Abstract: Disclosed is an area monitoring system including a camera module having configured to generate an output representative of a captured image and/or a video of an area including a object. The system includes a state machine including an inference engine configured to: identify and track an object; establish a state and/or a change in state of an object via machine vision inferencing; and generate an output representative of an object identification, an object state, and/or a change in an object's state. The state machine module includes a mapping engine configured to: process the camera module output to assign coordinates to an object contained in an image and/or a video based on a coordinate system of a computer vision map of an area; apply a timestamp in connection with assigning coordinates an object; and generate a coordinate timeseries log for plural coordinate-timestamp pairs.
