Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, devices, systems and computer-executable instructions for managing software in threat-monitoring systems. One such method comprises receiving a plurality of licence identifiers identifying respective licences available for assignment to a threat monitoring system. The method further comprises receiving a selection of at least one of the licence identifiers. The method also comprises uploading, to the threat monitoring system, an activation tool for activating at least one operational function of the threat monitoring system, the at least one operational function corresponding to the selected at least one licence identifier.

Abstract: A method and system of intrusion detection, which includes displaying sensing device output data as an image of a field of view of a sensing device. Through interaction with a GUI: a user input defines an image detection area in relation to the image of the field of view, the image detection area being correlated to a detection area to be monitored for intrusion detection. A user input defining a detection vector in the image detection area is received, specifying a predetermined minimum displacement and displacement direction in the field of view. A graphical representation of the vector may be displayed on the image detection area. A target object is detected and tracked through the detection area and it is determined whether the progressive displacement of the target object has a component exceeding the minimum displacement in the direction of the vector.

Abstract: An intrusion detection system comprises at least two detectors. Each detector is configured to produce a detection output. At least one information module is configured to produce metadata that relates to the performance of one or more of the at least two detectors. An analysis module is configured to produce a combined alarm signal. The combined alarm signal is a function of the plurality of detection outputs from the at least two detectors and the metadata. The metadata may include information relating to adverse conditions that reduce detection performance of one or more of the detectors. The at least two detectors preferably include at least one video motion detector and a passive infrared detector.

Abstract: A method and system of intrusion detection, which includes displaying sensing device output data as one or more images of a field of view of a sensing device (14.1, 14.2, 14.3). Through interaction with a graphical user interface: a user input to define and display an image detection area in relation to the one or more images of the field of view is received, wherein the image detection area is correlated to a detection area to be monitored by the sensing device (14.1, 14.2, 14.3) for intrusion detection. One or more user inputs that define a detection vector in the image detection area are received, the detection vector specifying a predetermined minimum displacement and direction of displacement in the field of view to be monitored. A graphical representation of the detection vector may be displayed on the image detection area.
