Description

"REMOTE MONITORING AND SAFETY SYSTEM"

[001] The present patent refers to security systems in general, more specifically to a remote monitoring and security system which, according to its general characteristics, has as its basic principle the formation of a monitoring system. and security in its own, electronics-specific structure based on a monitoring center and a set of remote electronic modules or totems communicating through any means of communication, with a view to enabling extremely practical, safe and accurate full optimization in the set of procedures for the monitoring and remote security of public or private enclosed areas, as well as to respond to emergencies and to generate well-being and based on a monitoring and security system with great resistance, security and versatility. . With its specific configuration and format, and easily accessible for better user adaptation and security, it is easily adaptable to a wide range of security agencies and companies, monitoring, protections, information, locations and users in general, regardless of their characteristics. .

[002] Currently, the systems and devices employed for monitoring and safety procedures in areas widely known by the current state of the art are based on manual and electronic equipment, the former being traditional ones. Locally operated binoculars / communication radio sets that, while quite efficient, have numerous drawbacks, such as requiring one employee for each set, low observability and only observing visually and communicating to a control center; and the second ones are summarized in the traditional isolated cameras, which, albeit quite efficient, have some drawbacks, such as low observation capacity, fragile in the face of vandalism, since Only visual observation and simple communication to a control center has no good intimidation capability.

Thus, it appears that all current systems and devices employed to perform area monitoring and security procedures have no operational versatility, as they have only one functionality, namely visually monitor by binocular or camera a reduced area of coverage, besides presenting several drawbacks that prevent an accurate, safe and, mainly complete monitoring and protection for the population.

In an attempt to solve the problems listed above, patent document PI 0903795-0 discloses a stand-alone mobile repression, monitoring and emergency system, which includes a non-cylindrical totem, comprising an overhead lighting projecting beyond the profile of the cylindrical bottom where the speakers are arranged, and just below two inverted conical segments in which the outermost intermediate part comprises the light alert system. Camcorders are located only at an intermediate height of the equipment. It is further possible to state that in this patent document the components are encapsulated within solid segments of the equipment.

[005] Although patent document PI 0903795-0 presents equipment that solves and breaks the technical problems encountered in the state of the art, several other problems listed below persist: the arrangement of non-cylindrical equipment causes dirt to accumulate either upper illumination or projected part of sirens, which are places of necessary transparency for good light passage and consequent good signaling;

impossibility of complete perception of night vision by camcorders in the event of total or partial lack of own or ambient lighting;

positioning of camcorders only in the segment equipment intermediate (totem), facilitating access to vandalism actions, and also makes it impossible to capture images by complementary cameras in the failure of one of said video cameras;

no encoder, switch and supervision board on all components;

no ventilation system;

lack of modularity, no segmentation of the external structure to facilitate maintenance access to specific equipment components; lack of modularity, no shelves for docking and clamping of components to facilitate maintenance;

lack of modularity, no shelves for coupling more components and no higher verticality with component separation at a higher height that makes access to vandalism difficult; and

lack of a modular uninterruptible power supply system.

In this line of action, it has become essential, for example, for the bodies and companies responsible for monitoring and security of public and private areas, the structuring of a versatile, practical, safe and accurate system capable of monitoring and protecting highly versatile public and private areas, that means that in addition to monitoring multiple positions at the same time, they enable a wide range of other monitoring, protection and information procedures and general enclosed areas, and further minimize the need for and facilitate access to equipment maintenance. Thus, the general design of the present remote monitoring and security system, object of the present patent, is totally based on its simple and robust structure with a minimum necessary components and extremely simplified, safe and optimized operability in order to generate a remote system. practical and efficient monitoring and security system capable of remotely monitoring and protecting public or private enclosed areas in real time through a central monitoring and a set of electronic modules or remote totems communicating through any means of communication, enabling emergency response.

[007] The present invention is characterized by bringing together components in a different design, which will meet the various requirements that the nature of the use demands, namely remote monitoring and security of a wide range of areas in general. This design ensures a complete monitoring and security system of high efficiency, functionality, strength, durability, safety, ergonomics, interactivity, visibility and accuracy due to the excellent aggregate technical qualities, which provides advantages and improvements to the operational procedures employed to monitor. and provide security in various areas in general and whose general characteristics differ from other forms and models of monitoring and security systems widely known by the current state of the art.

[008] The present invention consists in the use of a modern, efficient, safe and functional remote monitoring and security system formed by a set of correctly incorporated electronic and monitoring and security solutions, composing a complete and differentiated monitoring and security system with a set of electronic modules or remote totems as monitoring and safety elements located in the areas to be monitored and protected, to enable the formation of a unique, complete and safe set, whose internal and external forms and arrangements allow the perfect adaptation to a wide range of locations and users.

[009] The present monitoring and safety system is based on the application of components and processes in a different design without, however, achieving a high degree of sophistication and complexity, making it possible to solve some of the main drawbacks of other forms and models. widely known by the current state of the art.
