[0002] With the development of internet technology, video surveillance technology has emerged and is widely used in fields such as security, management, and transportation to monitor and record on-site situations in real time.

[0008] If the return data packet carrying the target identifier is not received at the first port, a second data packet carrying the target address information is sent to the camera. If the return data packet sent by the camera based on the target address information is received, the intercom mode matched by the camera is determined to be the second intercom mode.

[0031] The intercom module is used to send audio data packaged with a target communication protocol to the camera based on the intercom mode matched by the camera, so that the camera receives the audio data and plays the voice corresponding to the audio data.

[0032] Thirdly, this application also provides a computer device, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the processor executes the computer program to perform the following steps:

[0033] When a camera is connected to a target platform, the server corresponding to the target platform sends a first data packet carrying a target identifier to the camera.

[0034] If a return data packet carrying the target identifier is received through the first port, it is determined that the intercom mode matched by the camera is the first intercom mode, and the first intercom mode communicates with the camera through the first port;

[0035] If the return data packet carrying the target identifier is not received at the first port, a second data packet carrying the target address information is sent to the camera. If the return data packet sent by the camera based on the target address information is received, the intercom mode matched by the camera is determined to be the second intercom mode. The second intercom mode communicates with the camera through the second port.

If a return data packet sent by the camera based on the target address information is received, the intercom mode matched by the camera is determined to be the second intercom mode. In this way, after the camera is connected to the target platform, it attempts to determine which of the two intercom modes the camera supports. Compared to obtaining detailed information about the camera for complex adaptation and configuration of each camera, this simplifies the configuration process required for the camera to connect to the target platform and enables adaptation of intercom modes for cameras with different sound fields from different manufacturers.

[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0058] The camera voice intercom method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example... Figure 1In the application environment shown, terminal 102 communicates with server 104 via a network. A data storage system can store data that server 104 needs to process. The data storage system can be integrated onto server 104 or placed on a cloud or other network server. The terminal and server constitute the target platform. The target platform can connect to multiple cameras 106 for unified management. When a camera 106 connects to the target platform, the server 104 corresponding to the target platform sends a first data packet carrying a target identifier to the camera 106. If a return data packet carrying the target identifier is received through the first port, the intercom mode matched by camera 106 is determined to be the first intercom mode. If no return data packet carrying the target identifier is received on the first port, a second data packet carrying target address information is sent to camera 106. If a return data packet based on the target address information is received from camera 106, the intercom mode matched by camera 106 is determined to be the second intercom mode. After determining the intercom mode corresponding to camera 106, server 104 can send audio data packaged with the target communication protocol to camera 106 based on the intercom mode matched to camera 106, so that camera 106 can receive the audio data and play the corresponding voice. Terminal 102 can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Server 104 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing cloud computing services.

[0059] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a voice intercom method for a camera is provided, which can be applied to... Figure 1 Taking the server in the example, the explanation includes the following steps 202 to 208. Wherein:

[0060] Step 202: When the camera is connected to the target platform, the server corresponding to the target platform sends a first data packet carrying the target identifier to the camera.

[0061] The target platform is used for unified management of multiple cameras. It enables functions such as live streaming, cloud recording, and two-way communication between the cameras. For cameras connected to the network, communication (e.g., data transmission) typically requires knowing the camera's network address, such as its IP address and port number. Therefore, when a camera connects to the target platform, the server can attempt to send data packets to the network. If a response data packet from the camera is received, parsing the response packet reveals the camera's address. Furthermore, receiving a response data packet from the camera indicates the transmission protocol used by the server to send data to the camera, and the camera also supports this protocol. Therefore, audio data can then be sent to the previously parsed address using this transmission protocol, enabling two-way voice communication between the target platform and the camera.

[0062] The server supports two intercom modes: a first intercom mode and a second intercom mode. The first intercom mode is based on the target identifier, while the second intercom mode is based on the target address information.

[0063] In the first intercom mode, the server sends a first data packet carrying a target identifier to the camera. If the camera supports the first intercom mode, it will send a response data packet to the server after receiving the first data packet. This response data packet carries the target identifier and the camera's address information. Therefore, upon receiving this response data packet, the server can determine the camera's address information. The server can then communicate with the camera using the first intercom mode and the camera's address information.

[0064] In the second intercom mode, the server sends a second data packet carrying the target address information to the camera. Since the target address information is the server's address information, the camera, upon receiving the target address information, can send a data packet to the server based on the target address information, thereby establishing a communication connection with the server. The server can then communicate with the camera through this established connection.

