본 발명은 무선 태양광 CCTV 에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 태양광 패널을 사용하여 무선으로 사용이 가능하며, 저전력으로 구동이 가능한 CCTV 에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a wireless solar CCTV, and more particularly, to a CCTV that can be used wirelessly using a solar panel and can be driven with low power.
일반적으로 영상 감시(이하 CCTV) 장치는 특정 지역을 감시하거나 단속하기 위해 카메라를 통해 감시 영상을 획득하는 장치이다. CCTV 장치는 주로 주차장이나 시설물, 건물 등의 내부에 설치되고, 작동에 필요한 전력을 공급받기 위해 전기 배선이 필수적이다. In general, a video surveillance (CCTV) device is a device that acquires surveillance images through a camera in order to monitor or control a specific area. CCTV devices are mainly installed inside parking lots, facilities, buildings, etc., and electrical wiring is essential to receive power required for operation.
이러한 CCTV 장치에 전력을 공급할 때, CCTV 장치가 설치된 주변에 단자함을 별도로 구비하고, 함체가 공급한 전력을 CCTV 장치에 사용 가능한 전력으로 변환하여 전력을 배분한다. 그런데 CCTV 장치는 전기 배선시에 상용 전원을 끌어다가 설치해야 하므로 복잡한 배선 방법과 설치의 어려움으로 인해 보안 서비스 회사 또는 전문 CCTV 회사를 통해서만 설치와 사용이 가능하였다. When supplying power to such a CCTV device, a terminal box is provided separately around the CCTV device is installed, and the power supplied by the box is converted into usable power for the CCTV device to distribute power. However, since the CCTV device must be installed by drawing commercial power during electrical wiring, it is possible to install and use it only through a security service company or a specialized CCTV company due to complicated wiring methods and difficulties in installation.
이러한 전기배선으로 인한 불편한 점을 해소하기 위해 무선으로 작동하는 CCTV 개발에 대한 필요성이 있어 왔다. 특히, 오지나 산간지역 등 상용 전원을 끌어오기 어려운 곳의 방범이나 산불감시 등에 필요한 CCTV 설치를 위해 무선으로 장시간 작동할 수 있는 CCTV 에 대한 필요성이 지속적으로 요구되어 왔다. In order to solve the inconvenience caused by such electrical wiring, there has been a need for the development of CCTVs that operate wirelessly. In particular, there has been a continuous need for CCTVs that can operate wirelessly for a long time to install CCTVs necessary for crime prevention or forest fire monitoring in places where commercial power is difficult to draw, such as remote areas or mountainous areas.

이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명을 상세히 설명하겠다. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
도 1은, 본 발명의 일실시 형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV의 구성도이다.1 is a configuration diagram of a wireless solar CCTV according to an embodiment of the present invention.
도 1을 참조하면, 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV(100)는 하우징(110), 카메라 모듈(120), 태양광 충전모듈(130), 배터리(140), 전원 공급부(150), 인코더(125), 메모리부(129), PIR 센서(160), 제1 안테나(171), 제2 안테나(172), 무선통신모듈(173), 마이크로컨트롤러(180)를 포함할 수 있다. Referring to FIG. 1, the wireless solar CCTV 100 according to the present embodiment includes a housing 110, a camera module 120, a solar charging module 130, a battery 140, a power supply unit 150, and an encoder. 125, a memory unit 129, a PIR sensor 160, a first antenna 171, a second antenna 172, a wireless communication module 173, and a microcontroller 180.
상기 하우징(110)은 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV의 외형을 구성할 수 있다. 다른 구성요소들은 상기 하우징의 내부에 배치되거나 외부에 연결될 수 있다. The housing 110 may configure the exterior of the wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment. Other components may be placed inside or connected to the outside of the housing.
상기 카메라 모듈(120)은, 영상을 촬영하여 전기신호로 변환할 수 있다. 상기 카메라 모듈에는 CCD 또는 CMOS 이미지 센서가 포함될 수 있다. 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV는 외부의 전원공급 없이 태양광 충전에 의해 작동해야 하므로 전력소모가 상대적으로 적은 CMOS 이미지 센서를 포함하는 것이 바람직하다. 상기 카메라 모듈(120)은 가시광선 영상을 촬영하기 위한 가시광선 이미지 센서와 적외선 영상을 촬영하기 위한 적외선 이미지 센서를 포함할 수 있다. 주간에는 광량이 충분하므로 가시광선 이미지 센서에 선명한 영상을 얻을 수 있으나, 야간이나 우천시에는 가시광선 영역에서 촬영되는 이미지는 선명하지 않을 수 있다. 이러한 경우를 대비하여 적외선 이미지 센서를 구비하면 적외선 영상을 촬영할 수 있다. The camera module 120 may capture images and convert them into electrical signals. The camera module may include a CCD or CMOS image sensor. Since the wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment must operate by solar charging without external power supply, it is preferable to include a CMOS image sensor with relatively low power consumption. The camera module 120 may include a visible ray image sensor for capturing a visible ray image and an infrared image sensor for capturing an infrared image. During the daytime, since the amount of light is sufficient, a clear image can be obtained from the visible light image sensor, but at night or in rainy weather, an image captured in the visible light region may not be clear. In preparation for this case, an infrared image can be captured by using an infrared image sensor.
