A system may comprise a registration device configured to register patterns for users; a recording device configured to record a received pattern, as an electronic pattern, wherein the recording device recognizes the received pattern as one of the registered patterns; a receiving device configured to observe human movement patterns with a camera, transform the observed human movement patterns to an electronic signal, and receive the recognized registered pattern from the recording device by a first wireless transmission; a forwarding device configured to transmit the electronic signal, and the received recognized registered pattern to an alert service by a second wireless transmission; and an alert service, configured to receive the electronic signal and the received recognized registered pattern from the forwarding device and configured to transmit the electronic signal and the received recognized registered pattern to a second electronic device by a third wireless transmission.

A gunshot detection system includes gunshot sensor units with microphones for detecting gunshots and capturing audio data depicting the detected gunshots and other ambient sounds, an environmental board with various environmental sensors for generating environmental data indicating environmental conditions. The audio data, environmental data, and position information can be stored locally on local nonvolatile storage of the gunshot sensor unit for later retrieval by law enforcement entities. In one embodiment, the gunshot sensor units include a wired and/or wireless data transfer interface for transferring the audio data, environmental data and/or position information to handheld units of law enforcement entities. The gunshot sensor unit can also stream live captured audio data for live monitoring by a control panel, and might also include speakers for providing audio playback of audio data from the control panel.

According to one aspect, a computer-implemented method for detecting an earthquake includes detecting vibrations in a trackpad of a computing device using an inductive element and force sensing circuitry of the trackpad and, processing, by a microcontroller of the computing device, the vibrations for detection of an earthquake vibration signal. In response to detecting the earthquake vibration signal, communicating, by the computing device, the earthquake vibration signal to a remote server and receiving, at the computing device, an earthquake alert from the remote server.

A computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a base station of a first security system, an identification of a portable security system. The method further includes adding, by the base station, the portable security system as a sensor to a plurality of sensors monitored by the first security system. The method further includes configuring, by the base station, the portable security system in protect-mode, wherein the portable security system sounds an alarm in response to a sensor from the second system indicating a security-breach. The method further includes in response to the alarm from the portable security system, generating, by the base station, an alarm event of the first security system.

The present invention is a system for roof top monitoring that includes a main body housing primary components that are operatively associated with a computer and communications system configured for each of monitoring the primary components and broadcasting an alert based on actuation of any of the primary components.

A light socket surveillance system can be used to enable a first party to communicate with a second party. The light socket surveillance system can be used to detect an audible notification from the first party. In response to detecting the audible notification from the first party, the light socket surveillance system can initiate a communication session with a remote computing device of the second party.

A vehicle with an emergency reporting function includes a processor, a vehicle communication device, a first calling device, and a vehicle outside occupant detector. The processor determines, by means of the vehicle outside occupant detector, whether an occupant who has been present inside the vehicle before an emergency is present inside the vehicle or outside the vehicle after the emergency. If the occupant is present inside the vehicle after the emergency, the processor uses the first calling device to enable a communication between an occupant inside the vehicle and an operator terminal. If the occupant is present outside the vehicle after the emergency, the processor additionally uses a second calling device to enable a communication between an occupant present outside or inside the vehicle and the operator terminal. The second calling device allows for a communication outside the vehicle.

Methods and systems for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle control, routing, and automatic feature adjustment are disclosed. Sensors associated with autonomous operation features may be utilized to search an area for missing persons, stolen vehicles, or similar persons or items of interest. Sensor data associated with the features may be automatically collected and analyzed to passively search for missing persons or vehicles without vehicle operator involvement. Search criteria may be determined by a remote server and communicated to a plurality of vehicles within a search area. In response to which, sensor data may be collected and analyzed by the vehicles. When sensor data generated by a vehicle matches the search criteria, the vehicle may communicate the information to the remote server.

A method for monitoring a dangerous situation in a space based on a frequency response pattern according to an embodiment includes loading, by a processing unit of a mobile terminal located in the arbitrary space, a setting value corresponding to an operational mode selected through control software installed on the mobile terminal, controlling, by the processing unit, a speaker of the mobile terminal to generate a frequency corresponding to the loaded setting value, receiving the frequency which was generated in the controlling and reflected in the space through a microphone of the mobile terminal, determining, by the processing unit, whether the dangerous situation occurred in the space by comparing the frequency response pattern with a preset reference value, and taking, by the processing unit, a follow-up action when it is determined that the dangerous situation occurred in the space by the determining.

A refuse vehicle comprising a chassis, a body assembly coupled to the chassis, the body assembly defining a refuse compartment, and a thermal event monitoring system comprising a sampling element configured to detect a thermal event associated with the refuse vehicle indicating at least one of a fire or an overheating component and transmit a notification in response to detecting the thermal event.
