Systems and methods for surveillance of a facility including facility elements. The system includes a central computing unit providing a digital model of the facility providing topological or logical or functional relationships of the facility elements, surveillance sensors adapted for surveillance of a plurality of the facility elements and for generation of surveillance data, communication means for transmitting data from the surveillance sensors to the central computing unit, and state derivation means configured to analyse the surveillance data and derive a state of a respective facility element. The central computing unit is configured to record a state pattern by combining states of at least one facility element based on at least one relationship of the facility element provided by the facility model, provide a state pattern critical-noncritical classification model which considers relationships provided by the facility model, and perform a criticality-classification based on the relationship.

A setting assistance device includes an acquisition unit, a calculation unit and a determination unit. The acquisition unit acquires coordinates designated by a user for an image capturing a three-dimensional space. The calculation unit calculates coordinates of a position located at a predetermined distance from a position of a part of the three-dimensional space relating to the acquired coordinates. The determination unit determines a region set for the acquired coordinates based on the calculated coordinates.

Methods, systems, devices and computer readable media for identifying a video camera of a video surveillance system are provided. A plurality of video streams of a plurality of video cameras are obtained. At least one video camera of the plurality of video cameras captures a visual identifier outputted by a mobile device. The visual identifier is detected in at least one video stream of the plurality of video streams based on searching for the visual identifier in the plurality of video streams. The at least one video camera capturing the visual identifier is identified from the at least one video stream having the visual identifier detected therein. Identification information of the at least one video camera capturing the visual identifier is transmitted to the mobile device.

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.

The acquisition unit acquires coordinates designated by a user for an image capturing a three-dimensional space. The calculation unit calculates coordinates of a position located at a predetermined distance from a position of a part of the three-dimensional space relating to the acquired coordinates. The determination unit determines a region set for the acquired coordinates based on the calculated coordinates.

A method for reducing alarm notifications from a security system deploying a plurality of cameras within a monitored area includes processing a first video stream captured by the first camera of the security system to detect an alarm event observed in the Field of View (FOV) of the first camera and processing a second video stream captured by a second camera of the security system to detect the same alarm event observed in the FOV of the second camera. A combined alarm notification corresponding to the alarm event is sent, wherein the combined alarm notification includes the alarm event and may identify the first camera and the second camera as both detecting the same alarm event in their respective FOVs.

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 information processing device (1) includes: a transmission unit (32) that transmits, on the basis of rule information set in advance and a sensing result by a sensor (2) that senses environment information on a predetermined area, notification information based on the sensing result to a terminal device (10); a reception unit (31) that receives, from the terminal device (10), feedback information for the notification information transmitted by the transmission unit (32); and an update unit (57) that updates the rule information on the basis of the feedback information received by the reception unit (31).

A computer system for digital video alarm guard tour monitoring. The computer system includes a computer having non-transitory memory for storing machine instructions that are to be executed by the computer. The machine instructions when executed by the computer implement the following functions: receiving one or more guard tour parameters; identifying a plurality of digital frames in response to the one or more guard tour parameters; motion analyzing the plurality of digital frames to detect motion between the plurality of digital frames; object analyzing the plurality of digital frames to detect an object and an object class of the object in response to detecting the motion; and transmitting a guard tour event and the plurality of digital frames to an alarm server in response to determining the object class is associated with an alarm analytics tag.