상기 태양광 충전모듈(130)은, 태양 에너지를 전기 에너지로 변환할 목적으로 제작된 태양광 전지일 수 있다. 상기 태양광 패널은 금속과 반도체의 접촉면 또는 반도체의 PN 접합에 빛을 조사하면 광전효과에 의해 광기전력이 일어나는 것을 이용한 것이다. 금속과 반도체의 접촉을 이용한 것으로는 셀렌 광전지, 아황산구리 광전지가 있고, 반도체 PN 접합을 사용한 것으로는 태양전지로 이용되고 있는 실리콘 광전기가 있다. 태양전지는 전기적 성질이 다른 N(negative)형의 반도체와 P(positive)형의 반도체를 접합시킨 구조를 가지고 있으며 2개의 반도체 경계 부분을 PN 접합(PN-junction)이라 하며, 이러한 태양 전지에 태양 빛이 닿으면 태양 빛은 태양 전지 속으로 흡수되며, 흡수된 태양 빛이 가지고 있는 에너지에 의해 반도체 내에서 정공(hole)과 전자(electron)의 전기를 갖는 입자가 발생하여 각각 자유롭게 태양전지 속을 움직이지만, 전자는 N형 반도체 쪽으로, 정공은 P형 반도체 쪽으로 모이게 되어 전위가 발생하게 되며 이 때문에 전류가 흐르게 된다. The solar charging module 130 may be a solar cell manufactured for the purpose of converting solar energy into electrical energy. The solar panel uses photovoltaic power generated by a photoelectric effect when light is irradiated on a contact surface between a metal and a semiconductor or a PN junction of a semiconductor. There is a selenium photovoltaic cell and a copper sulfite photovoltaic cell using the contact between a metal and a semiconductor, and a silicon photovoltaic cell used as a solar cell using a semiconductor PN junction. A solar cell has a structure in which an N (negative) type semiconductor and a P (positive) type semiconductor are bonded together, and the boundary between the two semiconductors is called a PN-junction. When light hits, sunlight is absorbed into the solar cell, and particles with electricity of holes and electrons are generated in the semiconductor by the energy of the absorbed solar light, respectively, and move freely into the solar cell. Although it moves, electrons gather toward the N-type semiconductor and holes gather toward the P-type semiconductor, and a potential is generated, which causes current to flow.
상기 배터리(140)는 상기 태양광 충전모듈(130)에 의해 형성된 전기를 저장할 수 있다. 상기 배터리의 종류는 다양하게 구현될 수 있다. 상기 배터리는 하우징의 일부 영역에 삽입되도록 형성되며, 별도의 커버를 형성하여 배터리의 교환이 용이하게 할 수 있다. 별도로 도시하지는 않았으나, 상기 배터리를 상용전원으로 충전하기 위한 별도의 충전단자가 추가로 형성될 수 있다. 태양광 충전모듈(130)에 의해 충분한 초기 충전이 이루어지지 않는 경우에는 별도의 충전단자를 통해 상용전원이나 외부 전원을 연결하여 상기 배터리를 충전할 수 있다. 본 실시형태에서 상기 배터리는 출력전압이 3.7~4.2V 일 수 있다. The battery 140 may store electricity generated by the solar charging module 130 . The type of battery may be implemented in various ways. The battery is formed to be inserted into a partial area of the housing, and a separate cover is formed so that the battery can be easily replaced. Although not separately shown, a separate charging terminal for charging the battery with commercial power may be additionally formed. When sufficient initial charging is not performed by the solar charging module 130, the battery may be charged by connecting a commercial power source or an external power source through a separate charging terminal. In this embodiment, the battery may have an output voltage of 3.7 to 4.2V.
상기 전원공급부(150)는, 상기 배터리에 저장된 전기를 하우징에 실장되는 각부로 공급하는 역할을 할 수 있다. 상기 전원 공급부(150)는 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV에서 전기적인 작동이 필요한 각부에 전원을 공급할 수 있다. 본 실시형태에서는, 전원이 필요한 각부에 필요한 최소전류를 계산하고 상기 전원 공급부(150)에서 각 부에 필요한 전류만을 전달하도록 제어할 수 있다. 이렇게 함으로써 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV 의 작동전류를 최소화 할 수 있다. The power supply unit 150 may serve to supply electricity stored in the battery to each part mounted on the housing. The power supply unit 150 may supply power to each part requiring electrical operation in the wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment. In this embodiment, it is possible to calculate the minimum current required for each unit requiring power and to transfer only the current required for each unit from the power supply unit 150 . By doing this, it is possible to minimize the operating current of the wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment.
상기 인코더(125)는 카메라 모듈(120)에 연결되어 상기 카메라 모듈에 의해 촬영된 영상 데이터를 기설정된 형식으로 압축할 수 있다. 카메라 모듈에서 촬영된 영상 데이터를 유선이나 무선 통신을 통해 외부 기기로 전송하기 위해서는 표준화된 포맷으로 영상을 압축할 필요가 있다. 본 실시형태에서는, 상기 인코더(125)에서 촬영 영상 데이터를 무선통신을 위한 형식으로 압축할 수 있다. The encoder 125 may be connected to the camera module 120 and compress image data photographed by the camera module in a predetermined format. In order to transmit image data captured by the camera module to an external device through wired or wireless communication, it is necessary to compress the image into a standardized format. In this embodiment, the encoder 125 may compress photographed image data into a format for wireless communication.
상기 메모리부(129)는, 상기 인코더에 의해 압축된 영상 데이터를 저장할 수 있다. 상기 메모리부는 상기 압축된 영상 데이터를 일시적으로 저장하는 SDRAM 등의 임시 메모리를 포함할 수 있다. 또한, 상기 메모리부는 SD Card 등의 플래시 메모리를 포함할 수도 있다. The memory unit 129 may store video data compressed by the encoder. The memory unit may include a temporary memory such as SDRAM for temporarily storing the compressed image data. Also, the memory unit may include a flash memory such as an SD card.
