Traditional physical security policy considers an intentional use of budgets and a way of using physical spaces. It represents difficulties in responses to the environment, which is dynamically changed, because the plan is determined as static and stereotypical manners. Thus, in this study a wireless IP camera is used as a method that expands monitoring ranges in existing physical spaces in order to propose a security service structure that can support instantaneous detections and responses to disasters. Although the effort for protecting facilities and equipments using a video monitoring system using wireless IP cameras for temporal threats is a proper way for providing a physical security service according to needs of an adaptable security level. Moreover, if a security level for a specific section is to be upgraded according to changes in external environments, the security level, which is guaranteed by periodic guard patrols, can be improved and supported using a wireless IP camera-based video monitoring system for 24聽h during the period to be required. Also, it is possible to establish an environment that enables instantaneous detections and responses for a moment of accidents through performing a continuous video monitoring work from the beginning of rainfall to a dangerous level of flooding.
