Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for visually conveying a percept. The percept may represent information learned by a video surveillance system. A request may be received to view a percept for a specified scene. The percept may have been derived from data streams generated from a sequence of video frames depicting the specified scene captured by a video camera. A visual representation of the percept may be generated. A user interface may be configured to display the visual representation of the percept and to allow a user to view and/or modify metadata attributes with the percept. For example, the user may label a percept and set events matching the percept to always (or never) result in alert being generated for users of the video surveillance system.

Abstract: Disclosed is a LED light assembly that accommodates series connected surface mounted LEDs. An LED lighting source comprising surface mounted LEDs can be inserted and removed from a socket to allow replacement of burned out LEDs. The LED lighting source contains all of the components for controlling the intensity and color of the emitted light. In addition, the electrical components may receive control signals to control the output of the surface mounted LEDs. Connectors disposed in a socket are made of spring steel that causes the connectors to contact each other when the LED lighting source becomes loose from the socket or is removed.
