The power source of the defibrillator may be used by connecting the commercial power thereto and may be used by charging with a charged battery installed.

Furthermore, according to the present disclosure, when the defibrillator is operated, the control unit notifies, through the transmitting unit, a smartphone of an apartment manager, a security office, 119, or an emergency management department call of an emergency situation by SNS. Furthermore, when the defibrillator is operated, the control unit notifies the server of a related hospital through the transmitting unit, and the hospital server notifies a smartphone of an attending specialist so that the attending specialist is on standby in a hospital emergency room.

When the defibrillator is operated, the control unit notifies the related hospital server through the transmitting unit, and the hospital server notifies a smartphone of a driver of an ambulance, so that the ambulance will arrive at the building with the relevant elevator and be on standby.

Operating the defibrillator is configured such that when the power source in the defibrillator is turned on, the communication module transmits a signal to the hospital server. Furthermore, according to the present disclosure, the CCTV camera may be installed inside the elevator or the defibrillator storage case.

The camera inside the case is attached to the inner surface of the cover to enable the user to easily face the camera when the inner surface of the cover is positioned to face the user of the defibrillator. Therefore, when the defibrillator is operated, the control unit transmits a signal to the server of the defibrillator management institution. When the defibrillator is operated and a defibrillator operation signal is received, a server control unit of, for example, a public health center or a disease control and prevention center, which is the defibrillator management institution, operates the speakers provided inside the defibrillator case to allow the user to manually turn on the CCTV camera by voice. On the other hand, when the defibrillator is operated, the controller controls the CCTV camera so that the CCTV camera is automatically operated.
