here, the common parameters may be resolution, FPS, Bit rate, and the account password of the extension device 10, etc. The specific parameter may be a fixed IP address, etc. The preset value of the specific parameter in the parameter database 21 is set to the corresponding extension device 10, and the specific parameter is a unique value and cannot be repeated. If the specific parameter is not a unique value, it will cause, for example, duplicate IP addresses, causing IP conflicts, and making the extension device 10 unable to operate normally.

The external storage device 30 includes an identification code 31. When the external storage device 30 is connected to the image host 20, the image host 20 has a verification program to verify the identification code 31. In one embodiment, the identification code 31 is a code that is encrypted and executed, and the identification code 31 can only be decoded and verified by the verification program of the image host 20. When the identification code 31 is correct, the image host 20 can set the extension device 10 according to the parameter database 21. In addition, the image host 20 can further set various parameter values of the image host 20 itself according to the parameter database 21, for example, restore the factory settings. In some embodiments, the external storage device 30 is a plug-and-play storage device, such as a flash drive, a flash drive, etc.

The parameter database 21 further stores network setting parameters of the image host 20 and the extension device 10. Here, the video host 20 and the extension device 10 can communicate with each other through a network protocol, such as ONVIF, RTSP, etc., so that the image host 20 and the extension device 10 can be connected to each other and transmit data. Based on this, when the image host 20 is connected to the external storage device 30 and the identification code 31 stored in the external storage device 30 is confirmed to be correct, the image host 20 can transmit the network setting parameters of the parameter database 21 to the extension device 10 for further set up. For example, the aforementioned IP address, DHCP, resolution, Bit rate, and the account password of the extension device 10 can be connected through the network protocol to transmit the aforementioned network setting parameters.

Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of the parameter database of the present invention. The parameter database 21 further stores extended device setting parameters 23 and host setting parameters 24. When the external storage device 30 is connected to the video host 20 and the verification identification code 31 of the video host 20 corresponds to the extension device setting parameter 23, the image host 20 can set the extension device 10 according to the extension device setting parameter 23. When the verification identification code 31 of the image host 20 corresponds to the host setting parameter 24, the image host 20 can set the image host 20 according to the host setting parameter 24. In other words, in some embodiments, one external storage device 30 stores the identification code 31 corresponding to the extension device setting parameter 23; the other external storage device 30 stores the identification code 31 corresponding to the host setting parameter 24, so that the operator can Different external storage devices 30 perform desired operations.

For example, during the front-end operation of the factory production, the security monitoring system will have a fixed factory value. Based on this, the external storage device 30 can be used to set the identification code first. When the product is about to be verified in the factory, use this external storage device 30 The parameters required by the security monitoring system are set up. In addition to simplifying the production process, the external storage device 30 can also receive information sent by the security monitoring system. When working on the maintenance side of the customer's equipment, when the security monitoring system fails to be repaired, the external storage device 30 can be used to restore the initial value of the imaging system. If it works normally after the restoration, the equipment damage caused by the disassembly and assembly operations can be avoided.

After that, the identification code of the external storage device is received (step S12). In some embodiments of step S12, when the external storage device 30 is connected to the image host 20, the image host 20 automatically initiates the authentication mechanism. At the same time, the image host 20 receives the identification code 31 of the external storage device 30.

Then, the identification code is authenticated. When the verification mechanism confirms that the identification code is correct, the image host sets the extension device according to the parameter database (step S13). In some embodiments of step S13, after the image host 20 receives the identification code 31 of the external storage device 30, the image host 20 will then verify the identification code 31 of the received external storage device 30 through the previously activated verification mechanism. When the verification mechanism confirms that the identification code 31 is correct, the image host 20 can set the extension device 10 according to the parameter database 21. Based on this, the image host 20 can preferably be a computer host and store a parameter database 21. In addition, the image host 20 is mainly connected to the extension device 10. Here, the image host 20 can be connected to a plurality of extension devices 10 at the same time through a wired or wireless manner.
