Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of monitoring and detection technology, specifically relating to an infrared detector that combines video monitoring. Background Technology
[0002] In the nuclear power sector, perimeter fencing uses infrared detectors to prevent unauthorized personnel from approaching the protected area and transmits the detected signals to a control center for alarm purposes. However, in foggy conditions, the high moisture content in the air scatters the infrared beams, making the detectors prone to false alarms. Furthermore, birds flying over the protected area can also block the infrared beams, generating false alarms. These birds are also small and fast-flying, making them difficult to spot even when reviewing nearby surveillance footage.
[0003] Therefore, further improvements will be made to address the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide an infrared detector that integrates video surveillance. It uses an infrared transmitting column and an infrared receiving column to link together, integrating the camera and infrared module into a single mounting plate. The alarm is only sent to the security room or other back-end systems after both the infrared module and the camera trigger the alarm simultaneously. This avoids false alarms caused by weather conditions or birds flying overhead, reducing the occurrence of false alarms. After the alarm is triggered, it can provide a clear and intuitive video image, making it convenient for staff to check the intrusion situation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an infrared detector integrated with video surveillance, comprising an infrared emitting column and an infrared receiving column. Both the infrared emitting column and the infrared receiving column are provided with a housing and a mounting plate, a camera, and several infrared modules housed within the housing.
[0006] Both the camera and the infrared module are fixedly mounted on the mounting plate. The camera is located above the infrared module, and multiple infrared modules are arranged equidistantly along the vertical direction on the mounting plate.
[0007] The camera includes a camera mounting bracket and a camera. The camera mounting bracket includes an integrally formed first component, a second component, and a third component. The first component and the third component are located at both ends of the second component and are bent relative to the second component. The second component is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate. The first component has a first mounting hole and the third component has a second mounting hole. The two sides of the camera are respectively mounted in the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole.
[0008] The infrared module includes an infrared mounting bracket and an infrared transmitter. The infrared mounting bracket includes a body and a fixing component. The body is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate and the infrared transmitter is fixedly mounted between the body and the fixing component.
[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the infrared module of the infrared emitting column is an infrared emitting module, and the infrared module of the infrared receiving column is an infrared receiving module. The infrared receiving module is used to receive the infrared light emitted by the infrared emitting module.
[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the second component is provided with a first fixing hole, a second fixing hole, a third fixing hole and a fourth fixing hole, the first fixing hole, the second fixing hole and the third fixing hole being distributed around the fourth fixing hole (the first to fourth fixing holes are all provided with bolts for securely installing the camera mounting bracket onto the mounting plate).
[0011] As a further preferred technical solution to the above technical solution, the main body is fixedly installed on the mounting plate by a first bolt, a second bolt, a third bolt, a fourth bolt, and a fifth bolt.
[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the fastener is fixedly installed on the body by the sixth bolt and the seventh bolt. Attached Figure Description

[0019] In the embodiments of this utility model, those skilled in the art will note that the infrared devices and the like involved in this utility model can be considered as prior art.
[0020] Preferred embodiment.
[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses an infrared detector integrated with video surveillance, including an infrared emitting column and an infrared receiving column. Both the infrared emitting column and the infrared receiving column are provided with a housing and a mounting plate 100 built into the housing, a camera, and several infrared modules, wherein:
[0022] Both the camera and the infrared module are fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 100. The camera is located above the infrared module, and multiple infrared modules are arranged equidistantly along the vertical direction on the mounting plate 100.
[0023] The camera includes a camera mounting bracket 200 and a camera 300. The camera mounting bracket 200 includes an integrally formed first component 210, a second component 220, and a third component 230. The first component 210 and the third component 230 are located at both ends of the second component 220 and are bent relative to the second component 220. The second component 220 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 100. The first component 210 is provided with a first mounting hole 211 and the third component 230 is provided with a second mounting hole 231. The two sides of the camera 300 are respectively mounted in the first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole 231.
[0024] The infrared module includes an infrared mounting bracket 400 and an infrared device 500. The infrared mounting bracket 400 includes a body 410 and a fixing member 420. The body 410 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 100 and the infrared device 500 is fixedly mounted between the body 410 and the fixing member 420.
[0025] Specifically, the infrared module of the infrared emitting column is an infrared emitting module, and the infrared module of the infrared receiving column is an infrared receiving module. The infrared receiving module is used to receive the infrared light emitted by the infrared emitting module.
[0026] More specifically, the second component 220 is provided with a first fixing hole 221, a second fixing hole 222, a third fixing hole 223 and a fourth fixing hole 224.

[0031] The infrared module is used for intrusion alarms (when the infrared receiving module does not receive light emitted by the infrared transmitting module, it indicates that someone is approaching and being blocked). At this time, the camera scans the entire area covered by the infrared detectors. It provides a clear image for the linkage after the infrared detectors alarm. The camera analyzes the image, verifies the alarm information sent by the infrared module, and determines whether the alarm was triggered by weather conditions or birds flying overhead. It can also provide voice alerts to personnel approaching the protected area. After both the infrared module and the camera trigger their alarms simultaneously, they send alarm information to the security room and other back-end systems.
