(M100), the management server SV and the portable terminal MP operated by the administrator (or a person equivalent thereto) send an initial installation coordinate value storage request signal to the storage means 351 of the difference detection unit 35. Transmit (M110).
Note that the portable terminal MP controls the control unit 30 directly or indirectly (via the management server SV) by the operation of the administrator (or a person equivalent thereto) by installing a management application or the like. Can do.

The GPS sensor 13 always detects the current position coordinate value (current position information) (M120), and transmits the current position coordinate value signal to the difference detection unit 35 (M121).
The storage unit 351 stores the initial installation coordinate value, which is the current position coordinate value from the GPS sensor 13, based on the initial installation coordinate value request signal (M130). That is, this initial installation coordinate value becomes the initial installation coordinate value of the monitoring device 1.
The difference detection unit 352 refers to the initial installation coordinate value stored in the storage unit 351 when obtaining the difference between the initial installation coordinate value stored in the storage unit 351 and the current position coordinate value that is constantly detected. (M131).

After the initial installation, the monitoring device 1 is in a standby mode until a detection signal detected as the presence of the detection target or a differential signal based on the signal from the GPS sensor 13 is detected or detected.

(Geomagnetic sensor)
Further, when the initial installation work is performed at an arbitrary position, the monitoring device 1 faces the front which is the center of automatic control of the monitoring device 1 (optimum direction), for example, the south device is surely turned to the south direction. 1 is provided with a geomagnetic sensor (not shown).
Based on the geomagnetism detected by the geomagnetic sensor, the control unit 30 drives the drive motor 3b and controls the solar panel 21 so as to face the optimum direction.
This eliminates the need for adjustment work at the time of initial installation, and it is not necessary for the operator performing the installation work to have specialized knowledge or ability such as an administrator, so that work speed can be increased and work efficiency can be improved. it can.

(First priority mode of the monitoring device 1)
With reference to FIG. 4, the flow of processing when an intruder enters the predetermined detection range of the monitoring device 1 will be described.
When an intruder who is a detection target enters a predetermined detection range of the monitoring device 1 (for example, a radius of 3 m centered on the monitoring device 1), the human sensor 14a (the detection sensor 14 in FIG. 4) It is detected that there is a person (object to be detected) (M200), and a detection signal is detected that is detected that there is an intruder (M201).
The signal determination unit 34 that has received the detection signal performs signal determination processing on the detection signal (M210).

As a result of the signal determination process, the signal determination unit 34 determines that it is in the first priority mode (see FIG. 3), transmits the first priority mode signal to the management server SV and the portable terminal MP (M211), and the camera. The first priority mode signal is transmitted to the control unit 32 (M212). At this time, the first priority mode signal is also transmitted to the panel control unit 33. However, in the present embodiment, the panel control unit 33 that has received the first priority mode signal does not perform the driving process and the like, and therefore is omitted. is doing.

Upon receiving the first priority mode signal, the camera control unit 32 performs activation and drive processing (M220), transmits an activation signal (control signal) to the monitoring camera 11 (M221), and also transmits a drive signal ( Control signal) is transmitted (M222).

The monitoring camera 11 that has received the activation signal starts photographing the intruder (M230), transmits the photographing data to the management server SV and the portable terminal MP (M231), and transmits the photographing data to the recording unit 15. (M232).
The recording unit 15 that has received the image data starts recording the image data (M240). Similarly, the management server SV that has received the shooting data starts recording in the recording device SV5.

At this time, the surveillance camera 11 performs pan / tilt driving so that the camera driving unit 12 tracks the intruder based on the detection signal detected by the human sensor 14a as the presence of the intruder (M250). Thereby, an intruder can be reliably imaged.

Thereafter, when the intruder disappears (escapes out of the predetermined detection range) from within the predetermined detection range of the monitoring device 1 (that is, within the predetermined detection range of the human sensor 14a), the detection sensor 14 detects the target to be detected (entrance Is not detected (M207).
In other words, the non-detection indicates that the detection sensor 14 detects that the detection target does not exist within the predetermined detection range.

Based on the fact that the detection signal detected by the human sensor 14a as the presence of an intruder is not transmitted (in other words, the signal determination unit 34 detects the detection signal detected by the human sensor 14a as the absence of an intruder). It is determined that the standby mode is selected (M260), and a standby mode signal is transmitted to the management server SV and the portable terminal MP (M261), and a standby mode signal is transmitted to the camera control unit 32. (M262).

Upon receiving the standby mode signal, the camera control unit 32 performs stop processing related to the monitoring camera 11 and the camera driving unit 12 (M270), transmits a stop signal to the monitoring camera 11 (M271), and stops to the camera driving unit 12 A signal is transmitted (M272).

