Abstract: A system may be configured to provide alarm risk score intelligence and analysis. In some aspects, the system may receive sensor information captured by one or more sensors, the sensor information indicating activity within a controlled environment, and determine an event based on the sensor information. Further, the system may receive one or more video frames from one or more video capture devices and determine context information based on the one or more video frames. Additionally, the system may modify the event based on the context information to generate an alarm and transmit a notification identifying the alarm to a monitoring device.

Abstract: A method for automatically programming a security system including a plurality of access control readers and a plurality of image sensors includes receiving user credential information from a first access control reader. A first door associated with the first access control reader is further associated with a first image sensor. A user is identified based on the user credential information and based on visual content provided by the first image sensor. Upon receiving the user credential information from one or more access control readers of the plurality of access control readers different from the first access control reader, the user is reidentified based on visual content provided by the plurality of the image sensors. The image sensor that provided the visual content used for reidentification of the user is associated with a door associated with the access control reader that provided the user credential information.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods for verifying video authenticity using blockchain. An implementation may include receiving a video clip from a first source and generating a genesis block of a blockchain, wherein the genesis block includes the video clip, metadata of the video clip, and a first hash value of both the video clip and the metadata. The implementation includes distributing the blockchain to a plurality of nodes in a blockchain network. The implementation includes for each indication received of activity performed on the video clip to be recorded on the blockchain, verifying the activity and generating a new block on the blockchain recording the activity. The implementation includes receiving a modified version of the video clip, verifying an authenticity of the modified version based on each activity recorded in the blockchain, and in response to determining that the modified version is not authentic, generating an alert indicating inauthenticity.

Abstract: A method for recording mail screening process includes receiving, by a processor of a recording device, a first image of a mail item placed into an inspection zone of a mail screening device from a first image sensor of the mail screening device. A video stream capturing screening of the mail item is received by the processor of the recording device from a second image sensor of the mail screening device. The first image of the mail item and the video stream of the mail item are analyzed by the recording device to determine if the mail item contains a security threat. A notification is generated, by the processor of the recording device, in response to determining that the mail item contains the security threat.

Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for managing security events via a graphical user interface (GUI), comprising receiving an indication of a first security event occurring in an environment, determining a priority value of the first security event, and creating a first identifier of the first security event, wherein the first identifier is a visual icon of a given shape. The implementations further include assigning a size and color to the first identifier of the first security event based on the priority value and generating, for display on the GUI, the first identifier of the first security event, wherein the GUI is configured to display identifiers of one or more security events in a selectable layout of a plurality of selectable layouts, wherein selection of the first identifier generates a panel of selectable actions that can be executed to address the first security event.

Abstract: An access control system (ACS) captures a screenshot of a portion of a computer display of the ACS, the portion displaying one or more images of an area of interest of the ACS. The ACS detects a face of a person in the captured screenshot. For at least one detected face, the ACS identifies one or more candidate identities based on recognizing the at least one detected face. The ACS then displays, on the computer display, each candidate identity.