상기 PIR(Passive Infra-Red) 센서(160)는 상기 카메라가 촬영하는 방향을 향하도록 배치되어 카메라 전면의 동작을 감지하는 센서이다. 상기 PIR(Passive Infra-Red) 센서는 적외선 인체감지 센서라고도 한다. PIR 센서는 피동형 적외선 센서를 의미하며 프레넬 렌즈를 통해 9~12도의 예각으로 일정 구간의 인체 이동을 감지할 수 있다. 센서의 특성상 마스킹 이펙트 등으로 인해 계수인원의 오차가 발생할 수 있으나 통계적 기법으로 장기적으로 오차의 범위를 줄일 수 있는 알고리즘을 채택하고 있다. 대신 매우 적은 전류 소모량으로 외부전원 없이 장기간 운영이 가능하며 소형으로 제작이 가능하기 때문에 방수 방적 설계가 용이하고 특별한 유지보수 없이 1년 이상 운영할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 특히 이동통신 모뎀을 장착할 경우 설치장소에 구애받지 않고 전국 어느곳이나 설치 및 데이터 수집이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. The PIR (Passive Infra-Red) sensor 160 is a sensor that is arranged to face a direction in which the camera captures and detects an operation in front of the camera. The PIR (Passive Infra-Red) sensor is also referred to as an infrared human body detection sensor. The PIR sensor means a passive infrared sensor and can detect the movement of a human body in a certain section at an acute angle of 9 to 12 degrees through a Fresnel lens. Due to the characteristics of the sensor, errors in the number of counts may occur due to masking effects, etc., but an algorithm that can reduce the range of errors in the long term with statistical techniques is adopted. Instead, it can be operated for a long time without an external power source with very low current consumption, and because it can be manufactured in a small size, it is easy to design waterproof and drip proof, and has the advantage of being able to operate for more than one year without special maintenance. In particular, when a mobile communication modem is installed, it has the advantage of being able to install and collect data anywhere in the country regardless of the installation location.
상기 제1 안테나(171)는, 상기 하우징에 부착되며, 외부의 모니터링 장비와 통신하기 위한 WiFi용 안테나이다. 복수개의 무선 태양광 CCTV 를 설치한 경우, 이들을 하나의 네트워크로 형성하고 하나의 서버 단말에서 모니터링을 할 수 있다. 이 때 복수의 무선 태양광 CCTV를 WiFi 네트워크 NVR(Network Video Recorder)에 연동하여 복수의 무선 태양광 CCTV를 동시에 모니터링 및 동시에 복수 저장을 할 수 있다. 또한 무선 태양광 CCTV 를 WiFi 공유기 또는 LTE 인터넷으로 연결하여 게이트웨이를 통해서 인터넷이 연결된 서버 단말 또는 스마트폰이나 테블릿 PC 에서 다수의 무선 태양광 CCTV를 모니터링 할 수 있으며 다수가 동시 접속하여 모니터링 할 수도 있다. The first antenna 171 is attached to the housing and is an antenna for WiFi to communicate with external monitoring equipment. When a plurality of wireless solar CCTVs are installed, they can be formed into one network and monitored by one server terminal. At this time, a plurality of wireless solar CCTVs can be linked to a WiFi network NVR (Network Video Recorder) to simultaneously monitor and simultaneously store a plurality of wireless solar CCTVs. In addition, by connecting wireless solar CCTVs to a WiFi router or LTE Internet, multiple wireless solar CCTVs can be monitored on a server terminal or smartphone or tablet PC connected to the Internet through a gateway, and multiple wireless CCTVs can be simultaneously accessed and monitored. .
상기 제2 안테나(172)는, 상기 하우징에 부착되며, 외부의 스마트폰과 직접 통신하기 위한 이동통신용 안테나이다.The second antenna 172 is attached to the housing and is an antenna for mobile communication for direct communication with an external smart phone.
상기 무선통신모듈(173)은, 상기 제1 안테나 및 제2 안테나를 통해 정보를 송수신할 수 있다. 상기 무선통신모듈은 WiFi 용 무선통신모듈 및 이동통신용 무선통신모듈을 포함할 수 있다. 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV는 LTE 등의 이동통신용 무선통신모듈을 포함할 수 있다. 이 때, 상기 제2 안테나(172)는 상기 이동통신용 무선통신 모듈(173)을 이용하여 해당 CCTV와 사용자의 스마트폰을 직접 연결하도록 할 수 있다. 상기 제2 안테나는 이와 같이 CCTV와 스마트폰 사이에 직접 이동통신용 무선통신이 가능하도록 할 수 있다. 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV는 스피커 및 마이크를 더 포함할 수 있고, 이러한 스피커 및 마이크를 통해 관리자의 스마트폰과 상기 CCTV 근처에 있는 사람 사이에 통화가 가능할 수 있다. The wireless communication module 173 may transmit and receive information through the first antenna and the second antenna. The wireless communication module may include a wireless communication module for WiFi and a wireless communication module for mobile communication. The wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment may include a wireless communication module for mobile communication such as LTE. At this time, the second antenna 172 can directly connect the CCTV and the user's smartphone using the wireless communication module 173 for mobile communication. The second antenna can enable direct wireless communication for mobile communication between the CCTV and the smart phone in this way. The wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment may further include a speaker and a microphone, and a call may be made between a manager's smartphone and a person near the CCTV through the speaker and microphone.
상기 마이크로 컨트롤러(MCU, 180)는, 상기 전원 공급부에 연결되는 각부의 작동을 제어할 수 있다. 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV 에 설치되는 각 구성요소들은 최소의 전류로 작동할 수 있도록 회로구성을 설계할 수 있다. 따라서, 상기 마이크로 컨트롤러는 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV 의 각 구성에 대해 최소의 전류만을 공급하도록 전원 공급부에서 각 부로 공급되는 전류를 제어할 수 있다. The microcontroller (MCU) 180 may control the operation of each part connected to the power supply unit. The circuit configuration can be designed so that each component installed in the wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment can operate with a minimum current. Therefore, the microcontroller can control the current supplied from the power supply unit to each unit so as to supply only the minimum current to each component of the wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment.
또한, 상기 MCU(180)는, 상기 PIR 센서(160)에 움직임이 감지되면, 기설정된 시간만큼 상기 카메라 모듈(120)을 작동시켜 촬영 및 녹화를 진행할 수 있다. PIR 센서에 일정시간동안 움직임이 감지되지 않으면 MCU는 상기 카메라 모듈을 슬립(sleep) 모드로 전환하고, 기타 구성요소의 전력 소모를 최소화할 수 있다. 상기 PIR 센서에서 움직임이 감지되면, 상기 카메라 모듈을 작동시켜 촬영 및 녹화를 진행할 수 있다. 이 때에서도, 수초 정도의 설정된 시간만큼만 카메라 모듈이 작동하도록 제어할 수 있다. In addition, when motion is detected by the PIR sensor 160, the MCU 180 may operate the camera module 120 for a preset time to perform photographing and recording. When motion is not detected by the PIR sensor for a certain period of time, the MCU may switch the camera module to a sleep mode and minimize power consumption of other components. When motion is detected by the PIR sensor, photographing and recording may be performed by operating the camera module. Even at this time, the camera module can be controlled to operate only for a set time of several seconds.
