Definitions
- the invention relates to monitoring an installation such as a home or business premises. It is known to have in a facility a monitoring device such as a central alarm, which can detect the occurrence of an abnormal situation and inform a remotely monitoring center located at a distance. This abnormal situation is for example an intrusion into the installation.
- the device comprises for this purpose at least one camera whose field of vision covers at least a significant part of the surface of the installation. If it is a home, the camera covers at least one room or a place of passage from the home.
- An object of the invention is to improve in this regard the integration of surveillance systems in the facilities, whether for homes or business premises by facilitating the acceptance of these systems by the occupants.
- a device for monitoring an installation comprising means capable of controlling an indication, intended for an environment of a camera, that the camera passes from a state in which it is not able to collect images in a state in which it is able to collect or even collect, and vice versa, so that the indication takes place in at least one of two forms:
- the occupants of the installation are informed of the change of state of the camera and therefore know immediately when it goes into the state where it is able to film. Likewise, they are informed immediately when this state ends. Thanks to this information given to the occupants, the suspicion with regard to the camera can disappear.
- the audible warning allows occupants to be informed of this change of state even if they do not look at the camera at the time of this change. Depending on the volume chosen for this sound signal, they may even be warned when they are in a room next to the room in which the camera is located.
- the movement of the shutter is perceived as particularly reassuring. Indeed, when the shutter is closed, the occupant has the concrete proof and therefore the certainty that no image of him can be collected by the camera. This is a particularly credible warning mode for the occupier and therefore very convincing.
- the information in this regard remains available after the change of state. Indeed, depending on the position occupied by the shutter, open or closed, it is during all the state in question that the occupant can know if the camera can collect images of him or not. He can therefore at any time by looking at the camera to determine if it is active or inactive.
- the invention therefore improves the integration of the alarm system within the installations, whether for homes or business premises.
- control means are able to control the indication both in the form of the shutter movement and in the form of the sound signal.
- the device gives the occupants the best chance of being informed of the change of state of the camera. Whether the occupants are in the direct vicinity or not of the camera, whether they are watching it or not, they can at any time be informed of the active or inactive state that is theirs.
- control means are able to control the indication in the form of different sound signals depending on whether the camera goes from the state in which it is not able to collect images to the state in which it is able to collect, or vice versa.
- the occupant can easily identify and distinguish the transition to the active state and the transition to the inactive state.
- he recognizes the sound signal the transition to the inactive state without confusing it with the transition to the active state.
- the camera comprises the control means.
- the camera comprises means for transmitting the sound signal.
- the device comprises several cameras and the control means are able to control the indication by means of different sound signals for the respective cameras.
- the occupant will be able to identify, according to the audible signal, that of the cameras which has changed state, by recognizing the sound signal associated with it.
- the invention also provides a method for monitoring an installation in which an indication is sent to an environment of a camera that the camera is moving from a state in which it is not able to to collect images in a state in which it is able to collect or even collect, and vice versa, so that the indication takes place in at least one of two forms:
- the invention also provides a program comprising instructions for the implementation of this method, a data recording medium comprising in recorded form such a program and finally a provision of such a program on a network of telecommunication for download.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a remote monitoring system comprising a device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of one of the cameras forming part of the system of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the camera of FIG.
- the remote monitoring system 2 comprises a monitoring device 4 and a central monitoring station 6.
- the device 4 is located in a facility or site to monitor. In this case it is a dwelling 8 but it could be a place for professional use. More generally, the installation is a predetermined space to be monitored. The device could also be located near the facility without being inside the facility.
- the installation 8 comprises in this case four pieces 11, this number may naturally vary. -AT-
- the device 4 comprises a housing 10 containing conventional computer means such as a central unit, a screen, a keyboard and a memory possibly in the form of a hard disk or a flash memory. This housing forms a central alarm.
- the device 4 also comprises one or more organs for detecting movement and / or viewing different areas of the installation. These cameras are five in this case in house 8. We can vary this number, the device can include at least one camera.
- the device here comprises a camera 12 per piece except in the lower right room where two cameras are present.
- the cameras 12 operate in the visible radiation or in the infrared radiation. In this case, in each room where there is a single camera the camera operates in the visible. In the room with two cameras, one works in the visible and the other operates in the infrared. It may be more generally provided that the device comprises one or more cameras operating in the visible and / or one or more cameras operating in the infrared.
- Each camera operating in the visible is able to transmit to the central 10 an image of its field of vision.
- the or each camera operating in the infrared is able to detect a sudden change of radiation in its field of vision, to transmit to the central 10 radiation data in its field of vision and / or on this change, or to locate where does this change of radiation come from?
- Each of the cameras 12 is able to transmit to the central 10 the data that it collects as well. This transmission is done in the present example by means of a wireless radio link but it can be provided on the contrary that the transmission takes place in a wired mode.
- the central unit 10 comprises means for processing the signals thus received and for drawing a diagnosis of the situation relating to the installation. It will thus be able to determine if the situation is normal or if on the contrary it is abnormal. If for example an intruder has entered the facility and its presence is detected by at least one of the cameras, this presence is qualified by the central abnormal situation.
- the central unit 10 then informs the center 6.
- the device 4 comprises a residential gateway 14 connected to the central unit 10 and able to pass communications from the latter to a telecommunications network 20 such as the Internet.
- This communication is done in this case by means of telephone calls transiting at least in part via the Internet.
- the central unit 10 includes for this purpose conventional means known in themselves for transmitting and receiving such communications.
