1 , Background Introduction

Coal is a vital energy resource in China. For a long time, the country’s coal industry has relied on manual mining methods, resulting in low productivity and numerous safety hazards—such as gas explosions and underground water ingress—that occur frequently. With the widespread adoption of computer technology across various sectors, coal production has gradually transitioned to automation, significantly boosting efficiency. However, due to the unique and hazardous conditions of coal mining, accidents are common, earning the industry its reputation as a high-risk sector. By deploying Guangzhou Guangqiao’s video surveillance system, ground‑based or central monitoring personnel can conduct real‑time oversight of underground operations. This not only enables intuitive monitoring and recording of on‑site safety conditions but also allows for the timely detection of potential hazards through the installation of temperature‑and‑humidity sensors and gas detectors. Such proactive measures help prevent accidents before they occur and provide first‑hand visual evidence for post‑incident analysis, thereby offering a reliable foundation for future safe production. Consequently, Guangzhou Guangqiao’s video surveillance system has become an essential component of modern mine safety‑monitoring systems.

In the early days, many coal mines relied on analog video surveillance systems, which suffered from limited scalability and stability and were cumbersome to manage. With advances in networking and computer technologies, coupled with the widespread adoption of fiber-optic networks, an increasing number of facilities are opting for fiber‑optic transmission of video signals, a capability readily supported by optical video transceivers. Consequently, integrating fiber optics into coal‑mine safety monitoring systems has become a prevailing trend.

2 , Overview

With the introduction of various new security concepts, government agencies, industries, and residential communities have increasingly established their own independent surveillance and alarm systems. The establishment and continuous improvement of these security systems have played a crucial role in safeguarding personnel and equipment, enhancing production and management efficiency, preventing and deterring crime, and maintaining socio-economic stability. Leveraging fiber optics for video transmission and networked alarm integration represents an efficient, practical, and cost-effective solution.

3 , User Requirements

* Underground mining and excavation points (monitoring points) are dispersed and continuously repositioned as production progresses.

* The system is required to be easy to install and maintain.

* The system’s monitoring data are accurate.

* Capable of operating stably and reliably under harsh environmental conditions.

5 , Explanation of the Design Diagram

Video signals from each underground well are transmitted to the surface monitoring center via optical bridge video transceivers, enabling both real-time monitoring and the recording of video and alarm signals.

6 , System Features

Compared with traditional closed-circuit television, Guangqiao’s video surveillance system offers several distinct advantages:

> Fully networked monitoring : Enables remote monitoring wherever fiber-optic connectivity is available.  

> Storage : The system supports local and remote video recording, as well as video query and playback.

> Image Quality: The system employs fully uncompressed images.

> Easy to install and simple to use: The device is plug-and-play and requires no configuration.

> Security Control Management:

The system provides users with flexible options for image monitoring. , It enables control over the lens’s focal length, magnification, and aperture, as well as pan‑tilt movement, while also supporting alarm and security policies, electronic map navigation, and integrated alarm linkage.

> Safe and reliable: Leveraging the confidentiality and anti-interference capabilities of optical fiber to provide secure and reliable protection for video transmission.

> Scalable:

It enables continuous, seamless upgrades and scaling, reduces overall system investment costs, and is compatible with other management and control systems.
