The invention provides an elevator running safety monitoring system. The system comprises a monitoring sensor, a data collection terminal, a video monitoring device and a power module; the monitoringsensor is connected with the data collection terminal, the monitoring sensor is used for detecting and monitoring the elevator running state, the data collection terminal is used for storing elevatorrunning state monitoring data formed through treatment of the elevator running state, the video monitoring device is connected with a video displayer, the video monitoring device is used for shootingvideos in the elevator and carrying out storing, the power module supplies power to the monitoring sensor, the data collection terminal and the video monitoring device, the power module comprises an alternating current power supply device and a standby battery, and the power module enables the standby battery to supply power when the alternating current power supply device fails. Physical isolation or optocoupler isolation of the system and an elevator running and control system can be achieved, elevator monitoring data and a video cloud end in a car are shared, the influence on the elevator running and control system is reduced, and flexible and reliable monitoring in multiple aspects and places is facilitated.
