Patent number: 10764539Abstract: A system and method for determining relationships between fields of views of surveillance cameras is disclosed. In the system, a user device such as a mobile phone receives image data from the cameras, and an analytics system of the user device analyzes the image data to determine the relationships between the fields of views of the surveillance cameras. The relationships include overlap among fields of view of at least two of the cameras and deadzones, where deadzones are areas monitored by the cameras that are not included within any of the fields of view of any of the cameras. In a preferred embodiment, the surveillance cameras capture image data of a scene while an installer holding the user device walks one or more critical paths through the scene. The user device then analyzes image data from the cameras during the critical path definition to determine any overlap and/or deadzones.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Sensormatic Electronics, LLCInventors: Anthony Burke, Peter Joseph Birkel

Patent number: 10733231Abstract: A system and method for modeling and distributing image data of interest to users is disclosed. Users on user devices such as mobile phones send request messages for image data captured by surveillance cameras of the system. The request messages include information for selecting the image data, such as camera number and time of recording of the image data, in examples. In response, an application server of the system collects the image data from the surveillance cameras, and supplies image data to the users based on a model that the application server creates and updates for each of the users. The model ranks image data of potential interest for each of the users, where the model is based on the information for selecting the image data provided by the users. Preferably, a machine learning application of the application server creates the model for each of the users.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Sensormatic Electronics, LLCInventor: Anthony Burke

Patent number: 10665071Abstract: A system and method for deadzone detection in a surveillance camera network is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, a mobile user device held by an installer is moved through one or more critical paths within the premises while surveillance cameras of the network are capturing image data of the premises. An analytics system then tracks the installer/user device through the image data over the time interval for the critical path definition, and locates deadzones based on position information of the premises along the critical path and absence of installer/user device in the image data over the time interval. In another embodiment, an analytics system identifies individuals within image data captured from the cameras, tracks movement of the individuals across the fields of view of the cameras represented by the image data, and infers deadzones based on tracking the individuals and deadzone times calculated for each of the individuals.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: SENSORMATIC ELECTRONICS, LLCInventors: Anthony Burke, Peter Joseph Birkel

Patent number: 10475315Abstract: A method and system for configuring surveillance cameras can be used to leverage emerging trends in surveillance camera systems, while also enabling the configuration of cameras to operate in such systems. The method comprises displaying configuration images on mobile computing devices and enabling the cameras to view and capture those images within image data. The configuration images are then derived from image data from the surveillance cameras using integrated or separate analytics systems. Then, configuration information from the mobile device can be paired with corresponding surveillance cameras by reference to the configuration images. In one example, cloud image data storage is allocated as part of this setup and configuration process.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Sensormatic Electronics, LLCInventors: Piero Madar, Anthony Burke, Scott Humphreys

Patent number: 10347102Abstract: A surveillance camera and image data storage system is disclosed. The system includes surveillance cameras that generate image data. Each of the surveillance cameras calculates a self priority value for uploading the image data and sends its self priority value over a local network to the other surveillance cameras. Within each surveillance camera, a rules engine compares its self priority value and the self priority values from the other surveillance cameras to determine whether to upload the image data over the network to a remote storage system or to save the image data within each surveillance camera. This functions as an arbitration system implemented at the level of the individual cameras to arbitrate uploading of the image data, which limits network bandwidth. In another example, each surveillance camera calculates its self priority value in response to receiving security events from other security devices over a network.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Sensormatic Electronics, LLCInventor: Anthony Burke

Patent number: 10318836Abstract: A system and method of designating regions of interest for surveillance cameras is disclosed. The system enables definition of regions of interest simultaneously across multiple cameras. This is useful when the cameras are positioned to monitor the same region of interest within their scenes. Each camera monitors image data for designation of regions of interest, stores the regions of interest, and analyzes the image data from the cameras based on the regions of interest. Preferably, each camera has an integrated analytics system for analyzing the image data based on the regions of interest. A setup process between a user device (e.g. mobile phone) and the cameras enables definition of the regions of interest. In embodiments, the regions of interest are defined in response to the cameras tracking either the user device or an optical device as an operator moves the devices to outline the regions of interest within the scene.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Sensormatic Electronics, LLCInventors: Anthony Burke, Peter Joseph Birkel, Scott Humphreys