상기 MCU(180)는 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV 의 전반적인 작동을 제어할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 상기 PIR 센서에 움직임이 감지되면, 상기 제2 안테나(172)를 통해 외부의 스마트폰으로 알람신호를 전송할 수 있다. 또한, PIR 센서에 움직임 감지가 없더라도, 외부의 스마트폰으로부터 기설정된 신호가 수신되면, MCU 는 상기 카메라의 촬영 및 녹화를 진행하거나 상기 외부의 스마트폰으로 촬영정보를 전송하도록 할 수 있다. The MCU 180 may control the overall operation of the wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment. For example, when motion is detected by the PIR sensor, an alarm signal may be transmitted to an external smart phone through the second antenna 172 . In addition, even if there is no motion detection in the PIR sensor, when a preset signal is received from an external smart phone, the MCU can perform photographing and recording of the camera or transmit photographic information to the external smart phone.
본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV는 경고 조명부(190)를 더 포함할 수 있다. 상기 경고 조명부(190)는 상기 하우징의 전면부에 배치되며, 상기 PIR 센서에서 움직임이 감지되면 상기 경고 조명부가 기설정된 패턴으로 점등될 수 있다. 상기 경고 조명부(190)는 LED 가 사용될 수 있다. 예를 들어, 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV를 쓰레기 무단투기 금지 지역에 설치한 경우, 누군가가 쓰레기를 무단 투기하기 위해 나타나면 PIR 센서가 움직임을 감지하고 상기 경고 조명부(190)를 점등시켜 무단 투기를 억제할 수 있다. 이러한 경고 조치는 음성을 이용할 수도 있으나, 주택가에서는 음성경고로 인한 민원이 발생될 수 있으므로 이러한 경고 조명에 의해 소기의 목적을 달성할 수 있다. The wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment may further include a warning lighting unit 190 . The warning lighting unit 190 is disposed on the front portion of the housing, and when motion is detected by the PIR sensor, the warning lighting unit may be turned on in a predetermined pattern. As the warning lighting unit 190, an LED may be used. For example, when the wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment is installed in an area where illegal dumping of garbage is prohibited, the PIR sensor detects the movement and turns on the warning lighting unit 190 when someone appears to dump garbage without permission. You can suppress speculation. Such warning measures may use voice, but since civil complaints may occur due to voice warning in residential areas, the intended purpose can be achieved by such warning lighting.
도면에는 명확히 도시하지 않았으나, 하우징의 하부영역에 조명을 위한 LED 조명이 추가될 수 있다. 상기 경고 조명부(190)와는 별도로 CCTV 주변을 조명하여 촬영 품질을 높이기 위해 별도의 조명이 추가될 수 있다. 상기 LED 조명은 PIR 센서와 연동되어 CCTV 주변에 동작이 감지되었을 때에만 작동하도록 할 수 있다. Although not clearly shown in the drawing, an LED light for lighting may be added to the lower area of the housing. Separately from the warning lighting unit 190, a separate light may be added to improve shooting quality by illuminating the surroundings of the CCTV. The LED light can be operated only when motion is detected around the CCTV in conjunction with the PIR sensor.
도 2는, 본 발명의 다른 실시 형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV의 구조도이다.2 is a structural diagram of a wireless solar CCTV according to another embodiment of the present invention.
도 2를 참조하면, 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV(200)는 하우징(210), 카메라 모듈(220), 태양광 충전모듈(230), 배터리(240), 전원 공급부(250), PIR 센서(260), 제1 안테나(271), 제2 안테나(272), 마이크로컨트롤러(280), 경고조명등(290)을 포함할 수 있다. Referring to FIG. 2, the wireless solar CCTV 200 according to the present embodiment includes a housing 210, a camera module 220, a solar charging module 230, a battery 240, a power supply unit 250, a PIR A sensor 260, a first antenna 271, a second antenna 272, a microcontroller 280, and a warning light 290 may be included.
상기 하우징(210)은 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV의 외형을 구성할 수 있다. 다른 구성요소들은 상기 하우징의 내부에 배치되거나 외부에 연결될 수 있다. 상기 하우징은 일방향으로 길게 형성되며 내부에 실장공간이 형성된 다각기둥 형태로 형성될 수 있다. 상기 하우징의 전면에는 카메라 모듈(220)이 배치되고, 상면에는 태양광 충전모듈(230)이 배치되며, 후면에는 복수의 안테나(271, 272)가 설치될 수 있다. 상기 하우징의 내부에는 배터리(240), 전원 공급부(250), 마이크로 컨트롤러(280)등이 배치될 수 있다. 또한 상기 카메라 모듈이 배치되는 하우징의 전면에는 PIR 센서(260) 및 경고 조명등(290)이 배치될 수 있다. The housing 210 may configure the exterior of the wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment. Other components may be placed inside or connected to the outside of the housing. The housing is formed long in one direction and may be formed in a polygonal column shape with a mounting space formed therein. A camera module 220 is disposed on the front surface of the housing, a solar charging module 230 is disposed on the upper surface, and a plurality of antennas 271 and 272 may be installed on the rear surface. A battery 240, a power supply unit 250, a microcontroller 280, and the like may be disposed inside the housing. In addition, a PIR sensor 260 and a warning light 290 may be disposed on the front of the housing where the camera module is disposed.
