  • Patent number: 12177758
    Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring blockages of emergency escape routes and emergency exits of a building include capturing a plurality of images which may correspond to an emergency escape route and/or an emergency exit of a building. The plurality of images may be analyzed to determine when a stationary object is present and at least partially blocking the emergency escape route and/or the emergency exit. If a blockage is detected, a user may be notified of the blockage.

  • Publication number: 20240013401
    Abstract: A method for detecting an abandoned object in a video stream captured by a video camera includes receiving a plurality of video frames of the video stream. Video analytics are performed on one or more of the plurality of video frames to detect one or more objects and one or more persons in the video stream. An object-person association between one of the detected objects and one of the detected persons is identified, resulting in an object/person pair. With the object-person pair identified, the object of the object/person pair and the person of the object/person pair are each tracked through subsequent video frames. Based on the tracking of the object of the object/person pair and the tracking of the person of the object/person pair, a determination is made as to when the object of the object/person pair becomes abandoned by the person of the object/person pair.

  • Patent number: 11417195
    Abstract: A fire alarm system design layout map is used in conjunction with a mobile computing device, an indoor tracking system and a connected services system to automate the process of determining the intended slave address for each slave device, assigning the slave address to the slave device, and verifying the assignment of the slave address to the slave device. The mobile computing device sends the location of a slave device to the connected services system, which maps the location to its corresponding position on the layout map and returns the intended slave address for that slave device. The slave address is assigned wirelessly to the slave device. The assignment of the slave address to the slave device is then verified by the connected services system.

  • Patent number: 11308792
    Abstract: A security system having a seamless integration wearable, portable, personal or body cameras for observant personnel, a locator sensor associated with each camera, a graphical user interface (GUI) module having a display, and a processor connected to the cameras and the locator sensor associated with each camera, and connected to the GUI module. Video from the cameras may be fed to the GUI. The video may be annotated by the processor with locations from locator sensors associated with the cameras. The display may provide a visualization of the location of each camera. The processor may incorporate an artificial intelligence module to process the video and locations, and based on results of processing the video and locations, can detect and model threats from the video and locations. An assessment of the threats, based on models of the threats, may result in alerts.

  • Patent number: 11257341
    Abstract: A fire detection and suppression system includes a system controller for determining an initial location of the fire based on fire location information from fire detectors, and then the system controller determines a final location of the fire based on fire location information taking into account spatial and/or angular relationships between the fire detectors and the initial location. The system controller determines a location of the fire and activates monitors to deploy suppressant based on a distance between each of the monitors and the location of the fire. The system controller controls the monitors based on how the suppressant is deployed onto the fire.

  • Patent number: 11080533
    Abstract: The present invention concerns surveillance systems that flag the potential threats automatically using intelligent systems. It can then notify or automatically alert the security personnel of impending dangers. Such a system can lower the cognitive load on the security personnel and can assist them to bring to prioritize their attention to potential threats and thereby improve the overall efficiency of the system. There could also be savings in labor cost.

  • Patent number: 10573145
    Abstract: A fire detection and suppression system correcting fire detection based on wind. Wind may affect both the apparent position of the fire detected by the fire detectors and also the suppressant jet being delivered by a monitor. Typically wind results in shifting of estimated fire location away from the real fire in the direction of wind. Similarly the suppressant jet will also be diverted in the same direction. The system comprises fire detectors for acquiring two-dimensional fire location information for a fire. A wind sensor acquires wind information, often in region of the fire. A system controller then compensates the three-dimensional fire location information based on the wind information. Additionally, the position of fog/jet monitors is preferably compensated based on the wind information. The jet pressure setting is also ideally determined based on the wind.

  • Patent number: 10497243
    Abstract: A fire detection system includes at least two fire detectors having a partially overlapping view of a fire. The at least two fire detectors are configured to acquire fire cluster information related to the fire. A validation and pairing module pairs fire clusters detected by the at least two fire detectors for the fire. The validation and pairing module is configured to validate the paired fire clusters according to a validation process that ensures that the pair corresponds to a fire. A triangulation module determines a three-dimensional fire location for the fire based on the fire cluster information related to the validated fire cluster pairs.
