Abstract: An intelligent face recognition system for an installed security system can include a camera and a local or remote video processor including a face recognition engine. The video processor can be configured to receive the image information from the one or more cameras, and generate an alert for communication to a user device based on a recognition event in the environment. In an example, the face recognition engine is configured to apply machine learning to analyze images from the camera and determine whether the images include or correspond to an enrolled face, and the face recognition engine is configured to provide the recognition event based on the determination.

Abstract: The invention is based, in part, on a system and method designed to be able to easily and automatically scale up to millions of cameras and users.

Abstract: The invention is based, in part, on a system for allowing at least one client to real-time monitor and, or playback at least one real-world recognized event via at least one processor-controlled video camera, said system comprising: a processor; a non-transitory storage medium coupled to the processor; encoded instructions stored in the non-transitory storage medium, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: detect a threshold-grade event from audio-video data of a real-world environment captured from a processor-controlled video camera by an event detection module within an event management system applying event detection parameters; analyze the threshold-grade event for categorization into any one of a recognized event by an event recognition module within the event management system applying event recognition parameters; transmit at least any one of a single stream of the recognized event and, or a single stream of a audio-video sequence succeeding and, or preceding the recognized event

Abstract: A wire guide and methods for making the same is provided. The method includes joining a proximal core wire comprised of a stiff material to a distal core wire comprised of a highly elastic wire material. The proximal core wire may have a recess at a distal face and the distal core wire is secured within the recess. The recess may be machined into the distal face of the proximal core wire. The distal core wire may be a coaxial wire having a sleeve of material that is easily weldable to the proximal core wire. The sleeve is welded to the proximal core wire and a distal portion of the sleeve is then removed to expose the distal core wire.

Abstract: This specification generally relates to methods and algorithms for detection of chemical, biological, and/or radiological attacks. The methods use one or more sensors that can have visual, audio, and/or thermal sensing abilities and can use algorithms to determine by behavior patterns of people whether there has been a chemical, biological and/or radiological attack.

Abstract: Methods of monitoring real-world environments using a plurality of processor controlled Internet video cameras, scalable cloud computing technology, and various Internet connected smartphones and tablet computers. The system is designed to use cloud computing technology, including automated service provisioning, automated virtual machine migration services, RESTful API, and various firewall traversing methods to scale to up to millions of cameras and beyond. The integrity of the system is maintained by requiring that the various video cameras continually send “heartbeat” camera status messages to the cloud servers. The video cameras can optionally also be configured to automatically detect various events occurring in their local environments, report these events to clients, and stream event video data either directly or indirectly to the clients, or alternatively save the video data in various scalable third party cloud storage systems such as the Amazon S3 service.
