  • Publication number: 20260087816
    Abstract: A building security system includes instructions that cause processors to: receive, from a camera, video data, retrieve contextual information associated with the camera, analyze, using one or more artificial intelligence models, frames within the video data, wherein the analysis of the frames includes detection of an object of interest, determine, using the one or more AI models based upon the contextual information and the analysis of the frames, a first setting for the camera for a first time, wherein the first setting determines a first compression amount applied to the video data, and determine, using the one or more AI models based upon the contextual information and the analysis of the one or more frames, a second setting for the camera for a second time, wherein the second setting determines a second compression amount applied to the video data that is different from the first compression amount.

  • Publication number: 20260087820
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a system, apparatus, and method for bag identification. For example, the system may obtain a plurality of images from one or more image capturing devices within a geographic area. The system may further identify a bag within the plurality of images. The system may further determine whether the plurality of images includes a person associated with the bag and within a distance of the bag. The system may further identify a period of time the person has not been within the distance of the bag. The system may further determining whether the period of time the person has not been within the distance of the bag satisfies an abandoned bag threshold value; and The system may further generate an indication representing an abandoned bag state.

  • Patent number: 12520077
    Abstract: A system may be configured to implement directional audio capture via digital signal processing on audio captured by an array of microphones. In some aspects, the system may include a video capture device, a microphone array coupled to the video capture device, and a processing device. Further, the processing device may be configured to determine directional instruction information for the microphone array, the directional instruction information corresponding to a virtual capture direction for the microphone array, and generate a digital signal processing (DSP) plan based on the virtual capture direction. In addition, the processing device may be further configured to apply the processing plan to the plurality of audio captures captured by the microphone array to produce an audio output corresponding to the virtual capture direction.

  • Patent number: 12498898
    Abstract: A system may be configured to implement directional audio playback via digital signal processing on recorded audio. In some aspects, the system may include a processing device. Further, the processing device may be configured to select audio information for audio playback, the audio information including a plurality of audio captures of a microphone array, and determine directional instruction information for the audio playback, the directional instruction information identifying a virtual playback direction. In addition, the processing device may be further configured to generate a digital signal processing (DSP) plan based on the virtual playback direction, and apply the processing plan to the plurality of audio captures to produce the audio playback corresponding to the virtual playback direction.

  • Patent number: 12354426
    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.

  • Patent number: 12154402
    Abstract: A method of access control includes receiving an access request transaction from one of a first identity sensor. Current confidence information is determined for the access request transaction. Prior confidence information is determined for at least one prior access request transaction associated with the user from at least one second identity sensor. A total confidence score value is generated based on a confidence function applied to the current confidence information and the prior confidence information. The total confidence score value is compared with a confidence threshold value for the secure resource associated with the access request transaction. Access to the secure resource is granted, in response to determining that the total confidence score value meets the confidence threshold value. The access to the secure resource is denied, in response to determining that the total confidence score value does not meet the confidence threshold value.