The monitoring camera 11 that has received the stop signal stops shooting (M280), stops transmission of shooting data to the management server SV and the portable terminal MP (transmission of shooting data with a stop signal) (M281), and the recording unit 15 The transmission of the photographing data is stopped (transmission of photographing data with a stop signal) (M282).
Thereby, the recording unit 15 stops the recording of the shooting data (M247).

When the monitoring camera 11 stops shooting, the camera drive unit 12 that has received the stop signal from the camera control unit 32 stops the pan / tilt drive for tracking the intruder (M257). Thereby, the monitoring apparatus 1 will be in standby mode, and can suppress power consumption.

(Second priority mode of monitoring device 1)
Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the flow of processing when the monitoring device 1 is stolen will be described.
In the second priority mode of the present embodiment, an intruder enters the predetermined detection range of the monitoring device 1, the intruder approaches the monitoring device 1, and the monitoring device 1 is carried, so that the theft has been performed. Assume and explain.
Therefore, the description that the human sensor 14a has detected that the detection target (intruder) is present within the predetermined detection range (M200) in the first priority mode is omitted, and monitoring is performed after the presence is detected. The following description is based on the fact that the device 1 has been moved.

When the intruder carries the monitoring device 1, the GPS sensor 13 moves from the initial installation coordinate value where the initial installation was performed at an arbitrary position, and the current position coordinate value is always detected (M300). The current position coordinate value signal (current position information) is transmitted to the difference detector 35 (M301), and the difference detector 35 having received the current position coordinate value signal calculates the difference between the initial installation coordinate value and the current position coordinate value. It detects (M302) and transmits a difference signal to the signal judgment part 34 (M303).
The signal determination unit 34 that has received the difference signal performs signal determination processing on the difference signal (M310).

As a result of the signal determination process, the signal determination unit 34 determines that it is in the second priority mode (see FIG. 3), transmits the second priority mode signal to the management server SV and the portable terminal MP (M311), and the camera. A second priority mode signal is transmitted to the control unit 32 (M312), and a second priority mode signal is transmitted to the panel control unit 33 (M313).

Since the camera control unit 32 that has received the second priority mode signal is currently in the first priority mode, the monitoring camera 11 has already started shooting an intruder, and an activation signal (control signal) is sent to the monitoring camera 11. Is not transmitted (M221), and a drive signal (control signal) is not transmitted to the camera drive unit 12 (M222).
Furthermore, the shooting data shot by the monitoring camera 11 has already been transmitted to the management server SV, the portable terminal MP, and the recording unit 15 (M231, M232), and recording has started (M240).

The panel control unit 33 that has received the second priority mode signal performs notification operation processing (M314), and transmits a notification operation signal to the alarm device 4 (M315).
The alarm device 4 that has received the notification operation signal performs a notification operation for notifying a warning sound around the monitoring device 1 (M316).

The panel control unit 33 that has received the second priority mode signal performs a pan driving stop process (M317), and transmits a stop signal to the panel driving unit 22 (M318).
The panel drive unit 22 that has received the stop signal performs a stop operation of automatic driving of the solar panel 21 (tracking operation such as sunlight) (M319).
In this manner, power can be reduced by stopping unnecessary functions in an abnormal state that is an unexpected situation.

The management server SV and the mobile terminal MP that have received the second priority mode signal display the information on the first display screen SV1 and the second display screen MP1. The administrator who confirmed the information (or a person equivalent thereto) switches the management server SV and the mobile terminal MP so that the manual operation can be manually performed so that the remote operation is possible. Operation processing is performed so that a manual operation switch (not shown) is turned on (M330).

The management server SV and the mobile terminal MP on which the manual monitoring operation has been performed perform a manual monitoring operation process (M331), and transmit a monitoring operation start signal (monitoring operation start instruction) to the camera control unit 32 (M332).

The camera control unit 32 that has performed the pan / tilt driving process to track the intruder (M220) performs the manual operation start process of the pan / tilt driving based on the reception of the monitoring operation start signal (M340). ), A manual drive signal is transmitted to the camera drive unit 12 (M341).
As a result, the camera driving unit 12 can be manually operated.

The camera drive unit 12 that has received the manual drive signal starts the manual drive so as to track the intruder based on the manual operation by the administrator (or a person equivalent thereto) (M342).

