Monitoring System
First Claim
1. A surveillance system for a pre-determined area comprising presence detectors divided up among various mobile monitoring stations which are organised in relation to each other and to a management unit forming a network according to an initial configuration defined theoretically by software in said management unit,said management unit being designed to communicate in real time with each of the monitoring stations in order to receive positioning and operating data as well as presence detection data from said monitoring stations,and said software being designed to use pre-recorded characteristics to calculate the initial network configuration, allocating an initial location to each of said stations, and to automatically calculate in real time a new configuration to be allocated to the network in order to monitor said area, according to said pre-recorded characteristics in the management unit and said positioning and operating data transmitted in real time by said monitoring stations implemented in said area.

Abstract
A surveillance system includes presence detectors in a given area and an intruder identification system. The detectors are distributed among different mobile monitoring stations. A network is formed by the monitoring stations and a management unit which is designed to communicate with each of the monitoring stations and has software designed to automatically calculate the configuration to be given to the network which is to monitor the area and thus optimise the equipment used in each sector. The network configuration is calculated according to input data which include pre-recorded characteristics in the management unit and data that are at least partly provided by the monitoring stations once they are installed in the area.

9. A surveillance process performed by a presence detector network where each detector is designed to communicate with a management unit which is equipped with software designed to determine, at least, the position to be given to the detectors in a determined area, in which:
-
the initial configuration to be given to said network is calculated by the management unit, taking into account, at least, a theoretical three-dimensional map of said determined area; data relating to an effective configuration of the network are obtained by communication between the detectors and the management unit; a new network configuration is automatically calculated when one of said items of data recovered is modified in relation to the data concerning the network configuration previously calculated by said management unit; data relating to the new network configuration are sent to the detectors. - View Dependent Claims (10)