- the device 4 is automated and operates without the intervention of an operator or a resident of the installation. The latter may, however, if he wishes, intervene on the device, for example by means of the keyboard and by obtaining information on the screen. It can decide to disable the device, for example when it arrives in the facility or activate it if it leaves.
- the center 6 is located at a distance and even most often at a great distance from the device 4, for example at least 1 km or even several kilometers. Like the device 4, the center 6 is automated. However, in this case, a person such as an operator, has the role of monitoring its proper functioning and deal with an abnormal situation, if it occurs, for example by triggering an alert.
- the center 6 also includes computer processing means and in particular one or more computers. In general, the same center 6 will be associated via the network 20 to several devices of the device type 4, for example several tens or hundreds.
- the center 6 is capable of transmitting or receiving telephone calls transiting via the network 20.
- the center is able, for example at the request of the operator, to receive data coming from the device 4, for example images from the cameras 12. Cameras 12 will now be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
- Each camera comprises a body 22 and a lens 24 fixed to the body and comprising at least one lens.
- the camera comprises a shutter 26 having a cover 28 and an unillustrated shutter mechanism adapted to change the position or configuration of the cover to move it from the open position to the closed position and vice versa.
- the cover clears the lens and allows the camera to collect images in its field of view.
- the cover covers the lens 24 and prevents the camera from collecting such images.
- Each camera 12 further comprises means for transmitting a predetermined sound. These means comprise in this case a buzzer 30. It could be alternately a speaker.
- the camera finally comprises computerized and automated control means 34 able to control the shutter 26 and the buzzer 30.
- Each camera 12 may alternatively present a state that we will describe as inactive in which it is not able to collect images and an active state in which it is instead able to collect images. We will be able to even agree that in such a state she actually collects images and thus films what is unfolding in her field of vision. Indeed, one can imagine that in the active state, the camera is ready to film but does not necessarily: it expects for example for this purpose an order of the central 10 or center 6. On the contrary, it can be provided that the camera films during the entire period during which it is in the active state. Thus, depending on the configuration that will be given to the device 4, it can be provided that the active state of each camera corresponds to a situation in which the camera is able to collect images but does not necessarily collect at each moment or not at all. Conversely, it can be provided that the active state is a state in which the camera continuously collects images.
- the control means 34 of this camera control both the buzzer 30 and the shutter 26.
- the audible signal of the buzzer has an intensity of, for example, between 10 and 30 dB and preferably 20 dB. It is perceptible by the occupant (s) 36 of the installation who are in the immediate vicinity of the camera concerned.
- the term "camera environment” means an area centered on the latter and having for example a maximum radius from the camera of between 1 m and 20 m. The occupants are thus informed of the change of state by the audible signal. Similarly, the opening of the shutter 26 causes the movement of the cover 28.
- the control means similarly control the buzzer 30 and the shutter 26 for the emission of a sound signal and this time the shutter of the lens .
- This sound signal will preferably be different from the sound signal emitted during the transition to the active state.
- each of the cameras 12 is arranged so that it is able to emit sound signals different from those of the other cameras of the device.
- Each of the occupants of the installation 8 can therefore detect, by recognizing these sound signals, which are always the same for each camera, which camera has changed state.
- each of the cameras is also provided with a lighting device 38 on its front face, comprising for example a light emitting diode or LED. This LED is lit while the camera is in the active state and off when the camera is in the idle state.
- each camera transmits for the whole time it remains in the active state a sound signal (which may be periodic, for example in the form of a "beep-beep") having for example a reduced intensity compared to the signal that is emitted during a change of state.
- a sound signal (which may be periodic, for example in the form of a "beep-beep") having for example a reduced intensity compared to the signal that is emitted during a change of state.
- the permanent transmission of this sound signal allows the occupants located in the immediate vicinity of the camera to know that it is active.
- the device 4 is arranged to allow remote viewing on a video camera 40 by means of one of the cameras 12 what happens in the field of view of this camera.
- This device 40 will be for example a mobile phone, a PDA or a laptop.
- This preference feature will only be available to someone with rights to the installation to monitor. For example, an officer or employee of the company having its premises in the monitored facility, or in the case of a home of one of the family members.
- This monitoring is done by placing the device 40 in communication with an antenna 42 connected to the network 20 (directly or indirectly via another telecommunications network) antenna which is thus placed in communication with the central unit 10.
- a father away from home may momentarily observe other family members at home and make sure the situation is in order.
- the occupants of the home will be notified by the means described above, when each camera goes into the active state, they are filmed or likely to be.
- the method according to the invention can be implemented by means of instructions from computer programs recorded on a data recording medium, for example of the flash, CD or DVD type. It may be provided to make such a program available for download on a telecommunications network such as the Internet or a wireless network. Program updates can thus be sent by this network to the central stations 10 and the cameras 12.
- a data recording medium for example of the flash, CD or DVD type. It may be provided to make such a program available for download on a telecommunications network such as the Internet or a wireless network. Program updates can thus be sent by this network to the central stations 10 and the cameras 12.
- the invention is applicable to methods and devices for monitoring dependent and / or reduced-autonomy persons such as the elderly or disabled.
- control means are able to control the indication only in the form of a movement of the shutter capable of covering the lens of the camera, and not in the form of a sound signal. Conversely, it can be provided that the control means are able to control the indication only in the form of the sound signal, without a shutter movement.
- control of the emission of the audible signal and the shutter of the camera is done by the central 10 and not by the control means of the camera itself.
