The status information of the WLAN device involved mainly reflects the signal location information of the device and the attribute information of the device itself, including but not limited to the device MAC, the device name, the signal distance, and the like.

The monitoring management module determines whether there are other persons entering the room according to the monitoring information of the wireless monitoring unit and the WLAN device information pre-configured in the whitelist of the monitoring rule; if other entrants are monitored and are not within the monitoring range of the camera, the monitoring management module sends Command to adjust the camera to the image monitoring unit The head shot points until the target is found, and then it is judged whether it is an illegal entrant according to the pre-configured face image information of the white list in the monitoring rule.

In addition, after the wireless monitoring unit monitors the indoor WLAN device, the image monitoring unit also sends the information in the lens monitoring range to the monitoring management module, and the monitoring management module determines according to the information of the wireless monitoring unit and the image monitoring unit and according to the requirements of the monitoring rules. Processing, if it is determined that there is an illegal entry person, and is not within the monitoring range of the camera, the monitoring management module notifies the image monitoring unit to adjust the lens to the target.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a home monitoring system implemented by a monitoring management module according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, including:

Step 300: The monitoring management module receives the WLAN device status information sent by the wireless monitoring unit.

Step 301 to step 303: Combine the preset monitoring rules in the configuration module to determine whether other people enter the room. If the image information of the current angle collected by the image monitoring unit is unmanned face information, adjust the image monitoring unit to adjust the monitoring angle. Until the target is found, the monitoring management module determines whether to perform monitoring or releasing the monitoring operation according to the face information in the monitoring rule preset in the configuration module; if it is determined to perform the monitoring operation, the interface of the image monitoring unit is called to enable the The image monitoring unit enters the image monitoring operation.
