Coal mine safety monitoring system was an important support coal mine safety accident prevention methods and preventive measures, and the current information technology, video cameras, hard disk video recorder technology's rapid development became more widely used. For large-scale use of coal mine safety monitoring system of the actual demand, through the development of coal mine safety monitoring based the analysis of the status quo, the video monitoring system design and optimization was explored and a practical exploration of the practical application was made, which provided widely used coal mine large-scale construction and safety monitoring system for reference.
