Method to update monitoring front end of video monitoring system

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for upgrading the monitoring front end of a video monitoring system. By building a network management protocol module in the monitoring front end, the protocol module is consistent with the protocol of the network management server. When the monitoring front end is powered on and started, the built-in protocol module registers with the network management server For the front-end information, if the monitoring front-end registration is successful or has been registered before, the network management server will make different upgrade strategies according to the information carried by the monitoring front-end registration, and the network management server will find the corresponding monitoring front-end according to the corresponding strategy, and issue a unified resource Locator (URL) message, the monitoring front end receives the message and makes a judgment, if it needs to be upgraded, it is linked to the upgrade server to download the upgrade package according to the URL message and upgrades. By adopting the method to upgrade the monitoring front end in batches, the maintenance cost of the monitoring front end is greatly reduced, and the upgrading process becomes fast and effective.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to video monitoring technology, in particular to a method for upgrading a monitoring front end of a video monitoring system. Background technique [0002] The market demand for video surveillance systems is strong, so it has developed rapidly. At present, telecom operators and equipment suppliers have invested manpower and material resources to vigorously promote video surveillance systems. The application field of video surveillance system is very extensive. The most widely distributed and largest number of equipment in the video surveillance system is the monitoring front end. Its main function is to collect and encode video signals through the camera, and then send the encoded video signal information to the video surveillance system. The platform or client can also perform video recording and other services according to the configuration, and it is also one of the most important devices in the video surveillance system. [00...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

If the upgrade of the monitoring front-end needs to be maintained at each monitoring point or individually one by one, the workload will be very large, and the monitoring front-end is usually running for a long time and collecting and sending video signals for a long time. Manual triggering by managers is also required

[0004] The existing monitoring front-end upgrade method is usually a built-in web server (webserver) or links to the monitoring front-end through tools, and managers can trigger the upgrade by logging in to the built-in web page of the monitoring front-end or using tools. The disadvantage of this upgrade method is that it needs Upgrade the monitoring front-end one by one, so the workload of upgrading is too large

There are also monitoring front-ends that use power-on to automatically link to the upgrade server for upgrades during upgrades or link to the upgrade server at intervals for upgrades during operation. Although this upgrade method can keep the monitoring front-end running for a long time without frequent power on and off, However, since the monitoring front-end still needs to continuously collect, encode and send video signals during its operation, the normal business may be affected during the upgrade process.
