For the security monitoring system, according to the different functions of each part of the system, we divide the whole security monitoring system into seven layers - presentation layer, control layer, processing layer, transmission layer, execution layer, support layer and acquisition layer. Of course, due to the increasing integration of devices, for some systems, some devices may exist in the system as multiple layers at the same time.

What is the composition of remote monitoring? The performance city is our most intuitive feeling. It shows the quality of the whole security monitoring system. Such as monitoring TV wall, monitor, tweeter alarm horn, alarm automatic connection telephone, etc. all belong to this layer of Shenzhen security.

The control layer is the core of the whole monitoring project, and it is the most clear embodiment of the scientific and technological level of the system. Usually we have two control modes - analog control and digital control. Analog control is an early control mode. Its console is usually composed of controller or analog control matrix. It is suitable for small local security monitoring system. This control mode has low cost and low failure rate. However, for medium and large-scale security monitoring systems, this method is complex and has no price advantage. At this time, our wiser choice should be digital control. Digital control takes the industrial control computer as the control core of the monitoring system. It changes the complex analog control operation into simple mouse click operation, reduces the huge analog controller stack to an industrial control computer, and changes the complex and large number of control cables into a serial telephone line. It turns medium and remote monitoring into reality and provides possibility for Internet remote monitoring. However, the digital control is not so perfect. The price of the control host is very expensive, the module is wasted, the system may collapse across the board, the control is lagging behind and so on.

3. Processing layer
The processing layer may be called the audio and video processing layer. It distributes, amplifies and divides the audio and video signals sent from the transmission layer, and organically connects the presentation layer with the control layer. Audio and video distributors, audio and video amplifiers, video dividers, audio and video switchers and other equipment all belong to this layer.

4. Transport layer
The transport layer is equivalent to the blood of the security monitoring system. In small-scale monitoring projects, our most common transmission layer equipment is video line and audio line. For medium and remote monitoring systems, we often use RF line and microwave. For remote monitoring, we usually use the cheap carrier of Internet. It is worth mentioning that the emerging transmission layer medium - network cable / optical fiber. Most people have a misunderstanding about digital security monitoring. They think that the digital security monitoring system used by the control layer is the digital security monitoring system, but it is not. The transmission medium of pure digital security monitoring system must be network cable or optical fiber. When the signal comes out of the acquisition layer, it has been modulated into a digital signal. The digital signal runs on the mature network and has no attenuation in theory, which ensures the loss free display of remote monitoring images, which is unmatched by analog transmission. Of course, high-performance return also requires high-cost investment, which is one of the most important reasons why pure digital security monitoring system can not be popularized.

5. Executive layer
The execution layer is the command object of our control instructions. In some cases, it is not completely separated from the support layer and acquisition layer. We think that the controlled object is the execution layer device. For example: pan tilt, lens, decoder, smart ball, etc.

6. Support layer
As the name suggests, the support layer is used to support back-end devices, protect and support acquisition layer and execution layer devices. It includes surveillance camera bracket, surveillance camera protective cover and other auxiliary equipment.

7. Acquisition layer
The acquisition layer is the key factor for the quality of the whole security monitoring system, and it is also the place with the largest system cost. It includes lens, surveillance camera, alarm sensor and so on.