상기 하우징의 전면부의 상부 및 양 측부에 돌출 커버 가 형성될 수 있다. 상기 하우징의 전면부에는 카메라 모듈, PIR 센서, 경고 조명등 등이 외부로 노출되게 배치되므로 이러한 구성요소들을 외부 환경으로부터 보호할 필요가 있다. 따라서, 상기 하우징의 전면부의 상부 및 양 측부를 상기 카메라 모듈, PIR 센서, 경고 조명등이 배치된 하우징의 전면부보다 돌출되도록 형성함으로써 상기 구성요소들을 보호할 수 있다. Protruding covers may be formed on the top and both sides of the front portion of the housing. Since a camera module, a PIR sensor, a warning light, etc. are exposed to the outside on the front of the housing, it is necessary to protect these components from the external environment. Accordingly, the components may be protected by forming the top and both sides of the front portion of the housing to protrude beyond the front portion of the housing where the camera module, the PIR sensor, and the warning light are disposed.
상기 카메라 모듈(220)은, 영상을 촬영하여 전기신호로 변환할 수 있다. 상기 카메라 모듈에는 CCD 또는 CMOS 이미지 센서가 포함될 수 있다. 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV는 외부의 전원공급 없이 태양광 충전에 의해 작동해야 하므로 전력소모가 상대적으로 적은 CMOS 이미지 센서를 포함하는 것이 바람직하다. 상기 카메라 모듈(220)은 가시광선 영상을 촬영하기 위한 가시광선 이미지 센서와 적외선 영상을 촬영하기 위한 적외선 이미지 센서를 포함할 수 있다. 주간에는 광량이 충분하므로 가시광선 이미지 센서에 선명한 영상을 얻을 수 있으나, 야간이나 우천시에는 가시광선 영역에서 촬영되는 이미지는 선명하지 않을 수 있다. 이러한 경우를 대비하여 적외선 이미지 센서를 구비하면 적외선 영상을 촬영할 수 있다. 상기 카메라 모듈(220)에서 촬영된 영상은 인코더를 통해 압축되고 메모리에 저장될 수 있다. The camera module 220 may capture images and convert them into electrical signals. The camera module may include a CCD or CMOS image sensor. Since the wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment must operate by solar charging without external power supply, it is preferable to include a CMOS image sensor with relatively low power consumption. The camera module 220 may include a visible ray image sensor for capturing a visible ray image and an infrared image sensor for capturing an infrared image. During the daytime, since the amount of light is sufficient, a clear image can be obtained from the visible light image sensor, but at night or in rainy weather, an image captured in the visible light region may not be clear. In preparation for this case, an infrared image can be captured by using an infrared image sensor. An image captured by the camera module 220 may be compressed through an encoder and stored in a memory.
상기 태양광 충전모듈(230)은, 태양 에너지를 전기 에너지로 변환할 목적으로 제작된 태양광 전지일 수 있다. 상기 태양광 패널은 금속과 반도체의 접촉면 또는 반도체의 PN 접합에 빛을 조사하면 광전효과에 의해 광기전력이 일어나는 것을 이용한 것이다. 금속과 반도체의 접촉을 이용한 것으로는 셀렌 광전지, 아황산구리 광전지가 있고, 반도체 PN 접합을 사용한 것으로는 태양전지로 이용되고 있는 실리콘 광전기가 있다. 태양전지는 전기적 성질이 다른 N(negative)형의 반도체와 P(positive)형의 반도체를 접합시킨 구조를 가지고 있으며 2개의 반도체 경계 부분을 PN 접합(PN-junction)이라 하며, 이러한 태양 전지에 태양 빛이 닿으면 태양 빛은 태양 전지 속으로 흡수되며, 흡수된 태양 빛이 가지고 있는 에너지에 의해 반도체 내에서 정공(hole)과 전자(electron)의 전기를 갖는 입자가 발생하여 각각 자유롭게 태양전지 속을 움직이지만, 전자는 N형 반도체 쪽으로, 정공은 P형 반도체 쪽으로 모이게 되어 전위가 발생하게 되며 이 때문에 전류가 흐르게 된다. 본 실시형태에서 상기 태양광 충전 모듈(230)은 필름타입으로 상기 하우징의 상부면에 부착될 수 있다. 상기 태양광 충전 모듈은 상기 하우징의 측면에 추가적으로 설치될 수도 있다. 상기 태양광 충전모듈이 배치되는 위치 및 형태는 하우징의 형태, CCTV 가 설치되는 지형 및 위치 등에 따라 다양하게 설계될 수 있다. The solar charging module 230 may be a solar cell manufactured for the purpose of converting solar energy into electrical energy. The solar panel uses photovoltaic power generated by a photoelectric effect when light is irradiated on a contact surface between a metal and a semiconductor or a PN junction of a semiconductor. There is a selenium photovoltaic cell and a copper sulfite photovoltaic cell using the contact between a metal and a semiconductor, and a silicon photovoltaic cell used as a solar cell using a semiconductor PN junction. A solar cell has a structure in which an N (negative) type semiconductor and a P (positive) type semiconductor are bonded together, and the boundary between the two semiconductors is called a PN-junction. When light hits, sunlight is absorbed into the solar cell, and particles with electricity of holes and electrons are generated in the semiconductor by the energy of the absorbed solar light, respectively, and move freely into the solar cell. Although it moves, electrons gather toward the N-type semiconductor and holes gather toward the P-type semiconductor, and a potential is generated, which causes current to flow. In this embodiment, the solar charging module 230 may be attached to the upper surface of the housing in a film type. The solar charging module may be additionally installed on the side of the housing. The position and shape at which the solar charging module is disposed may be variously designed according to the shape of the housing, the topography and position where the CCTV is installed, and the like.