[0065] For example, when a camera is connected to the target platform, the server can first attempt to establish a connection with the camera in a first intercom mode. Specifically, the server can send a first data packet carrying a target identifier to the camera. Optionally, the target identifier can be an SSRC (Synchronization Source Identifier). If the camera supports the first intercom mode, the communication data packet between the camera and the server will carry the SSRC. In this way, the server can determine the camera's address information through the SSRC carried in the data packet, thereby enabling intercom communication with the camera.

[0066] Step 204: If a return data packet carrying a target identifier is received through the first port, then the intercom mode matched by the camera is determined to be the first intercom mode.

[0067] In the first intercom mode, communication with the camera is achieved through the first port.

[0068] In some embodiments, the server may include an intercom server. When a camera connects to the target platform, the server generates a target identifier and sends it to both the intercom server and the camera. Optionally, the server may send an Invite request to the camera via the SIP protocol. This Invite request carries the target identifier. After receiving the Invite request, the camera sends a response data packet to the intercom server according to the given target identifier. If the intercom server receives a response data packet carrying the target identifier on its first port, and this target identifier is the aforementioned generated identifier, the intercom server can then communicate with the camera based on the address information parsed from the response data packet.

[0069] Step 206: If no return data packet carrying the target identifier is received at the first port, a second data packet carrying the target address information is sent to the camera. If a return data packet sent by the camera based on the target address information is received, the intercom mode matched by the camera is determined to be the second intercom mode.

[0070] The second intercom mode communicates with the camera via a second port.

[0071] Since not all cameras support the RTP transmission protocol or the target identifier-based intercom mode, a second intercom mode needs to be attempted to communicate with these cameras. Because the second intercom mode uses a common network transmission protocol like TCP, cameras that cannot use the first intercom mode can usually communicate using the second intercom mode.

[0072] In some embodiments, the server can send an Invite request to the camera via the SIP protocol, informing the camera of the intercom server's address information (i.e., the target address information). Upon receiving the Invite request, the camera proactively sends a TCP connection establishment request to the intercom server. After receiving the camera's TCP connection establishment request, the intercom server allocates a dedicated intercom port to the camera. Thus, the intercom server can communicate with the camera through the allocated dedicated intercom port.

[0073] Step 208: Based on the intercom mode matched with the camera, send audio data packaged with the target communication protocol to the camera so that the camera receives the audio data and plays the corresponding voice.

[0074] After the above steps, the server has obtained the camera's address information and the intercom modes supported by the camera. The intercom modes supported by the camera can be stored on the server as the camera's tag information. Subsequently, the server can send audio data packaged with the target communication protocol to the camera based on the intercom mode matched by the camera, so that the camera can receive the audio data and play the corresponding voice.

[0075] The target communication protocol can be the RTP communication protocol. For both intercom modes, the target communication protocol is used to package the audio data. This standardizes the intercom rules, allowing different devices to communicate in a standardized way, thus simplifying voice intercom compatibility issues.

[0076] In the aforementioned voice intercom method for cameras, when a camera connects to a target platform, the server corresponding to the target platform sends a first data packet carrying a target identifier to the camera. If a return data packet carrying a target identifier is received through the first port, the intercom mode matched by the camera is determined to be the first intercom mode. If no return data packet carrying a target identifier is received at the first port, a second data packet carrying target address information is sent to the camera. If a return data packet sent by the camera based on the target address information is received, the intercom mode matched by the camera is determined to be the second intercom mode. In this way, after the camera connects to the target platform, it attempts to determine which of the two intercom modes the camera supports. Compared to obtaining detailed information about the camera for complex adaptation and configuration of each camera, this simplifies the configuration process required for the camera to connect to the target platform and enables adaptation of intercom modes for cameras with different sound fields from different manufacturers. This improves platform compatibility, reduces the possibility of manual intervention and configuration errors, improves the reliability and stability of the target platform, and reduces operation and maintenance costs.

[0077] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, when a camera is connected to a target platform, the steps for the server corresponding to the target platform to send first data carrying a target identifier to the camera include steps 302 to 306. Wherein:

[0078] Step 302: When the camera is connected to the target platform, the server generates a target identifier.

[0079] Step 304: Create a session establishment request packet carrying the target identifier.

[0080] Step 306: Send a session establishment request data packet to the camera via the SIP protocol.

