  • Patent number: 11962697
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods for tracking chain of custody of a security camera using blockchain. An implementation may comprise receiving and granting a request for custody of a security camera by a first operator. The implementation further includes generating a block of a blockchain comprising identifiers of the first operator, security camera, and timestamp. The implementation includes distributing the blockchain to a plurality of nodes in a blockchain network. For each indication received of activity associated with usage and custody of the security camera to be recorded on the blockchain, the implementation includes generating a new block on the blockchain recording the activity. The implementation further includes receiving and verifying an authenticity a video clip from the security camera based on each activity recorded in the blockchain. In response to determining that the video clip is not authentic, the implementation includes generating an alert indicating inauthenticity.

  • Publication number: 20240119146
    Abstract: A method for communication between a plurality of security sensors includes identifying and tracking a potential security threat by a first security sensor. One or more security sensors located within a predefined proximity of the first security sensor are identified by the first security sensor. Status information and location information of each of the one or more security sensors are received by the first security sensor. A second security sensor is selected from the one or more security sensors based on the status information and the location information. The second security sensor is configured to track the potential security threat. Information related to the potential security threat is transmitted by the first security sensor to the second security sensor.

  • Publication number: 20240021064
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods for providing evacuation guidance. An implementation may determine a last known location of a person in an environment under evacuation. An implementation may calculate, for the person, an exit time for evacuating the environment based on an amount of time needed by the person to exit the environment starting from the last known location. An implementation may monitor whether the person has evacuated the environment. An implementation may determine whether a current time has passed the exit time. An implementation may transmit an alert to a device of the person in response to determining that the current time has passed the exit time and that the person has not evacuated the environment.

  • Publication number: 20230319238
    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.

  • Patent number: 9462227
    Abstract: A videoconference multipoint control unit (MCU) automatically generates display layouts for videoconference endpoints. Display layouts are generated based on attributes associated with video streams received from the endpoints and display configuration information of the endpoints. An endpoint can include one or more attributes in each outgoing stream. Attributes can be assigned based on video streams' role, content, camera source, etc. Display layouts can be regenerated if one or more attributes change. A mixer can generate video streams to be displayed at the endpoints based on the display layout.
