Abstract: A security response device is capable of being held in a communications mode or a power saving mode. In the communications mode, it is capable of sending a security threat message to a base station and of receiving a response. In the power saving mode, it is capable of detecting security threats but not performing communication functions. Detection of a security threat causes the device to exit the power saving mode and enter the communications mode. The device holds a record of its arming state, but the authentic record of the device's arming state is held remotely. If the device's local arming state is armed, then the device responds without waiting for an update from the base station. If the device's local arming state is disarmed, then the device does wait for an update from the base station.

Abstract: Various proxies can be used to qualitatively or quantitatively assess welfare of a poultry flock. For example, as shown and described herein, one or more of a video-based monitoring technique or audio-based monitoring technique can be used. Such monitoring can include a video-based (e.g., image based) technique where indicia of movement of individual members of the flock are automatically tracked. In addition, or instead, an audio-based technique can be used, such as for classification of vocalization. Various metrics can be stored or reported using such techniques and one or more alerts can be generated, such as indicative of flock welfare or a change in flock welfare. Techniques described herein can include identifying paths traversed by respective members of a flock (e.g., individual animals), and then extracting indications such as corresponding to a distribution of such paths. Such paths can be defined by corresponding movement trajectories associated with individual members.
