The invention is applicable to the technical field of large area fire prevention monitoring, and discloses a forest fire prevention monitoring system. The system comprises at least one front-end videoacquisition system, a wireless transmission system, a cloud server, and a power supply system, wherein the power supply system provides power for the wireless transmission system and the front-end video acquisition systems, the video images collected by each front-end video acquisition system are transmitted to the cloud server in real time through the wireless transmission system, a router, anda public network. When in surveillance, video images in the monitoring field are collected in real time by the front-end video acquisition systems and forwarded by the wireless transmission system tothe cloud server for processing. The forest fire prevention monitoring system has the advantages that the multiple front-end video acquisition systems have a wide monitoring range and can concentrateall the videos in the monitored area, the client-side can be a mobile phone application or a web client-side which allows a user to check the information in real time, inquire the historical data, push an alarm, record and analyze the fire behavior and the like, thereby improving the effectiveness and efficiency of monitoring.