Thereafter, when the intruder disappears (escapes out of the predetermined detection range) from within the predetermined detection range of the monitoring device 1 (that is, within the predetermined detection range of the human sensor 14a), the detection sensor 14 detects the target to be detected (entrance (M208).
Based on the fact that the detection signal detected by the human sensor 14a as the presence of the intruder is not transmitted (in other words, the signal determination unit 34 detects the detection signal detected by the human sensor 14a as the absence of the intruder. (Based on the reception), a signal determination process is performed (M320), and if it is the first priority mode, a signal indicating that it is in the standby mode is transmitted to the camera control unit 32, the management server SV, and the portable terminal MP. Since it is in the second priority mode, no signal is transmitted to the camera control unit 32, the panel control unit 33, the management server SV, and the portable terminal MP.

An administrator who confirms the disappearance of the intruder (or a person equivalent thereto) switches the management server SV and the portable terminal MP so that the remote operation is disabled so as to stop the manual monitoring operation manually. Then, an off operation process is performed so that a manual operation switch (not shown) is turned off (M350).
Even if the intruder does not disappear from the predetermined detection range of the monitoring device 1, the manager (or a person equivalent thereto) stops the manual monitoring operation for the management server SV and the mobile terminal MP manually. As described above, an off operation process can be performed so that a manual operation switch (not shown) is turned off.

The management server SV and the portable terminal MP that have been manually stopped for manual monitoring perform manual monitoring operation cancellation processing (M351), and the panel control unit 33 is given a second priority mode cancellation signal (second priority mode cancellation instruction). (M352) and a monitoring operation stop signal (monitoring operation stop instruction) are transmitted to the camera control unit 32 (M353).
In other words, the second priority mode release signal and the monitoring operation stop signal are also standby mode signals.

The panel control unit 33 that has received the second priority mode release signal performs a pan drive stop release process (M354), and transmits a stop release signal to the panel drive unit 22 (M355).
The panel drive unit 22 that has received the stop release signal releases the stop of the solar panel 21, that is, starts the automatic drive (tracking operation such as sunlight) (M356).

Further, the panel control unit 33 that has received the second priority mode release signal performs notification stop processing (M357), and transmits a notification operation stop signal to the alarm device 4 (M358).
The alarm device 4 that has received the notification operation stop signal performs notification stop of the notification operation that has notified the warning sound around the monitoring device 1 (M359).

The camera control unit 32 that has received the monitoring operation stop signal performs manual operation stop processing for pan / tilt drive (M360), and transmits a manual drive stop signal, that is, an automatic tracking start signal to the camera drive unit 12 (M361).
The camera drive unit 12 that has received the manual drive stop signal stops the manual drive (M362).
Thereby, the camera drive unit 12 can track the intruder based on the detection signal of the human sensor 14a as described above.

The camera control unit 32 that has received the monitoring operation stop signal performs a monitoring camera stop process (M370), and transmits a stop signal to the monitoring camera 11 (M371).
The monitoring camera 11 that has received the stop signal stops shooting (M380), stops transmission of shooting data to the management server SV and the portable terminal MP (transmission of shooting data with a stop signal) (M381), and the recording unit 15 The transmission of the photographing data is stopped (transmission of photographing data with a stop signal) (M382). The recording unit 15 stops recording the shooting data (M248).
Thereby, the monitoring apparatus 1 will be in standby mode, and can suppress power consumption.

Note that the administrator (or a person equivalent thereto) can always acquire the current position coordinate value (current position information) of the monitoring device 1 via the management server SV and the portable terminal MP, thereby making an unexpected situation (here, , Theft).

(Third priority mode of monitoring device 1)
Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the flow of processing when the monitoring device 1 should fall will be described.
When the monitoring device 1 falls due to strong wind or the like, the monitoring device 1 moves from the initial installation position, that is, the GPS sensor 13 moves from the initial installation coordinate value (distance L1 in FIG. 7).
The GPS sensor 13 always detects the current position coordinate value (current position information) (M400), and transmits the current position coordinate value (current position information) to the difference detection unit 35 (M401). The difference detection unit 35 that has received the current position coordinate value detects a difference between the initial installation coordinate value and the current position coordinate value when initially installed at an arbitrary position (M402), and transmits the difference signal to the signal determination unit 34. (M403).
The signal determination unit 34 that has received the difference signal performs signal determination processing on the difference signal (M410).

As a result of the signal determination process, the signal determination unit 34 determines that the mode is the third priority mode (see FIG. 3), transmits a third priority mode signal to the management server SV and the portable terminal MP (M411), and the camera. A third priority mode signal is transmitted to the control unit 32 (M412), and a third priority mode signal is transmitted to the panel control unit 33 (M413).

The panel control unit 33 that has received the third priority mode signal performs pan driving stop processing (M414), and transmits a stop signal to the panel driving unit 22 (M415).
The panel drive unit 22 that has received the stop signal performs a stop operation of automatic driving of the solar panel 21 (tracking operation such as sunlight) (M416).