상기 배터리(240)는 상기 하우징의 내부에 배치되며, 상기 태양광 충전모듈(230)에 의해 형성된 전기를 저장할 수 있다. 상기 배터리의 종류는 다양하게 구현될 수 있다. 상기 배터리는 하우징의 일부 영역에 삽입되도록 형성되며, 별도의 커버를 형성하여 배터리의 교환이 용이하게 할 수 있다. 별도로 도시하지는 않았으나, 상기 배터리를 상용전원으로 충전하기 위한 별도의 충전단자가 추가로 형성될 수 있다. 태양광 충전모듈(230)에 의해 충분한 초기 충전이 이루어지지 않는 경우에는 별도의 충전단자를 통해 상용전원이나 외부 전원을 연결하여 상기 배터리를 충전할 수 있다. 본 실시형태에서 상기 배터리는 출력 전압이 3.7~4.2V일 수 있다. The battery 240 is disposed inside the housing and can store electricity generated by the solar charging module 230 . The type of battery may be implemented in various ways. The battery is formed to be inserted into a partial area of the housing, and a separate cover is formed so that the battery can be easily replaced. Although not separately shown, a separate charging terminal for charging the battery with commercial power may be additionally formed. When sufficient initial charging is not performed by the solar charging module 230, the battery may be charged by connecting commercial power or external power through a separate charging terminal. In this embodiment, the battery may have an output voltage of 3.7 to 4.2V.
상기 전원공급부(250)는, 상기 하우징의 내부에 배치되며 상기 배터리에 저장된 전기를 하우징에 실장되는 각부로 공급하는 역할을 할 수 있다. 상기 전원 공급부(250)는 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV에서 전기적인 작동이 필요한 각부에 전원을 공급할 수 있다. 본 실시형태에서는, 전원이 필요한 각부에 필요한 최소전류를 계산하고 상기 전원 공급부(250)에서 각 부에 필요한 전류만을 전달하도록 제어할 수 있다. 이렇게 함으로써 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV 의 작동전류를 최소화 할 수 있다. The power supply unit 250 is disposed inside the housing and may serve to supply electricity stored in the battery to each part mounted in the housing. The power supply unit 250 may supply power to each part requiring electrical operation in the wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment. In this embodiment, it is possible to calculate the minimum current required for each unit requiring power and to transfer only the current required for each unit from the power supply unit 250 . By doing this, it is possible to minimize the operating current of the wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment.
상기 PIR(Passive Infra-Red) 센서(260)는 상기 하우징의 전면부에 배치되어 카메라 전면의 동작을 감지할 수 있다. 상기 PIR 센서는 적외선 인체감지 센서라고도 한다. PIR 센서는 피동형 적외선 센서를 의미하며 프레넬 렌즈를 통해 9~12도의 예각으로 일정 구간의 인체 이동을 감지할 수 있다. 센서의 특성상 마스킹 이펙트 등으로 인해 계수인원의 오차가 발생할 수 있으나 통계적 기법으로 장기적으로 오차의 범위를 줄일 수 있는 알고리즘을 채택하고 있다. 대신 매우 적은 전류 소모량으로 외부전원 없이 장기간 운영이 가능하며 소형으로 제작이 가능하기 때문에 방수 방적 설계가 용이하고 특별한 유지보수 없이 1년 이상 운영할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 특히 이동통신 모뎀을 장착할 경우 설치장소에 구애받지 않고 전국 어느곳이나 설치 및 데이터 수집이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. The PIR (Passive Infra-Red) sensor 260 is disposed on the front side of the housing to detect motion of the front side of the camera. The PIR sensor is also referred to as an infrared human body detection sensor. The PIR sensor means a passive infrared sensor and can detect the movement of a human body in a certain section at an acute angle of 9 to 12 degrees through a Fresnel lens. Due to the characteristics of the sensor, errors in the number of counts may occur due to masking effects, etc., but an algorithm that can reduce the range of errors in the long term with statistical techniques is adopted. Instead, it can be operated for a long time without an external power source with very low current consumption, and because it can be manufactured in a small size, it is easy to design waterproof and drip proof, and has the advantage of being able to operate for more than one year without special maintenance. In particular, when a mobile communication modem is installed, it has the advantage of being able to install and collect data anywhere in the country regardless of the installation location.
상기 제1 안테나(271)는, 상기 하우징의 후방에 부착되며, 외부의 모니터링 장비와 통신하기 위한 WiFi용 안테나이다. 복수개의 무선 태양광 CCTV 를 설치한 경우, 이들을 하나의 네트워크로 형성하고 하나의 서버 단말에서 모니터링을 할 수 있다. 이 때 복수의 무선 태양광 CCTV를 동일한 WiFi 네트워크에 형성하면, 복수의 CCTV를 직접 서버 단말에서 모니터링 할 수 있다. 또한, 라우터나 게이트웨이를 이용하면 원거리의 서버에서도 상기 복수의 CCTV를 모니터링 할 수 있다. The first antenna 271 is attached to the rear of the housing and is an antenna for WiFi to communicate with external monitoring equipment. When a plurality of wireless solar CCTVs are installed, they can be formed into one network and monitored by one server terminal. At this time, if a plurality of wireless solar CCTVs are formed in the same WiFi network, the plurality of CCTVs can be directly monitored by the server terminal. In addition, by using a router or a gateway, the plurality of CCTVs can be monitored even from a remote server.
상기 제2 안테나(272)는, 상기 하우징의 후방에 부착되며, 외부의 스마트폰과 직접 통신하기 위한 이동통신용 안테나이다. The second antenna 272 is attached to the rear of the housing and is an antenna for mobile communication for direct communication with an external smart phone.
본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV는 상기 제1 안테나 및 제2 안테나를 통해 정보를 송수신하도록 하기 위한 무선통신모듈을 포함할 수 있다. 상기 무선통신모듈은 WiFi 용 무선통신모듈 및 이동통신용 무선통신모듈을 포함할 수 있다. 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV는 3G, 4G, LTE, 5G 등의 이동통신용 무선통신모듈을 포함할 수 있다. 이 때, 상기 제2 안테나(272)는 상기 이동통신용 무선통신 모듈을 이용하여 해당 CCTV와 사용자의 스마트폰을 직접 연결하도록 할 수 있다. 상기 제2 안테나는 이와 같이 CCTV와 스마트폰 사이에 직접 이동통신용 무선통신이 가능하도록 할 수 있다. 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV 에는 스피커 및 마이크를 더 포함할 수 있고, 이러한 스피커 및 마이크를 통해 관리자의 스마트폰과 상기 CCTV 근처에 있는 사람 사이에 통화가 가능하다. The wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment may include a wireless communication module for transmitting and receiving information through the first antenna and the second antenna. The wireless communication module may include a wireless communication module for WiFi and a wireless communication module for mobile communication. The wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment may include a wireless communication module for mobile communication such as 3G, 4G, LTE, and 5G. At this time, the second antenna 272 can directly connect the CCTV and the user's smartphone using the wireless communication module for mobile communication. The second antenna can enable direct wireless communication for mobile communication between the CCTV and the smart phone in this way. The wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment may further include a speaker and a microphone, and a call can be made between a manager's smartphone and a person near the CCTV through the speaker and the microphone.
