Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for tracking an item using a RFID surveillance system. In some embodiments, a security controller is connected to a point of sale system with at least one RFID tag reader. In these embodiments, the RFID tag reader is associated with an area that is observable through a video camera. If the tag reader does not recognize information obtained from a RFID tag, the tag reader may activate the video camera. When the video camera is activated, the video camera may capture images and send them to a recording device.

Abstract: A surveillance and security system includes a plurality of detectors and cameras each associated with a zone of interest. Upon detection or sensing of an event within the zone, an event detection signal is generated and transmitted to a security system controller. The controller generates and transmits a notification message over a data network to a remote communications device notifying a user that an event has been detected by the surveillance and security system, and establishes a communication session. This enables a user of the remote communication device to remotely control the surveillance and security system, and activate or perform certain actions within the system.

Abstract: This invention provides a fish hook remover comprising a handle and a shaft. The handle comprises a first end, a second end, a width, and a longitudinal axis. The handle defines a handle notch and slot, the handle notch extending across the entire width of the handle, to define a width axis of the handle, and extending from the first end of the handle along a portion of the longitudinal axis of the handle, and terminating at a slot opening. The slot extends across the entire handle width and extends from the slot opening along a portion of the longitudinal axis and has a terminal portion offset from the longitudinal axis. The shaft comprises a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis. The first end defines a shaft notch.
