  • Patent number: 9445252
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a service at an incident scene is provided herein. During operation, a device will enter a geographic area (e.g., an incident scene), join a local-area network (LAN), and determine what services are presently being offered by other devices on the LAN. From a list of services deployed on the device, a determination is then made as to what services the device will run, and those services are then offered to all devices on the LAN.

  • Patent number: 8837906
    Abstract: A video tagging method, a video analytics method, and a Computer Assisted Dispatch (CAD) system use incident reports for video tagging and searching. A CAD system is integrated with field-based video surveillance systems to aid in searching video content and subsequent tagging of the video content. The systems and methods can include extracting keywords from a CAD incident report and creating a small, focused, and incident-specific dictionary on which to perform video searching in real-time. The small, focused, and incident-specific dictionary increases tagging accuracy and reduces tagging processing time in the context of video analytics. Further, a multi-pass approach in real-time continually updates and disseminates to video cameras of interest the small, focused, and incident-specific dictionary as the CAD incident report is updated and as the incident of interest plays out.