[0081] The target identifier can be a synchronization source identifier. The server can then identify whether a corresponding target identifier exists in the received data packets. If it does, the server can determine that the camera supports the first intercom mode and obtain the camera's address information by parsing the received data packets.

[0082] SIP (Session Initialization Protocol) is a network communication protocol and the foundation of modern interactive communication on the Internet. A session establishment request packet can be, for example, the Invite request packet mentioned above.

[0083] For example, when a camera connects to the target platform, the server generates a target identifier and sends the target identifier to the camera via a session establishment request packet, and also sends the target identifier to the intercom server. Then, the intercom server parses the identifier carried in the received data packet on the first port to determine if it is the target identifier.

[0084] In this embodiment, by generating a target identifier and creating a session establishment request data packet carrying the target identifier, and then sending the session establishment request data packet to the camera via the SIP protocol, the intercom service in the server can determine the camera's address information and supported intercom modes based on the target identifier. This allows the camera to determine its supported voice intercom modes through matching, simplifying the device configuration process.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the steps for sending a second data packet carrying target address information to the camera include:

[0086] Step S402: Create a session establishment request data packet carrying the target address information.

[0087] Step S404: Send a session establishment request data packet to the camera via the SIP protocol.

[0088] Step S406: Receive a TCP connection establishment request data packet from the camera carrying the target address information.

[0089] The target address information can be the server's address information. Optionally, the target address information can be the address information of the intercom server. The second data packet is sent based on the TCP protocol. The second intercom mode can be a TCP connection-based intercom mode. To establish intercom communication between the camera and the server, the server can send a session request packet to the camera via the SIP protocol, wherein the session request packet carries the target address information. After receiving the session request packet, the camera can send a TCP connection request to the intercom server. After receiving the TCP connection request, the intercom server allocates a separate intercom port to communicate with the camera.

[0090] In this embodiment, a session establishment request data packet carrying target address information is created and sent to the camera via the SIP protocol. After the camera receives the session establishment request data packet, the server receives the TCP connection establishment request sent by the camera. In this way, the intercom server can obtain the camera's address information and the information that the camera supports the second intercom mode. This makes it easier for the intercom server to communicate with the camera directly based on the camera's address information and the intercom rules corresponding to the second intercom mode. This simplifies the complex configuration process of the camera, and the camera configuration is completed by selecting the intercom mode that matches the camera from the two intercom modes.

[0091] In some embodiments, after obtaining the camera's address based on a TCP connection establishment request packet, the server allocates a separate target intercom port to the camera to send audio data to the camera's address through the target intercom port. Through these steps, the server can establish reliable intercom communication with the camera, and communicating with the camera through a separate target intercom port also improves the communication efficiency and quality of the camera intercom.

[0092] As mentioned earlier, the server packages the audio data sent to the camera using the target communication protocol. The target communication protocol could be, for example, RTP. The packaging rules can be that the audio payload data corresponds to an integer number of audio encoded frames, and the audio bitstream conforms to the target encoding standard. For example, the duration of the audio payload data could be between 20 and 180 milliseconds. Alternatively, the duration could be 100 milliseconds or 80 milliseconds. By standardizing the format of the transmitted audio data, the communication between the camera and the server can conform to the standard, improving the reliability of the server's voice communication.

[0093] In some embodiments, since different manufacturers configure cameras with different rules for parsing audio data, some format processing of the audio data is required. When matching the intercom mode of the camera, the server can also know the manufacturer of the camera or the device type of the camera. For some device types, the corresponding data packets that can be parsed may be in a first format. For other device types, the corresponding data packets that can be parsed may be in a second format. Since the target communication protocol is the RTP protocol, the first format may include an RTP header. The second format may not include an RTP header. Optionally, the first format also needs to add two bytes of RTP packet length, while the second format does not need to add two bytes of RTP packet length. For example, before sending audio data to the camera, the server first obtains the device type of the camera; determines the data format of the audio data based on the device type; and sends audio data in the data format packaged by the RTP protocol to the camera, so that the camera can play the corresponding voice when it receives the audio data in the data format.

[0094] The data format is selected from either a first format or a second format. This ensures that the audio data is compatible with the camera's data parsing rules, allowing the camera to parse the audio data sent by the server and play the corresponding voice correctly.

[0095] In an exemplary embodiment, the target platform corresponding to the camera's voice intercom method consists of the following parts.

[0096] (1) Video monitoring terminal: responsible for collecting audio data from the client and encrypting it before sending it to the voice intercom gateway.

