Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wildlife monitoring technology, and in particular to a device that supports automatic acquisition and transmission of data from non-networked infrared cameras. Background Technology

[0002] Infrared cameras, as a core tool for wildlife monitoring, are widely used in nature reserves and ecological research due to their non-invasive and all-weather operation. Currently, most infrared cameras use local memory cards as data storage media, requiring manual periodic retrieval of these cards to retrieve monitoring data. However, these cameras typically lack network transmission capabilities, resulting in long data acquisition cycles, high labor costs, and an inability to meet the real-time or near-real-time requirements for wildlife behavior monitoring.

[0003] In existing technologies, some improved solutions attempt to achieve data transmission through external communication modules. However, these solutions typically require modifications to the infrared camera's hardware structure, increasing deployment costs and compatibility risks. For example, some solutions integrate wired or wireless modules directly into the camera, but this necessitates a redesign of the circuit layout, making it difficult to adapt to the large number of traditional infrared cameras already deployed. Furthermore, existing improved solutions often employ dual memory card switching or redundant storage designs. While this reduces the frequency of manual intervention, it still cannot completely solve the problem of real-time data transmission, and the complexity of the memory card switching mechanism may lead to a decrease in device reliability.

[0004] The aforementioned problems result in significant drawbacks for existing non-networked infrared cameras in long-term monitoring: First, manual data collection is inefficient, especially in remote areas or large-scale monitoring scenarios, where manpower and time costs increase exponentially; second, data lag is severe, making it difficult to detect abnormal wildlife behavior or environmental changes in a timely manner; and third, existing improvement solutions have poor compatibility, making it difficult to adapt to different models of infrared cameras, thus limiting the promotion of the technology.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a device that can automatically acquire and transmit data without modifying the existing infrared camera structure, so as to improve monitoring efficiency and ensure data timeliness. Utility Model Content

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] This embodiment provides a device that supports automatic acquisition and transmission of data from non-networked infrared cameras, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0031] Central controller 1 is used to control the operation of each module;

[0032] The storage conversion module 2 is connected to the central controller 1 through a control interface and to the memory card 3, infrared camera 13 and data acquisition module 4 through a data interface. It is used to map the memory card 3 as virtual storage for the infrared camera 13 or the data acquisition module 4.

[0033] The network transmission module 6 is connected to the data acquisition module 4 and is used to upload the read data to the cloud platform.

[0034] The central controller 1 is connected to the data acquisition module 4 via a control interface; the infrared camera 13 is connected to the central controller 1 via a control interface.

[0043] In one implementation, the infrared camera 13 is equipped with an infrared camera control module 15, which is connected to the central controller 1. During the operation of the infrared camera 13, the central controller 1 monitors the working status of the infrared camera 13 in real time (working / sleep). When the infrared camera 13 completes a complete working cycle (sleep → working → sleep), the central controller 1 sends a command to the infrared camera control module 15 through the third control interface 8 to control the infrared camera 13 to stop working and save the data, and then starts the data acquisition and transmission process.

[0044] Under normal monitoring conditions, the central controller 1 uses the first control interface 7 to send a command to the storage conversion module 2, mapping the memory card 3 to the infrared camera virtual memory 14 of the infrared camera 13 via the storage conversion module 2. Then, it starts the infrared camera 13 to collect data normally via the third control interface 8.

Next, the central controller 1 uses the first control interface 7 to send a command to the storage conversion module 2, mapping the memory card 3 to the data acquisition module virtual memory 5 of the data acquisition module 4. The central controller 1 then uses the second... Control interface 9 controls data acquisition module 4 to read data from virtual memory 5 and transmit it to the cloud platform via network transmission module 6. After all data is uploaded to the cloud platform, data acquisition module 4 deletes the data from virtual memory 5 for subsequent data acquisition. Central controller 1 monitors the working status of data acquisition module 4 in real time. When it detects that data acquisition module 4 has completed data uploading and deletion, central controller 1 issues a command to stop data acquisition module 4 and then restarts the data acquisition process. Central controller 1 controls the infrared camera and the automatic data acquisition and transmission device to alternately perform the data acquisition and data acquisition and transmission processes, realizing automatic data acquisition and transmission from non-networked infrared cameras.