상기 마이크로 컨트롤러(MCU, 280)는, 상기 전원 공급부에 연결되는 각부의 작동을 제어할 수 있다. 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV 에 설치되는 각 구성요소들은 최소의 전류로 작동할 수 있도록 회로구성을 설계할 수 있다. 따라서, 상기 마이크로 컨트롤러는 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV 의 각 구성에 대해 최소의 전류만을 공급하도록 전원 공급부에서 각 부로 공급되는 전류를 제어할 수 있다. The microcontroller (MCU) 280 may control the operation of each part connected to the power supply unit. The circuit configuration can be designed so that each component installed in the wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment can operate with a minimum current. Therefore, the microcontroller can control the current supplied from the power supply unit to each unit so as to supply only the minimum current to each component of the wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment.
또한, 상기 MCU(280)는, 상기 PIR 센서(260)에 움직임이 감지되면, 기설정된 시간만큼 상기 카메라 모듈(220)을 작동시켜 촬영 및 녹화를 진행할 수 있다. PIR 센서에 일정시간동안 움직임이 감지되지 않으면 MCU는 상기 카메라 모듈을 슬립(sleep) 모드로 전환하고, 기타 구성요소의 전력 소모를 최소화할 수 있다. 상기 PIR 센서에서 움직임이 감지되면, 상기 카메라 모듈을 작동시켜 촬영 및 녹화를 진행할 수 있다. 이 때에서도, 수초 정도의 설정된 시간만큼만 카메라 모듈이 작동하도록 제어할 수 있다. In addition, when motion is detected by the PIR sensor 260, the MCU 280 may operate the camera module 220 for a preset time to perform photographing and recording. When motion is not detected by the PIR sensor for a certain period of time, the MCU may switch the camera module to a sleep mode and minimize power consumption of other components. When motion is detected by the PIR sensor, photographing and recording may be performed by operating the camera module. Even at this time, the camera module can be controlled to operate only for a set time of several seconds.
상기 MCU(280)는 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV 의 전반적인 작동을 제어할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 상기 PIR 센서에 움직임이 감지되면, 상기 제2 안테나(272)를 통해 외부의 스마트폰으로 알람신호를 전송할 수 있다. 또한, PIR 센서에 움직임 감지가 없더라도, 외부의 스마트폰으로부터 기설정된 신호가 수신되면, MCU 는 상기 카메라의 촬영 및 녹화를 진행하거나 상기 CCTV에서 촬영된 영상 정보를 스마트폰으로 전송하도록 할 수 있다. The MCU 280 may control the overall operation of the wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment. For example, when motion is detected by the PIR sensor, an alarm signal may be transmitted to an external smart phone through the second antenna 272 . In addition, even if there is no motion detection in the PIR sensor, when a predetermined signal is received from an external smartphone, the MCU can perform shooting and recording of the camera or transmit image information captured by the CCTV to the smartphone.
상기 경고 조명등(290)은 상기 하우징(210)의 전면에 배치되며, 상기 PIR 센서에서 움직임이 감지되면 상기 경고 조명등(290) 기설정된 패턴으로 점등될 수 있다. 상기 경고 조명등(290)은 LED 가 사용될 수 있다. 예를 들어, 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV를 쓰레기 무단투기 금지 지역에 설치한 경우, 누군가가 쓰레기를 무단 투기하기 위해 나타나면 PIR 센서가 움직임을 감지하고 상기 경고 조명등(290)을 점등시켜 무단 투기를 억제할 수 있다. 이러한 경고 조치는 음성을 이용할 수도 있으나, 주택가에서는 음성경고로 인한 민원이 발생될 수 있으므로 이러한 경고 조명에 의해 소기의 목적을 달성할 수 있다. The warning lights 290 are disposed on the front of the housing 210, and when motion is detected by the PIR sensor, the warning lights 290 may be turned on in a predetermined pattern. As the warning light 290, an LED may be used. For example, when the wireless solar CCTV according to the present embodiment is installed in an area where illegal dumping of garbage is prohibited, the PIR sensor detects the movement and turns on the warning lamp 290 when someone appears to dump garbage without permission. You can suppress speculation. Such warning measures may use voice, but since civil complaints may occur due to voice warning in residential areas, the intended purpose can be achieved by such warning lighting.
도 3은, 본 발명의 또 다른 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV의 구조도이다. 3 is a structural diagram of a wireless solar CCTV according to another embodiment of the present invention.
도 3을 참조하면, 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV(300)는 하우징(310), 카메라 모듈(320), 태양광 충전모듈(330), 배터리(340), 전원 공급부(350), PIR 센서(360), 제1 안테나(371), 제2 안테나(372), 마이크로컨트롤러(380), 경고조명등(390)을 포함할 수 있다. 본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV(300)는 도 2의 실시형태와 비교하여 태양광 충전모듈(330)부분에 차이가 있으므로 이 부분을 중심으로 설명하겠다. 다른 구성요소들의 특징은 도 2의 실시형태와 동일할 수 있으므로 구체적인 구성에 대한 설명은 생략하고, 작동 프로세스 위주로 설명하겠다. Referring to FIG. 3, the wireless solar CCTV 300 according to the present embodiment includes a housing 310, a camera module 320, a solar charging module 330, a battery 340, a power supply unit 350, and a PIR. A sensor 360, a first antenna 371, a second antenna 372, a microcontroller 380, and a warning light 390 may be included. Since the wireless solar CCTV 300 according to this embodiment has a difference in the solar charging module 330 compared to the embodiment of FIG. 2, this part will be mainly described. Since characteristics of other components may be the same as those of the embodiment of FIG. 2 , detailed descriptions of configurations will be omitted and operation processes will be mainly described.
