The conventional image surveillance technologies relevant to the present invention had the potential of failing in detect ion due to the intrusion duration time being set too long and thereby allowing an intruder to pass a warning line before the preset intrusion duration had elapsed. The intrusion detection device according to the present invention is provided with: a detect ion means that detects, in an image, an intrusion position in a specific region by an object that has intruded into the specific region; and a control means that associates the intrusion position with a prescribed time period, wherein the detection means outputs an alert when the object, in the image, has stayed in the specific region for the prescribed time period or longer.

Embodiments include systems and methods comprising a gateway located at a premise forming at least one network on the premise that includes a plurality of premise devices. A sensor user interface (SUI) is coupled to the gateway and presented to a user via a remote device. The SUI includes at least one display element. The at least one display element includes a floor plan display that represents at least one floor of the premise. The floor plan display visually and separately indicates a location and a current state of each premise device of the plurality of premise devices.

The invention refers to the area of data visualization on the terrain map, and more specifically to the analysis of video data received from cameras linked to an interactive terrain map for subsequent display in real time of all objects moving in the frame on the mentioned terrain map. A system for displaying the moving objects on the interactive terrain map comprising multiple video cameras, an object tracker, data processing and storage device that has a graphical user interface (GUI). GUI comprising a display unit, a unit for setting the interactive map, a unit for setting the video camera viewing angle. The data processing and storage device is configured to receive the video data from the video cameras, as well as metadata of all moving objects from the object tracker, analyze the received video data and object metadata, display the real image moving object in real time on an interactive map at location on the map where this object is currently moving. The image location on the map and the image of the moving object itself change in real time based on the video data and metadata of the moving object. The interactive map displays all moving objects that fall within the field of vision of any of the video cameras linked to the map, for which the user has preset the viewing angle.

A monitoring camera video sharing system includes a user terminal for viewing of video data of a monitoring camera, and a server for storing access permission data including first user information and monitoring camera information. The first user information includes an access right to the video data of the monitoring camera, and the monitoring camera information indicates information of the monitoring camera. The server updates the access permission data by adding an access right to the video data of the selected monitoring camera to second user information based on sharing processing of the access permission data to the second user information, and sets the video data of the selected monitoring camera linked to the access permission data and specified by the monitoring camera information such that the video data of the selected monitoring camera is accessible by the user terminal based on the second user information.

System and method of configuring a recorder using a mobile device that includes powering on a recorder, wherein the recorder is configured to receive and store surveillance data from surveillance cameras, pairing the recorder to a mobile device via a Bluetooth connection, and using the mobile device and the Bluetooth connection to configure one or more settings of the recorder.

In a monitoring system, a master device stores setting information indicating a detection area of a target detected by a sensor in a storage unit, and transmits the setting information to a camera (a baby monitoring camera) having a sensor built thereinto or correlated with a sensor so as to set a detection parameter including the detection area therein. When a predetermined state set by the detection parameter is detected inside the detection area by the camera, a master device transmits detection notification information to a smartphone, and the smartphone displays a detection information screen based on the detection notification information transmitted from the master device on a display/input unit.

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.

A computer implemented method includes receiving one or more user set preferences for detecting a hub alarm condition and one or more actions to perform in response to detecting a hub alarm condition, receiving, from the output of the security panel, data indicating that a traditional alarm condition occurred, based on receiving data indicating a traditional alarm condition occurred at the monitored property, receiving sensor data from at least one wireless sensor in a vicinity of a hardwired sensor associated with the traditional alarm condition, determining, based on the sensor data received from at least one wireless sensor in a vicinity of the hardwired sensor associated the traditional alarm condition, that the sensor data satisfies a condition, and in response to determining that the sensor data satisfies a condition, performing an action.

Techniques disclosed herein enable automated home security monitoring via a television connected to a set-top box, such as a cable set-top box. Such techniques integrate the television with a home security system. A television viewer can use the television to control, interact, and automatically receive information about home security events in real-time. A television viewer can control lighting, and room temperature, and arm/disarm sensors in the home such as door sensors, motion detectors, cameras, etc, as well as access camera images. Events from such sensors can be monitored or viewed on the television set when they are triggered. For example, when triggered, an icon representing the sensor can be shown on the television screen, or in case of a camera, an image or video can be shown that cause the triggered event.

The description relates to cameras, such as security cameras, and providing guidance for positioning cameras to achieve desired goals. One example can receive an image of a scene overlaid with transparent indicators that reflect accuracy of object detection in individual regions of the image. The example can correlate input received from the user on the display relative to the regions. The example can analyze subsequent images of the scene with rules derived from the input from the user.
