In a monitoring apparatus, a monitoring area is scanned by an area sensor device to detect objects. Moving objects are identified among the detected objects, and, among the identified moving objects, a moving object which is the closest to a priority monitoring object which is preset in the monitoring area is set as a tracking target. The object which is set to be tracked is automatically tracked by a camera device. As a result, even if there are present a plurality of moving objects in the monitoring area, tracking targets are switched from one to another, so that it is possible to set a moving object desired by an observer.

Energy is optimized in a battery-powered camera system by co-locating a low-power vision processor with a camera. The vision processor executes algorithms to determine whether the image contains one or more objects of interest. Convolutional neural network is one example of an object detection algorithm. Energy is saved by making local decisions to turn off the camera for one or more subsequent frames, and by avoiding energy expenditure for compression and transmission. Security is optimized by transmitting only information about the images, as opposed to images themselves. Alternatively, security may be enhanced by completing a first portion of an object detection algorithm on a local processor, then transmitting interim data to a remote computer where a second portion of the algorithm is completed. It is challenging to obtain original image data from transmitted interim data. 1) A camera system is comprised of a camera , a vision processor co-located with the camera and executing an object recognition algorithm , and means for transmission of data to a remote computer , wherein:said camera acquires an image;said vision processor executes an object recognition algorithm and outputs an indication on whether one or more objects of interest are included in the image;when indication is that no objects of interest are present in the image the camera and vision processor are placed in a mode to minimize energy consumption for a time equal to at least one frame period at the specified frame rate;when indication is that one or more objects of interest are present in the image, a video stream is initiated, video is compressed and transmitted to a remote computer.2) The camera system of wherein said vision processor comprises a master processor and one or more tile-based processors.3) The camera system of wherein transmission to a remote computer is wireless.4) The camera system of wherein transmission to a remote computer is wired.5) The camera system of wherein said object ...

A detector monitors the presence, absence, insertion, and/or removal of an object in a holster. The detector broadcasts a message to an electronic device reporting whether the object, such as a weapon, has been removed from the holster and/or if the holster lock has been unlocked. The detector repeatedly probes for the presence of the object in the holster. The electronic device, in response to authenticating the message, may control the recording of audio, video, and/or other data in conjunction with the insertion or withdrawal. The detector stores information about when an object has been removed or inserted from the holster and provides it the electronic device. 1.

A system and method for dispensing a key from a key kiosk disposed at a realtor's office near a real property based on a showing appointment scheduled with a showing scheduling system. The appointment, including a date and time, as well as an authorized user is communicated from the showing scheduling system to the key kiosk. The user then authenticates herself or himself to the kiosk at the appropriate time, and the key is dispensed. The kiosk authenticates the user by scanning a QR code or using the physical location of the user. The kiosk will not dispense the key if the user has a different key that is checked out, but not returned yet. The key can be returned to the kiosk where it is dispensed, or a different key kiosk. The kiosk also dispenses a single common key when the user shows multiple properties. 116-. (canceled)17. A method for managing real estate property keys , the method performed by a key kiosk , the method comprising:1) providing a first status of a first key within a set of keys to a server within a showing appointment management system over the Internet, said key kiosk containing said set of keys for a set of real estate properties, said first status indicating said first key available for accessing a first real estate property within said set of real estate properties;2) receiving a showing appointment for showing said first real estate property and a fingerprint based authentication code from said server over the Internet, said showing appointment including a date, time, and user identifier, said appointment requested by a showing agent and generated by said showing appointment management system, said fingerprint based authentication code generated from a fingerprint of said showing agent;3) receiving a fingerprint identifier from a mobile communication device, said fingerprint identifier generated from image features derived from a fingerprint image of said showing agent captured by said mobile communication device;4) authenticating said ...

Автор: Dubois Ronald, Jones, JR. Donald R., Nosair Hussein Mohammed

Принадлежит: NetTalon Security Systems, Inc.

The present invention is directed to providing a method and system that enables a first responder security officer to take command and control of a building having a security incident. Using the method and system herein, the security officer is able to clearly distinguish the positions of his building entry teams in the building relative to the position of a suspect through a graphic display of friend and foe designation whereupon he can precisely direct a maneuver to close with the suspect. A group of motion sensors are mounted throughout the building to monitor various hallways for movement and collocated RFID readers are interrogated by the security alarm panel software to provide the intelligence for the security alarm control panel to distinguish a police building entry team (Friend) from the suspect (Foe). 1. A method for monitoring persons during a security incident comprising the steps of:providing a plurality of emergency activation transmitters, a plurality of security sensors adapted to receive signals from the emergency activation transmitters, a plurality of video cameras, and a security alarm panel;operatively linking the security sensors and video cameras to the security alarm panel;installing the security sensors and video cameras in rooms in a building;upon activation of an emergency activation transmitter, detecting by a security sensor the activation and sending an alarm to the security alarm panel;displaying on the security alarm panel the location of the emergency activation on a building floor plan;selecting a video camera proximate the location of the emergency activation and displaying the video feed from the selected camera on the security alarm panel;using the video feed from the video camera, identifying a suspect;using one or more of the plurality of video cameras to track the location of the suspect and displaying with indicia the suspect location on the building floor plan;providing a security officer transmitter adapted to communicate ...

An environmental surveillance system includes at least one status sensor, a control device, and at least one portable information capturing device. The control device is coupled to the status sensors to send a broadcast packet in accordance with sensing signals generated from the status sensors. The broadcast packet includes a broadcast data. The broadcast data includes an actuation command. The at least one portable information capturing device receives the broadcast packet and compares a match data with the broadcast data in the broadcast packet. When the match data matches the broadcast data, the at least one portable information capturing device starts a media capturing procedure in accordance with the actuation command. 1. An environmental surveillance system , comprising:at least one status sensor for sensing an environmental status to generate at least one sensing signal;a control device coupled to the at least one status sensor to send a broadcast packet in accordance with the at least one sensing signal, the broadcast packet including a broadcast data, the broadcast data including an actuation command; andat least one portable information capturing device for receiving the broadcast packet to compare a match data with the broadcast data and start a media capturing procedure in accordance with the actuation command when the match data matches the broadcast data.2.
