The invention discloses a monitoring system for emergency information processing. When a monitoring device detecting that the monitoring device can not transmit data externally by a first network module, the monitoring device controls a cloud desk to adjust the angle to enable the monitoring device to face an infrared receiving module of an adjacent receiving terminal and an infrared transmittingtube is started to transmit information; and the information is modulated in infrared light and the modulated information is transmitted to the infrared receiving module of the adjacent receiving terminal by the infrared light, and the received information is transmitted to a cloud terminal. Therefore, a problem that the monitoring data of the monitoring device can not be transmitted to the cloudterminal timely because of a network fault or cable dropping can be solved; the reliability of the monitoring device is improved; the monitoring to the fault of the monitoring device by the system isensured effectively; and the reliability of the monitoring system is improved substantially.