[0097] (2) Voice intercom gateway: Receives and decrypts audio data, and sends the decrypted audio data to the intercom service.

[0098] (3) Intercom Service: Responsible for processing and distributing audio data. It receives RTP packets from cameras, parses SSRC to find the corresponding intercom device, or receives TCP connections. It finds the matching camera through a fixed port and parses the camera's IP and port information. Based on the parsed camera's IP and port information, it sends audio data to the camera.

[0099] (4) Camera: A third-party manufacturer provides a camera that supports different intercom functions and is responsible for receiving and playing audio data.

[0100] To enable voice communication with the camera, as shown in Figure 5, when the camera connects to the target platform, the server generates a target identifier; creates a session establishment request data packet carrying the target identifier; and sends the session establishment request data packet to the camera via the SIP protocol. If a return data packet carrying the target identifier is received through the first port, it is determined that the intercom mode matched by the camera is the first intercom mode, and the first intercom mode communicates with the camera through the first port. For example, the video surveillance platform initiates an Invite request to the camera via the SIP protocol, carrying a predetermined SSRC. After receiving the Invite request, the camera sends an RTP packet to the intercom service according to the given SSRC. After receiving the RTP packet on its fixed intercom port, the intercom service parses the SSRC in the RTP header. If the parsed SSRC matches a device that has started intercom, it is determined that the camera is matched with the first intercom mode.

[0101] If no return data packet carrying the target identifier is received on the first port, a session establishment request data packet carrying the target address information is created (see Figure 6). The session establishment request data packet is sent to the camera via the SIP protocol. If a TCP connection establishment request data packet carrying the target address information is received from the camera, the intercom mode matched by the camera is determined to be the second intercom mode. The second intercom mode communicates with the camera through the second port. For example, the video surveillance platform initiates an Invite request to the camera via the SIP protocol, informing the camera of the receiving IP and port of the intercom service (e.g., 192.168.1.100:5000). After receiving the Invite request, the camera actively sends a TCP connection establishment request to the intercom service. After receiving the TCP connection establishment request from the camera, the intercom service allocates a separate intercom port (e.g., 6000) to the camera. After receiving the TCP connection establishment on the specific port, the intercom service resolves the camera's outgoing IP and port. This allows it to determine that the intercom mode matched by the camera is the second intercom mode.

[0102] After determining the intercom mode matched by the camera, the server, i.e., the intercom service, sends audio data packaged with the target communication protocol to the camera based on the matched intercom mode, enabling the camera to receive the audio data and play the corresponding voice. Regardless of the intercom mode used, the intercom service packages the audio data into RTP packets and sends them to the camera. The specific processing is as follows: The audio data collected by the front-end device (the audio receiving device connected to the video surveillance platform) is transmitted to the video surveillance platform. The video surveillance platform encrypts the collected audio data and sends it to the voice intercom gateway. The voice intercom gateway receives the encrypted audio data, decrypts it, and sends the decrypted data to the intercom service. The intercom service packages the audio data according to the pre-configured RTP packaging rules and the RTP protocol. The audio payload data should be an integer number of audio encoded frames, with a duration between 20ms and 180ms. The packaged RTP packets are transmitted to the target camera over the network.

[0103] Furthermore, the way audio data is processed differs depending on the type of camera. For the first type of camera, an RTP header and a 2-byte RTP packet length are required. For the second type of camera, an RTP header and the 2-byte length are not needed for normal audio transmission. When sending audio data, the intercom service on the server dynamically adjusts the data format according to the camera type to ensure that the audio data can be correctly received and played by the camera.

[0104] Through the above steps, the intercom function can be dynamically expanded based on the device type. For different types of cameras, the processing logic of the intercom service can be dynamically adjusted according to their supported intercom functions and audio data reception and processing methods, ensuring that the system can adapt to camera devices from more manufacturers. This solves the compatibility issues existing in the current system, simplifies the system adaptation and configuration process, improves system stability and user experience, and provides a highly efficient and reliable intelligent voice intercom solution for video surveillance systems.

[0105] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the above embodiments are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some steps in the flowcharts of the above embodiments may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be performed alternately or in turn with other steps or at least some of the steps or stages of other steps.

[0106] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a camera voice intercom device 700 for implementing the camera voice intercom method described above. The solution provided by this device is similar to the solution described in the above method; therefore, the specific limitations of one or more camera voice intercom device embodiments provided below can be found in the limitations of the camera voice intercom method described above, and will not be repeated here.
