Abstract: A method and system for tracking objects in a defined area compares image data of a detected object to profiles of persons that have entered the defined area to find the best match and connect the profile of the best match to the detected object. Identification profiles of persons that have been identified, by presenting their credentials, when entering the defined area are registered as candidates and are later matched with objects detected in the defined area. The system and method use the physical access control system of the defined area to reduce the number of candidates for the detected objects to the most likely candidates. The processing time and need for resources of the object tracking in the defined area are thereby reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an emergency notification system where indicators are mounted on or in a building in such a way that optical or thermal signals emitted from the indicators form a time-variant indication detectable outside the building of an emergency event taking place inside the building. Sensors detecting a predetermined sound are mounted inside the building and are each connected to a nearby indicator. When a sensor makes a detection, it sends event information to its associated indicator which will prompt the indicator to emit a first optical or thermal signal. Based on a signal from a timer connected to the indicator, a property of the first signal will change after a certain time has passed, thereby providing the time-variant indication.
