Passing vehicle filters for audio/video (A/V) recording and communication devices in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure are provided. In one embodiment, an A/V recording and communication device is provided, the device comprising a camera configured to capture image data of an object within a field of view of the camera, wherein the field of view comprises at least one active motion zone; a communication module; and a processing module comprising: a processor; and a motion detection application that configures the processor to: detect motion of the object within the field of view; capture image data; assign an object ID; determine a speed and a direction of movement; determine an aspect ratio; create an object boundary and determine a distance between a center of the object boundary and the at least one active motion zone; and determine whether the object is a passing vehicle.

An image signal processing DSP subjects an image captured by an imaging element having a zoom lens to image processing for identifying a tracking target. In accordance with zoom information generated by the image signal processing DSP, the main CPU controls the zoom lens and controls a turn table that moves the imaging element in panning and tilting directions in accordance with pan and tilt information, to track the tracking target. During tracking of the tracking target, a determination is made, from information about movements of the tracking target generated by the image signal processing DSP, as to whether or not the target to be tracked has intruded the inside of the area from the outside. In a case where the target has intruded the inside of a preset area from the outside, an alarm command is produced when the target continually remains in the area for; e.g., one second.

An apparatus comprising an interface and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive pixel data corresponding to a monitored area. The processor may be coupled to the interface and may be configured to (i) process the pixel data arranged as video frames, (ii) perform computer vision operations to detect an object in the video frames, (iii) extract characteristics about the object detected, (iv) generate a three-dimensional (3D) map of the object utilizing the pixel data corresponding to the object, (v) determine whether the object is within a three-dimensional (3D) virtual security zone based on the 3D map of the object, and (vi) generate a trigger signal in response to all or a portion of the object being within the 3D virtual security zone. The 3D virtual security zone is generally determined by a user during a setup procedure.

A security system can use video analytics and/or other input parameters to identify a theft event. Optionally, the security system can take remedial action in response. For example, the security system can use video analytics to determine that a person has reached into a shelf multiple times at a rate above a threshold, which can indicate that a thief is quickly removing items from the shelf. The security system can also use video analytics to determine that a person has reached into a shelf via a sweeping action, which can indicate that a thief is gathering and removing a large quantity of items from the shelf in one motion. In response, the security system can alert security personnel, cause a speaker to output an audible message in the target area, flag portions of the video relating to the theft event, activate or ready other sensors or systems, and/or the like.

An UGV 1 acquires a moving image of an captured imaging area, detects a receiver of an article on the basis of frame images forming the moving image, sets, as the monitoring area, an area including at least a part of the receiver and the area at a point in time when the receiver appears, detects a outsider entering the monitoring area or a outsider heading for the monitoring area on the basis of a frame image that is temporally later than a first frame image at the point in time when the receiver appears, and executes processing for notifying the receiver of outsider detection information.

A facility monitoring system connects to a plurality of monitoring devices positioned throughout a facility. Each of the plurality of monitoring devices is coupled with a monitoring station, wherein the monitoring station is configured to generate a configuration of a display having a plurality of frames. Each frame displays information simultaneously wherein change of information in one frame automatically alters information related to at least one of the plurality of monitoring devices in another frame.

This notification device (100) of a notification system (10) detects a portion of the body of a person from distance information from a proximity sensor (110) and image information from an image sensor (120) when an approaching object is a person, and causes an ultrasonic irradiation device (130) to irradiate the detected portion of the body of the person with ultrasonic waves that can generate tactile sensation.

Disclosed is a video patrol method and apparatus. The number of alarm messages for each capture device is stored in a database. According to the number of alarm messages for each capture device, the weight corresponding to each capture device is determined. The greater the number of alarm messages for a capture device is, the greater the weight corresponding to the capture device is. The play duration corresponding to each capture device is determined according to the weights. The greater the weight corresponding to a capture device is, the longer the duration for the capture device is. The play time period for each capture device is determined according to the determined play durations. The management device controls the video wall to perform video patrol according to the determined play time period for each capture device.