Upon receiving the third priority mode signal, the camera control unit 32 performs activation processing (420), and transmits an activation signal (control signal) to the monitoring camera 11 (M421).
Upon receiving the activation signal, the monitoring camera 11 starts shooting around the monitoring device 1 (M430), transmits shooting data to the management server SV and the portable terminal MP (M431), and sends shooting data to the recording unit 15. Is transmitted (M432).
The recording unit 15 that has received the imaging data starts recording the imaging data (M440).

The management server SV and mobile terminal MP that have received the third priority mode signal display the information on the first display screen SV1 and the second display screen MP1. The administrator who confirms the information (or a person equivalent thereto) switches the management server SV and the portable terminal MP so that the manual operation can be performed so that the remote operation is possible. Operation processing is performed so that (not shown) is turned on (M450).

The management server SV and the portable terminal MP on which the manual monitoring operation has been performed perform a manual monitoring operation process (M451), and transmit a monitoring operation start signal (monitoring operation start instruction) to the camera control unit 32 (M452).
The camera control unit 32 that has received the monitoring operation start signal performs pan / tilt drive manual operation start processing so that pan / tilt drive can be performed by drive operations from the management server SV and the portable terminal MP (M453). Then, a manual drive signal is transmitted to the camera drive unit 12 (M454).
As a result, the camera driving unit 12 can be manually operated.

The camera drive unit 12 that has received the manual drive signal starts the manual drive so as to monitor the surroundings of the monitoring device 1 based on the manual operation by the administrator (or a person equivalent thereto) (M455).

Thereafter, the manager (or a person equivalent thereto) who has confirmed the surroundings of the monitoring device 1 turns off the manual operation switch (not shown) so as to stop the manual monitoring operation on the management server SV and the portable terminal MP. Thus, an off operation process is performed (M460).

The management server SV and the portable terminal MP, which have been manually stopped for manual monitoring, perform manual monitoring operation cancellation processing (M461), and send a third priority mode cancellation signal (third priority mode cancellation instruction) to the panel control unit 33. (M462) and a monitoring operation stop signal (monitoring operation stop instruction) is transmitted to the camera control unit 32 (M463).
In other words, the third priority mode release signal and the monitoring work stop signal are also standby mode signals.

The panel control unit 33 that has received the third priority mode release signal performs a pan drive stop release process (M464), and transmits a stop release signal to the panel drive unit 22 (M465).
The panel drive unit 22 that has received the stop cancellation signal performs the stop cancellation of the solar panel 21, that is, the start operation of automatic driving (tracking operation such as sunlight) (M466).

The camera control unit 32 that has received the monitoring operation stop signal performs manual operation stop processing for pan / tilt drive (M470), and transmits a manual drive stop signal, that is, an automatic tracking start signal to the camera drive unit 12 (M471).
The camera drive unit 12 that has received the manual drive stop signal stops the manual drive (M472).
Thereby, the camera drive unit 12 can track the intruder based on the detection signal of the human sensor 14a as described above.

Upon receiving the monitoring operation stop signal, the camera control unit 32 performs a monitoring camera stop process (M480), and transmits a stop signal to the monitoring camera 11 (M481).
The monitoring camera 11 that has received the stop signal stops shooting (M490), stops transmission of shooting data to the management server SV and the portable terminal MP (transmission of shooting data with a stop signal) (M491), and the recording unit 15 (Transmission of shooting data with stop signal to stop transmission of shooting data) (M492). The recording unit 15 stops the recording of the shooting data (M449).
Thereby, the monitoring apparatus 1 will be in standby mode, and can suppress power consumption.

(The fourth priority mode of the monitoring device 1)
Next, the flow of processing when the flame that is the detection target is detected within the predetermined detection range of the monitoring device 1 will be described.
When the flame to be detected occurs within a predetermined detection range of the monitoring device 1 (for example, a radius of 10 m centered on the monitoring device 1), the flame detection sensor 14b (the detection sensor 14 in FIG. 4) detects the predetermined detection range. While detecting the presence of the detection target (flame) within the range (M200), a detection signal is transmitted to the signal determination unit 34 (M201).
The signal determination unit 34 that has received the detection signal that there is presence performs signal determination processing for the detection signal (M210) (see FIG. 4).

As a result of the signal determination process, the signal determination unit 34 determines that it is the fourth priority mode (see FIG. 3), and sends the fourth priority mode to the camera control unit 32, the panel control unit 33, the management server SV, and the portable terminal MP. Send a signal.

After the detection signal from the detection sensor 14 is determined to be the fourth priority mode, the processing flow is the same as that of the third priority mode shown in FIG.
