A gateway of a surveillance system, the gateway includes: a communication module configured to communicate with a plurality of network cameras including a first network camera and a second network camera; and a processor configured to recognize a motion of a subject based on event information transmitted by the first network camera and to transmit subject information generated based on the motion of the subject to the second network camera.

In a system and method for detecting carbon dioxide in an enclosed volume, a CO2 detection system is triggered to awaken from a deep sleep state. Once awake, the system queries system sensors to determine the current system parameters, including current CO2 level and temperature. Current and expected CO2 decay rates are calculated, and the system determines whether the current CO2 decay rate is within an expected normal range for an unoccupied enclosed volume. If the volume is static, i.e., not moving, and the CO2 rate is rising and the temperature is rising, a series of alerts are sent to contacts previously set up by the user. If the alerts are not cleared by a user, emergency management personnel are notified.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a fall risk evaluation system whereby risk of falling of an elderly person or other person to be managed can be easily evaluated on the basis of a captured image of daily life, instead of by a physical therapist, etc. To achieve this purpose, the present invention is a fall risk evaluation system comprising a stereo camera and a fall risk evaluation device, the fall risk evaluation device being provided with: a person authentication unit for authenticating a person to be managed who has been imaged by the stereo camera; a person tracking unit for tracking the person to be managed who is authenticated by the person authentication unit; an action extraction unit for extracting walking by the person to be managed; a feature value calculation unit for calculating a feature value of the walking extracted by the action extraction unit; an integration unit for generating integrated data obtained by integrating the outputs of the person authentication unit, the person tracking unit, the action extraction unit, and the feature value calculation unit; a fall index calculation unit for calculating a fall index value of the person to be managed, on the basis of a plurality of integrated data generated by the integration unit; and a fall risk evaluation unit for comparing the fall index value calculated by the fall index calculation unit and a threshold value to evaluate the risk of falling of the person to be managed.

A system and method for acoustically detecting the firing of gunshots indoors employs multiple microphones (15, 20) which are utilized individually and in combination to detect sounds inside a building or other structure and, upon sensing a loud impulsive sound which is indicative of a gunshot, processing signals from both microphones (15, 20) to determine if the sound is that of a gunshot. The system and method relies on the acoustic signature of the noise as collected, with the acoustic signature being analyzed to arrive at values which are then compared to adjustable levels that signify a gunshot.

The present invention relates to an emergency alert system that triggers a distress event that is automatically managed by a community security system. The emergency alert system is activated through users' mobile devices and initiates communication with the community security system. Management by the community security system includes receiving the GPS location of the mobile device, recording a continuous stream of audio and video from the panic user's mobile application, notifying potential responders or groups of responders in the vicinity of the panic alert and, among other things, activating localized visual and audible deterrents present in surround private security systems, intelligently directing community CCTV cameras to record the distress event and issuing notifications to the closest community members for immediate responses, as well as other responder or group notification members.

A system is provided that includes a computer implemented method for the automated purchasing of a security system having a plurality of security equipment components for use and installation on a unique geo-coordinate referenced location (i.e., a property). The system also includes a computer implemented method for installing the security equipment on the property that was purchased using the automated purchasing system.

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods are provided. One or more first signals received from one or more first devices may be monitored. One or more first threat indicators within a first signal of the one or more first signals may be detected. One or more second signals may be analyzed to determine a probability of a threat event. One or more second devices of a plurality of devices may be selected, based upon the probability, for transmission of one or more messages associated with the threat event.

A computer assisted facility monitoring method provides users with predefined operating procedures that are recommended for addressing one or more alarms acknowledged by the user. The predefined operating procedures are created and stored prior to the occurrence of the alarms. In some examples, after acknowledging an alarm occurrence, the user may be provided with an option for bypassing or disregarding the alarm, as some such acknowledgements may have been for false alarms. In some examples, the predefined operating procedure may specify multiple action steps for addressing an alarm. In such examples, the user can close out or settle an alarm incident even without completing all of the action steps, provided the user enters a valid reason for doing so. In some examples, a user can batch-select a group of alarms, wherein perhaps only some of the acknowledged alarms in the group have corresponding predefined operating procedures.