본 실시형태에서, 상기 태양광 충전모듈(330)은 하우징(310)의 상부면에 형성될 수 있다. 상기 태양광 충전모듈(330)은, 태양 에너지를 전기 에너지로 변환할 목적으로 제작된 태양광 전지일 수 있다. 본 실시형태에서 상기 태양광 충전 모듈(330)은 패널타입으로 상기 하우징의 상부면에 부착될 수 있으며, 상기 태양광 충전 모듈과 하우징의 상부면이 이루는 각도가 조절될 수 있다. 본 실시형태에서는, 상기 태양광 충전 모듈(330)의 하부면과 상기 하우징(310)의 상부면에 관절구조의 연결부(335)를 형성하여 상기 태양광 충전 모듈(330)을 다양한 각도로 위치시킬 수 있다. 이렇게 태양광 충전모듈(330)이 하우징의 상부면과 이루는 각도가 조절될 수 있도록 구현함으로써, 상기 무선 태양광 CCTV 의 설치방향에 구애받지 않고 태양광 충전 효율을 높일 수 있다. 즉, 태양광을 가장 잘 받을 수 있는 방향으로 상기 태양광 충전모듈(330)의 각도를 조절할 수 있으므로, 태양광 충전 모듈(330)에 의해 충전되는 충전량을 최대화할 수 있다. 상기 태양광 충전모듈(330)과 하우징(310)을 연결하는 연결부(335)는 다양한 형태로 구현될 수 있다.In this embodiment, the solar charging module 330 may be formed on an upper surface of the housing 310 . The solar charging module 330 may be a solar cell manufactured for the purpose of converting solar energy into electrical energy. In this embodiment, the solar charging module 330 may be attached to the upper surface of the housing in a panel type, and an angle between the solar charging module and the upper surface of the housing may be adjusted. In this embodiment, the joint structure connection portion 335 is formed on the lower surface of the solar charging module 330 and the upper surface of the housing 310 to position the solar charging module 330 at various angles. can In this way, by implementing such that the angle formed by the solar charging module 330 and the upper surface of the housing can be adjusted, the solar charging efficiency can be increased regardless of the installation direction of the wireless solar CCTV. That is, since the angle of the solar charging module 330 can be adjusted in a direction in which sunlight can be best received, the amount of charge charged by the solar charging module 330 can be maximized. The connection part 335 connecting the solar charging module 330 and the housing 310 may be implemented in various forms.
본 실시형태에 따른 무선 태양광 CCTV(300)는 유선작업 없이 CCTV 만을 독립적으로 설치 운영할 수 있다. 상기 무선 태양광 CCTV(300)를 설치시 상기 태양광 충전모듈(330)의 각도를 조절하여 태양광 충전모듈(330)이 하루동안 태양광을 잘 받을 수 있도록 배치할 수 있다. The wireless solar CCTV (300) according to the present embodiment can independently install and operate only the CCTV without wired work. When the wireless solar CCTV 300 is installed, the angle of the solar charging module 330 may be adjusted so that the solar charging module 330 can receive sunlight well during the day.
이렇게 설치된 무선 태양광 CCTV(300)는 상기 태양광 충전모듈(330)을 통해 태양광을 받아 빛 에너지를 전기 에너지로 변환 시킬 수 있다. 이렇게 변환된 전기 에너지는 상기 하우징 내에 배치되는 배터리(340)에 충전될 수 있다. 별도의 동작신호가 외부에서 수신되거나, PIR 센서에 움직임이 감지되기 전에는 마이크로 컨트롤러(380)는 상기 무선 태양광 CCTV 를 슬립모드로 운영할 수 있다. 슬립모드에서는 CCTV 내부의 전기 소모를 최소화시킴으로서 별도의 외부전원 인가 없이 상기 태양광 충전모듈에 의해 충전되는 전기만으로 상기 CCTV를 작동하도록 할 수 있다. The wireless solar CCTV 300 installed in this way can receive sunlight through the solar charging module 330 and convert light energy into electrical energy. The electrical energy converted in this way may be charged in the battery 340 disposed in the housing. Before a separate operation signal is received from the outside or motion is detected by the PIR sensor, the microcontroller 380 may operate the wireless solar CCTV in a sleep mode. In the sleep mode, electricity consumption inside the CCTV is minimized, so that the CCTV can be operated only with the electricity charged by the solar charging module without applying a separate external power source.
상기 PIR센서(360)에 움직임이 감지되면, 상기 마이크로 컨트롤러(380)는 상기 카메라 모듈(320)을 작동시켜 일정시간동안 녹화를 실시할 수 있다. 이 때, 상기 카메라 모듈(320)의 녹화 지속시간은 수 초 정도로 설정될 수 있다. 따라서, 지속적인 움직임이 없다면 한번의 움직임 감지에 따라 수 초 정도의 영상이 녹화되고 상기 카메라 모듈은 다시 슬립모드로 전환될 수 있다. When motion is detected by the PIR sensor 360, the microcontroller 380 may operate the camera module 320 to record for a predetermined period of time. At this time, the recording duration of the camera module 320 may be set to several seconds. Therefore, if there is no continuous motion, an image of several seconds is recorded according to one motion detection, and the camera module can be switched to the sleep mode again.
상기 PIR 센서(360)에 움직임이 감지되면, 상기 마이크로컨트롤러(380)는 상기 경고 조명등(390)을 점등시킬 수 있다. 상기 경고 조명등(390)이 점등되면, 카메라 앞을 지나는 사람은 카메라에 의한 녹화가 진행됨을 인식할 수 있어서 무단 쓰레기 투기 등을 방지할 수 있다. 또한, 상기 경고 조명등(390)은 조명으로서 역할을 할 수 있어, 야간에 카메라 모듈의 녹화시 화질을 좋게 할 수 있다. When motion is detected by the PIR sensor 360, the microcontroller 380 may turn on the warning light 390.
