Surveillance system and service method using cloud service. {THE MONITORING SYSTEM USED TO THE CLOUD SERVICE, AND ITS SERVICE METHOD}

The present invention relates to CCTV (IP camera) video recording using a cloud service, by using a CCTV (IP camera) and cloud computing technology to connect to the storage server wirelessly without restriction of the installation and construction conditions of the storage device in real time video It is possible to record, and through the smart device equipped with the observation application (Veiwing Application) that can check this, it is to be able to easily check the recorded video without restriction on space and movement.

In general, a monitoring system is a system for the purpose of crime prevention. Usually, one or more cameras are installed in a periphery, and the image compression algorithm is converted into a digital signal by receiving an image captured by the camera and converting the analog signal into a digital signal. It consists of DVR (Digital Video Recorder) compressing or restoring according to H.263, MPEG, MJPEG, and storage for storing it.

Currently, a wireless IP camera is installed in the vicinity for the convenience of system construction, and a router for forming a communication channel with the IP camera, a personal terminal (PC) for establishing a connection thereof, and a transmitted video signal are provided. Wireless surveillance systems, including NVRs (Network Video Recorders) that compress and store them in storage, have also been developed.

However, these wireless surveillance systems have required expensive NVR (Network Video Recorder) as they are connected to the network, and in particular, the storage space is still limited by increasing video data. In addition, due to such a storage limitation, it is required to back up the image data at regular intervals or to require a separate management system.

In addition, when using a wireless IP camera, a number of wireless IP cameras were installed in the vicinity of the surveillance system, and the loss was uneven, causing loss in the middle.

In this case, the terminal may take a load because the terminal acquires image data photographed by a plurality of cameras and transmits the image data to a base station, and thus, a wireless communication module (LTE / WiMAX / 3G / WiFi) capable of accessing a high-speed wireless network. By using the module, we solved the limitations of existing wired network construction cost and storage server space.

In addition, a network video server (NVS) provides a storage space for each subscriber, and at this time, a NVR (Nerwork Video Recorder) which compresses or restores the transmitted video data according to H.263, MPEG, and MJPEG. It includes storage for storing it.

In addition, the network video server (NVS) is connected to a cloud service server that provides infrastructure as a service (IaaS) or software as a service (SaaS). Verify your identity and provide storage for each subscriber.

In other words, the Network Video Server (NVS) shares an expensive resource of NVR (Nerwork Video Recorder) with storage, which is an effective resource, to overcome the limitation of storage capacity and to easily rescue the surveillance system. will be.

In addition, the network video server (NVS) provides a viewing application (Veiwing Application) to access the network video server through a smart device installed with the observation application data stored in the allocated space Service to confirm.

In addition, the smart device receives and installs a viewing application provided by a service provider, and attempts to connect to the network video server based on uniform resource locator (URL) information during operation. In addition, based on the identification information transmitted together with the identification process, it supports to check the image data stored in the allocated storage (Storage).

At this time, the smart device can check the list that is compressed and stored by date through the observation application as shown in the screen shown in FIG. 3, and when selecting a specific item from the list, the corresponding device is loaded and PLAYBACK. .

In the case where there are several cameras arranged, all images captured by each camera are simultaneously displayed on the screen, and they are simultaneously played back in accordance with the time sync. In addition, when a particular image is selected from among a plurality of images, only the corresponding image may be enlarged and reproduced.

In this case, the smart device is a device for checking the image data stored in the allocated space, but is also a management device that performs a role such as deleting or backing up the old image data stored in the allocated space. In addition, the smart device is a payment means for paying a fee to a service provider while renting an allocated storage space.

In addition, according to an embodiment, such a smart device obtains HD real-time video using a camera of the smart device and wirelessly transmits it to an LTE / WiMAX / 3G / WiFi BS (base station), and the LTE / WiMAX / 3G / WiFi BS is an outdoor network. Data can be sent to the network video server connected to the wired network and stored in the allocated storage space.

At this time, the smart device logs into the NVS using a dedicated application such as a smartphone, a tablet PC, a smart TV, a laptop, a PC, and plays back the recorded video.

Figure 4 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration and flow briefly according to an embodiment of the present invention, CCTV (IP Camera) is built around the customer's workplace or house as shown. At this time, CCTV (IP Camera) is a surveillance system including one or more cameras and terminals.

The CCTV (IP Camera) secures a large amount of CCTV HD live video and transmits data wirelessly to the LTE / WiMAX / 3G / WiFi BS, and the LTE / WiMAX / 3G / WiFi BS is wired to an outdoor network. Send DATA to the network video server.

The network video server compresses the received data according to H.263, MPEG, MJPEG using NVR (Network Video Recorder), and stores the data in the allocated storage space of the subscriber.

At this time, the customer downloads and installs the observation application through his / her own smart device, accesses the network video server through the observation application, checks the data stored in the allocated area, and can playback. Will be.

In addition, the smart device can secure HD real-time video by using a camera, and upload the wirelessly secured video to LTE / WiMAX / 3G / WiFi BS by UP Loading through an observation application, and LTE / WiMAX / 3G / WiFi. The BS may store the video data in an allocated storage space by transmitting the video data to an NVS connected to an outdoor network.

Therefore, the present invention can easily establish a surveillance system for individuals, in particular to overcome the capacity limitation of the storage device, can easily check the recorded video without limitation of space and movement, and to establish a separate management system It was characterized as not needed.

Hereinafter, the operation of the monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
