A cooling device for surveillance system includes: an outer housing surrounding a surveillance camera; and a blower positioned on an outer surface of the outer housing and configured to generate cooling air flowing along the outer surface of the outer housing.

A distributed device network including a number of device nodes connected to a wireless mesh network and including memory configured to store instructions thereon. The instructions cause the one or more processors to receive, from a server by a first device node of the number of device nodes, a first packaged application, the first packaged application including a first functionality, execute, by the first device node, the first packaged application to provide the first functionality receive, from the server by a second device node of the number of device nodes, a second packaged application, the second packaged application including a second functionality, execute, by the second device node, the second packaged application to provide the second functionality, wherein the number of device nodes are resource-constrained devices that cooperate to perform one or more functions of a cloud computing system.

A networked system for managing a physical intrusion detection/alarm includes an upper tier of server devices, comprising: processor devices and memory in communication with the processor devices, a middle tier of gateway devices that are in communication with upper tier servers, and a lower level tier of devices that comprise fully functional nodes with at least some of the functional nodes including an application layer that execute routines to provide node functions, and a device to manage the lower tier of devices, the device instantiating a program manager that executes a state machine to control the application layer in each of the at least some of the functional nodes.

A surveillance system includes one or more camera systems at least some of the camera systems including a camera element comprising optical components to capture and process light to produce images, camera processing circuitry that receives the light and processes the light into electrical signals and encodes the signals into a defined format, power management circuitry to power the camera system, the power management system including first and second power interfaces and first and second video output interfaces.

A UAV data processing and management system is provided including an encoder broadcaster and data manager which provides end users with a single interface for searching and sharing any video or imagery source, from any device with no client software required. Data inputs to the resource can include UAV video, photos, traffic cameras, fixed surveillance systems, iOS and Android device pictures, and other data (e.g., texts, emails) and inputs from all forms of social media, such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. The cloud based manager is built with collaboration and sharing in mind while at the same time maintaining data privacy, security protection, chain-of-custody control and audit trail maintenance. Analytic tools are integrated accordingly as plug-ins or as a store of available app resources which are easily removed, added and customized based on user needs and system requirements and cost constraints.

Image surveillance and reporting technology, in which an event that is indicative of potential physical activity within an area corresponding to a location of a camera unit is detected. In response to detection of the event, the camera unit is controlled to capture one or more images of the area corresponding to the location of the camera unit. The one or more images captured by the camera unit are analyzed to determine whether the one or more images include image data that is indicative of relevant physical activity within the area corresponding to the location of the camera unit. The one or more images are handled based on the determination of whether the one or more images include image data that is indicative of relevant physical activity within the area corresponding to the location of the camera unit.

A security camera system includes a base unit and sensor modules for generating image data. The base unit includes several mounting sockets arranged at different elevational and azimuthal directions around the base unit, and the sensor modules attach, for example, magnetically, to the mounting sockets. Each mounting socket includes a socket ID, which is used to stitch together the image data from different sensor modules. The security camera system is capable of automatic detection of the location of the sensor modules, as the socket IDs for the mounting sockets to which the sensor modules are attached are identified by various means including readable indicia and reader modules including optical codes and readers, membrane switches, optical sensors, and radio-frequency identification tags and readers.

The intrusion detection system includes a GNSS sensor that acquires a position of a work machine at work in a work area, a LiDAR that is disposed outside the work area and acquires point cloud data indicating a distance up to an object located inside or outside the work area, a position calculation unit that calculates positions of respective points of the point cloud data, a specifying unit that specifies a portion corresponding to the work machine from the point cloud data as specific data, based on the position of the work machine and the positions of the respective points of the point cloud data, and a detection unit that detects that an object has entered the work area, based on the point cloud data excluding the specific data.
