Abstract

Provided is a network security system including: a spatial information collector configured to acquire, from a manager input terminal, spatial information; a device position receiver configured to receive, from the manager terminal, at least one device installation position with respect to the spatial information and storing the at least one device installation position; a device recommender configured to provide a candidate device list corresponding to the at least one device installation position; a device determiner configured to receive a signal for selecting at least one device from the candidate device list, and determine a model of the at least one selected device to be installed at the at least one device installation position; and a device setter configured to set a setting of the at least one selected device.

Claims

1. A network security system comprising:

a spatial information collector configured to acquire, from a manager terminal, spatial information about a space where the network security system is to be installed;

a device position receiver configured to receive, from the manager terminal, at least one device installation position with respect to the spatial information, and store the at least one device installation position;

a device recommender configured to provide a candidate device list corresponding to the at least one device installation position;

a device determiner configured to receive a signal for selecting at least one device from the candidate device list, and determine a model of the at least one selected device to be installed at the at least one device installation position; and

a device setter configured to set a setting of the at least one selected device.

2. The network security system of claim 1,

wherein the at least one selected device is a camera, and

wherein the device setter is further configured to automatically set an image profile setting of the camera.

3. The network security system of claim 1,

wherein the at least one device is one of a recorder, a monitoring device, and a central management device, and

wherein the at least one device installation position comprises a connection relationship between devices.

4. The network security system of claim 3, wherein the candidate device list comprises all models of corresponding devices that are stored in a database.

5. The network security system of claim 1, wherein the device setter is further configured to set at least one of an image profile, capacity, bandwidth, and network.

6. The network security system of claim 5, wherein in response to the at least one device being a camera, the device setter is further configured to set the image profile by setting a resolution, a bitrate, and a frame rate of the camera.

7. The network security system of claim 5, wherein in response to the at least one device being a recorder or a monitoring device, the device setter is further configured to set the capacity by setting the number of hard disks and capacity of the recorder or the monitoring device.

8. The network security system of claim 5, wherein in response to the at least one device being a network, the device setter is further configured to set a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), a static Internet protocol (IP), and a dynamic domain name service (DDNS) of the network.

9. The network security system of claim 5, wherein in response to the at least one device being a network or a network switch, the device setter is further configured to set the bandwidth between devices connected to each other.

10. The network security system of claim 1, wherein the device recommender is further configured to provide the candidate device list in descending order of a degree of matching.

11. The network security system of claim 1, wherein the device setter is further configured to change a setting of the at least one device based on an input from the manager terminal.

12. The network security system of claim 1, wherein at least two device installation positions are present with respect to at least one device which has at least one model.

13. A network security method comprising:

acquiring, from a manager terminal, spatial information about a space where a network security system is to be installed;

receiving, from the manger terminal, a device installation position with respect to the spatial information, and storing the device installation position;

providing a candidate device list corresponding to the device installation position;

receiving a signal for selecting a device from the candidate device list and determining a model of the selected device to be installed at the device installation position; and

automatically setting a setting of the selected device.

14. The network security method of claim 13,

wherein the selected device is a camera, and

wherein the automatically setting the setting of the selected device comprises automatically setting an image profile setting of the camera.

15. The network security method of claim 13,

wherein the selected device is one of a recorder, a monitoring device, and a central management device, and

wherein the device installation position comprises a connection relationship between devices.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium having recorded thereon a program, which when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a method comprising:

acquiring spatial information corresponding to a space where a security system is to be installed;

receiving at least one device installation position within the space and storing the device installation position;

providing a candidate device list corresponding to the at least one device installation position;

receiving a signal for selecting, from the candidate device list, at least one device to be installed at the at least one device installation position; and

configuring at least one setting of the at least one selected device.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16, wherein the at least one selected device is a camera, and

wherein the at least one setting of the camera is an image profile setting including at least one of a resolution, a bitrate, and a frame rate of the camera.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16, wherein the at least one selected device is one of a recorder, a monitoring device, and a central management device, and wherein the at least one device installation position comprises a connection relationship between devices in the security system.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16, wherein the candidate device list comprises a plurality of devices arranged in descending order based on a suitability for the at least one deice installation position.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16, wherein the spatial information comprises a floor plan of the space where the security system is to be installed.
