Solution Overview

Problem

Current monitoring systems experience downtime due to surveillance camera breakdowns, requiring multiple visits by maintenance personnel and resulting in inconvenient and inefficient maintenance processes.

Innovation Solution

A predictive diagnostic device and monitoring system that uses a controller to predict future breakdowns of surveillance camera components based on operational environment and characteristic information, providing warnings for impending failures, thus allowing for proactive replacement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional breakdown management process is used, then maintenance personnel can repair cameras, but monitoring blank occurs during breakdown and multiple visits are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring continuityVSAvoidmaintenance time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary diagnosis and prediction of camera breakdowns before actual failure occurs. The diagnosis unit continuously monitors camera status and predicts potential failures, allowing maintenance personnel to prepare and visit only once to replace components before breakdown, thus preventing monitoring blanks and reducing multiple visits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If traditional breakdown management process is used, then cameras can be repaired, but monitoring blank occurs from breakdown to temporary camera replacement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring continuityVSAvoidmaintenance efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary diagnosis and prediction of camera breakdowns before actual failure occurs. The diagnosis unit continuously monitors camera status and predicts potential failures, allowing maintenance personnel to prepare and visit only once to replace components before breakdown, thus preventing monitoring blanks and reducing multiple visits.

AI summary

A monitoring system according to the present embodiment comprises a surveillance camera and a monitoring device. The surveillance camera transmits information on an operation environment thereof to the monitoring device. The monitoring device periodically predicts a future breakdown date of at least one component according to the information on the operation environment of the surveillance camera and characteristic information on the al least one component of the surveillance camera, and provides a warning when the future breakdown date of the prediction result is within a predetermined period from a current date.
