Abstract

A door security device mounted on a door having a hole comprises a lens mounted on a fitting, a telescopic tube inserted into the hole secured to the fitting on front of door, a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) based image sensor in the rear end of hole for sensing image through lens for converting into image signals, an image processor for processing image signals sent from image sensor, and a liquid crystal display (LCD) for showing the image. With this, advantages such as high safety, low power consumption, adaptability, easy assembly, compact, flexibility, and no damage to door by using existing door hole can be effected.

Claims

1. A security device mounted on a door having a through hole comprising:

a lens;

a fastening means provided in front of the lens for fastening the lens on a first opening of the hole of the door;

a telescopic tube inserted into a second opening of the hole of the door to be secured to the fastening means;

a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) based image sensor provided on the second opening of the hole aligned with the lens for sensing image through the lens for converting into image signals;

an image processor circuit provided in a rear of the CMOS based image sensor being secured to the CMOS based image sensor for processing image signals sent from the image sensor;

a liquid crystal display (LCD) provided in a rear of the image processor circuit being fixed and secured to a back of the door for converting the processed image signals into an image and displaying the image; and

a power source for powering the image processor circuit, the LCD, and the CMOS based image sensor.

2. The device of claim 1, further comprising a voice sensor, an audio amplifier, and a speaker being electrically connected each other for amplifying voice in front of the door.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the LCD further comprising an image recording means.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein the power source is a connected group of 6V-9V cells.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the lens further comprises a cover.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the CMOS based image sensor and the image processor circuit are mounted in a front portion of a telescopic tube engaged with the front of the lens being electrically connected to the LCD through a line.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the CMOS based image sensor and the image processor circuit are mounted in a rear portion of the telescopic tube.

8. The device of claim 1, further comprising a cable, a radio frequency transmitter, a radio frequency receiver, and a personal computer (PC) having a harddisk wherein the radio frequency transmitter transmits audio-video signals to the radio frequency receiver for receiving, a received signal is sent to the PC through a cable for displaying and storing in a harddisk.

9. The device of claim 1, further comprising a cable, a radio frequency transmitter, a radio frequency receiver, a video cassette recorder (VCR), and a television (TV) wherein the radio frequency transmitter transmits audio-video signals to the radio frequency receiver for receiving, a received signal is sent to a TV through a cable for displaying and to a VCR for recording.
