Abstract

A cruising surveillance system comprises a plurality of wireless beacons and an unmanned vehicle. Each of the wireless beacons emits a unique wireless sequential signal. The unmanned vehicle is equipped with an infrared object sensor, a video camera recorder, a wireless transceiving unit, a central processing unit, a driving unit, and a power supply unit. The central processing unit compares the wireless sequential signal received from the wireless transceiving unit, and makes the driving unit to move the unmanned vehicle to cruises along a route defined by the wireless beacons. When the object sensor detected a suspected object, the central processing makes the driving unit to move the unmanned vehicle to approach thereto, and makes the video camera recorder to record the suspected object, and transmits a video recording of the suspected object to a surveillance center via the wireless transceiving unit.

Claims

1. A cruising surveillance system, comprising:

a plurality of wireless beacons each emitting a unique wireless sequential signal for defining a route;

an unmanned vehicle for cruising along the route, having an infrared object sensor for sensing and detecting a suspected object nearby, and a wireless transceiving unit for transmitting video recordings of the suspected object to a surveillance center.

2. The cruising surveillance system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the unmanned vehicle is equipped with a video camera recorder for recording the suspected object, and while the suspected object is disappeared from a sensible range of the infrared object sensor, the unmanned vehicle is approaching a nearest wireless beacons to return to the route.

3. The cruising surveillance system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the unmanned vehicle is equipped with a central processing unit coupled with the wireless transceiving unit and the video camera recorder, for processing and transmitting the video to the surveillance center.

4. The cruising surveillance system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the central processing unit compares the wireless sequential signals from the wireless beacons to move the unmanned vehicle toward the wireless beacons emitting next sequential signal.

5. The cruising surveillance system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the unmanned vehicle is equipped with a swivel mount for connecting the video camera recorder, and when the infrared object sensor detected a suspected object nearby, the swivel mount rotates and keeps the video camera recorder aimed at the suspected object.

6. The cruising surveillance system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the unmanned vehicle is equipped with a driving motor for rotating the swivel mount.

7. The cruising surveillance system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the unmanned vehicle comprises:

a vehicle frame, having a driving unit for driving the unmanned vehicle;

a swivel mount, having a driving motor for rotating the swivel mount;

a video camera recorder, mounted on the swivel mount;

a central processing unit coupled with the driving unit, the driving motor, the wireless transceiving unit and the infrared object sensor; and

a power supply unit for supplying power to the central processing unit, the driving unit, the driving motor, the wireless transceiving unit and the infrared object sensor.
