  • Publication number: 20130057693
    Abstract: An intruder identification system for capturing a digital image in a field of view generally comprising an image capturing device and one or a plurality of sound emitters for attracting a gaze of an intruder and a turning of their face to an image capturing position in the field of view. A preferred image capturing position being when both eyes of the intruder are viewable in the field of view of the image capturing device, detectable by the employment of facial recognition software adapted at the task and thereafter digitally storing the image. The identity of the intruder may be determined using software adapted to identify individuals from the captured facial image. The system may also employ means for electronic communication for transmitting the digital image to a video display operatively connected with a users receiving device, such as a smart phone.

  • Patent number: 6552963
    Abstract: A firearm discharge detection device and alarm system featuring a plurality of detector units placed inside a structure which communicate with a central monitoring unit. Each detection unit will detect the discharge of a firearm in its proximity from decibel levels and duration using on board filters and timers and thereon signal the central monitoring unit. A digitized embodiment may also be used to determine the sound of a firearm using a digitized fingerprint of the sound compared to an library of firearm sounds in onboard memory by a microprocessor. The central monitoring unit will thereupon communicate with all the other detection devices installed to sound an audible and/or visible alarm to occupants to exit. Concurrently the central monitoring unit will communicate the firearm discharge and location to police. An optional directional exit alarm or warning to hide may also be activated.
