Monitoring system

Abstract

The invention provides a monitoring system equipped with imaging devices for imaging a monitoring region. Each of the imaging devices has storage device for storing image information. A unique identification number (ID) for identifying a picked-up image is assigned to each of the imaging devices. The picked-up image is retrieved, together with the associated ID, from the storage device by detaching the storage device or accessing the storage device in a non-contact manner.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a monitoring system for monitoring city safety. Background technique [0002] An example of a security camera system for improving urban security is described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-298260. In this publication, a plurality of security devices including lighting lamps, emergency call switches, and emergency alarm equipment including security cameras are connected by a network. Thereby, incidents caused by hooligans or stalkers can be detected early and prevented. [0003] Another example of a security camera system for securing urban security is described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2003-109155. In this communiqué, a wide area is monitored while reducing the labor required for monitoring in a monitoring area. Moreover, when a crime occurs, it receives a transmission from a human-operated transmission device, performs image processing on the time-series image group of the s...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the defense systems described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-298260 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-109155 , although the security camera is used, the sending device and the image processing unit specify the suspect to contribute to the initial investigation, but the security camera device Large by itself and requires significant expense in terms of setup

In addition, since a network connection is necessary to report the operation information of the transmitting device, and a monitor device for checking the event status is required, the overall system is very large, and the cost such as installation engineering costs and management costs is high

[0005] If the cost is reduced, the number of installations of security cameras will be limited, and the surveillance area will be limited, resulting in increased blind spots in the surveillance area.

In addition, since it is connected to a monitor device, it gives pedestrians an unpleasant feeling that they are always being watched

Once the security camera is set up, it is not easy to move, and it cannot adapt to changes in the surrounding environment
