A surveillance camera is a dome type surveillance camera and includes a base, a connecting member connected to the base, a plurality of cameras connected to the connecting member such that imaging directions of the cameras move in an elevation angle direction with respect to the base, and a dome type cover fixed to the base so as to cover the connecting member and the plurality of cameras. One camera, out of the plurality of cameras, moves such that the imaging direction of the one camera is aligned with a top of the cover.

A prohibited object detection system detects prohibited objects in a patient room. An image of an object detected in a room of a patient is initially collected. The system identifies reference points on the object, for example, points along the contours of the object. The system may compare the reference points to reference points of images associated with prohibited objects. The system then determines, based on the comparison, if the object is a prohibited object. One or more designated recipients may be alerted if the object is a prohibited object. The system may also register the object in a database of prohibited objects.

Disclosed is a system that performs motion analysis in a field of interest. The system may include at least one gateway disposable proximal to the field of interest. Further, the system may include a plurality of motion sensors. Further, a motion sensor may include a photodetector array, a processor and a wireless transmitter. Further, the wireless transmitter may be configured to transmit the digital information to at least one of a motion sensor of the plurality of motion sensors and the at least one gateway. Additionally, the system may include a plurality of video cameras disposable at a plurality of key locations in the field of interest. Further, at least one video camera may be further configured to transmit a part of a corresponding image sequence to at least one of the remote monitoring center through the at least one gateway.

A plurality of nodes installed throughout a building each include a wall-mounted unit supported by an in-wall electrical box, a connection inside said in-wall electrical box between the wall-mounted unit and the building's mains-power wiring system, and a power line communications transceiver for communication with the other nodes through the mains-power wiring system. The nodes includes respective speakers, and are operable in a music playing mode in which music data is streamed over the mains-power wiring system to two or more nodes in different rooms of the building for simultaneous audio playback therein. The wall mounted unit includes a panel mounted over the in-wall electrical box and a plurality of light sources positioned to emit light from perimeter edges of the panel to provide a wall illumination effect on the wall surface surrounding the control panel and the electrical box.

An unauthorized visitor system collects an image of a person detected in a room of a patient. The system identifies reference points on the person's face, for example, points along the cheeks, jowls, and/or brow. The system may compare the reference points to reference points of images associated with registered visitors. The system then determines, based on the comparison, if the person is a registered visitor. One or more designated recipients may be alerted if the person is not a registered visitor or if the person breaches a patient identification zone established around a particular patient. The system may also register the person in a database of visitors.

A first camera sends a first detection notification to a master device when detecting a person in a first imaging area, and starts transmission of a captured video of the first imaging area to the master device by shifting an operation mode from a sleep mode to a standby mode. The master device notifies a camera other than the first camera of a shift instruction to the standby mode in accordance with the first detection notification. The other camera shifts the operation mode from the sleep mode to the standby mode in accordance with the shift instruction to the standby mode, and starts buffering of a captured video of a second imaging area, and when detecting the person in the second imaging area in the standby mode, the other camera sends a second detection notification of the person to the master device, and starts transmission of the captured video of the second imaging area buffered before a first predetermined time period after a point of time at which the person is detected in the second imaging area, to the master device.

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.

The present invention relates to security systems, and more particularly to a theft deterrent surveillance system comprised of a plurality of tablet type computers, each having a tablet holder that both protects the tablet and allows it to be mounted onto a supporting structure for hands-free use. The tablet holder preferably includes a video lens adapter which may be utilized to advance the video imaging quality or alter the field of view. The tablet security system allows each tablet to be mounted where needed in a commercial setting for use as a surveillance camera and recorder which may be wired or wirelessly linked to a local network and server.
