Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for monitoring events using a Virtual Inductive Loop system. In some implementations, image data is obtained from cameras. A region depicted in the obtained image data is identified, the region comprising lines spaced by a distance that satisfies a distance threshold. For each line included in the region: an object depicted crossing the line is determined whether to satisfy a height criteria indicating that the line is activated. In response to determining that an object depicted crossing the line satisfies the height criteria, an event is determined to have likely occurred using data indicating (i) which lines of the lines were activated and (ii) an order in which each of the lines were activated. In response to determining that an event likely occurred, actions are performed using at least some of the data.

An application gateway including application service programming positioned at a user premises can provide voice controlled and managed services to a user and one or more endpoint devices associated with the application gateway. The application gateway can be controlled remotely by the application service provider through a service management center and configured to execute an application service provided from the application service provider. The application gateway can execute the application service at the user premises upon voice command by a user and independent of application services executing on the application service provider's network. An application service logic manager can communicate with an application service enforcement manager to verify that the request conforms with the policy and usage rules associated with the application service in order to authorize execution of the application service on the application gateway, either directly or through endpoint devices.

A client device is configured to communicate with an access point over a wireless network, exchanging data with the access point over a selected communication channel. The client device stores an identifier of the selected communication channel. After the wireless connection to the access point has ended, the client device initiates a process to reconnect to the access point over the selected communication channel using the stored identifier.

Methods, systems, and devices that support techniques for a smart monitoring system are described. A system may monitor a physical environment using a camera-enabled device operating in a first mode of a set of modes. The system may determine one or more parameters based on the monitoring. The parameters may include an identity of an entity, a behavior of the entity, or a setting of the security and automation system, or any combination thereof. The system may perform an operation based on the one or more parameters. The techniques described herein may deter an intruder from an intended action (e.g., theft, property damage, etc.) and/or provide lighting to a user of the security and automation system, among other benefits.

A method of detecting and responding to a visitor to a smart home environment via an electronic greeting system of the smart home environment, including determining that a visitor is approaching an entryway of the smart home environment; initiating a facial recognition operation while the visitor is approaching the entryway; initiating an observation window in response to the determination that a visitor is approaching the entryway; obtaining context information from one or more sensors of the smart home environment during the observation window; and at the end of the time window, initiating a response to the detected approach of the visitor based on the context information and/or an outcome of the facial recognition operation.

The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for providing event alerts. In one aspect, a method includes: (1) receiving a plurality of video frames from a camera, the plurality of video frames including a motion event candidate; (2) categorizing the motion event candidate by processing the plurality of video frames, the categorizing including: (a) associating the motion event candidate with a first category of a plurality of motion event categories; and (b) generating a confidence level for the association of the motion event candidate with the first category; and (3) sending an alert indicative of the first category and the confidence level to a user associated with the camera.

Methods and systems for identifying watchers of an object of interest at an incident scene. One method includes receiving, with an electronic processor, an object identifier corresponding to the object of interest. The method includes determining a watcher status for the object of interest. The method includes generating a notification based on the watcher status and the object identifier. The method includes transmitting, with a communication interface communicatively coupled to the electronic processor, the notification to an available watcher at the incident scene.

Systems and methods for building management utilizing adaptive edge processing are disclosed. The building system can store gateway components on storage devices. The gateway components can facilitate communication with a cloud platform and facilitate communication with a physical building device. The building system can identify a computing system of the building that is in communication with the physical building device. The physical building device can store one or more data samples. The building system can deploy the gateway components to the computing system responsive to identifying that the computing system is in communication with the physical building device. The gateway components can cause the computing system to communicate with the physical building device to receive the one or more data samples and cause the computing system to communicate the one or more data samples to the cloud platform.

Disclosed herein are an apparatus, method, and computer-readable medium for detecting an anomalous behavior event for an environment and transmitting an alert of the event. An implementation may comprise detecting, in a plurality of image frames captured by a camera, when a person enters a region of interest, tracking movements of the person in the region of interest by comparing images of the person in the plurality of image frames, determining attributes of the person, determining environmental contexts for the region of interest, determining whether or not an anomalous behavior is detected based on the movements and the attributes of the person and the environmental contexts, generating an alert when the anomalous behavior is detected, and transmitting the generated alert to user devices of one or more predetermined recipients.

By performing a simple operation on an information processing terminal, a direction of a subject desired to be viewed by a user 40 can be smoothly displayed from various directions. An acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of pieces of moving image data, a data generating unit that generates still image data for each of the plurality of pieces of moving image data, a storage unit that stores the still image data in association with position data and time data, a designated value accepting unit that accepts a position designation value in the still image data desired to be viewed by a user, and a selection unit that selects the still image data on the basis of the position designation value accepted by the designated value accepting unit and transmits the selected still image data to an external display device via a communication network are included, and the selection unit selects the still image data corresponding to the position designation value that has already been designated in a case in which the designated value accepting unit has not accepted the position designation value and selects the corresponding still image data on the basis of a change in the position designation value by using the time data as a reference in a case in which the designated value accepting unit has accepted the position designation value.
