Abstract: One variation of a method includes, at an external memory drive: initiating a wireless communication protocol with a sensor block; downloading a first key to the sensor block, the first key containing a wireless network setting associated with the workspace; retrieving a unique identifier assigned to the sensor block; and, in response to receiving confirmation of the sensor block connected to the wireless network setting, writing the unique identifier to a list of unique identifiers corresponding to a population of sensor blocks and downloading the list of unique identifiers to a computing device. This variation of the method also includes, at the computing device: accessing an activation status list of sensor blocks connected to the wireless network within the workspace; characterizing a difference between the list of unique identifiers and the activation status list of sensor blocks; and generating a notification to investigate the difference.

Abstract: A method for detecting conditions within a space includes: accessing a corpus of object lists generated based on objects detected in images captured by a population of sensor blocks; compiling locations of a set of objects represented in the corpus of object lists into a map of the space based on known locations of the population of sensor blocks; accessing a nominal condition of the space defining a set of inclusion objects and a set of exclusion objects within a threshold distance of an anchor object type; and detecting the anchor object type in the map according to the nominal condition. The method further includes, in response to detecting an object within the threshold distance of the anchor object type in the map and deviating from the nominal condition: identifying the object as anomalous in the map; and generating a notification to investigate the object.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling access to a building or other restricted physical spaces using at least a facial recognition module, an access control panel and electronically lockable doors or other means of controlling access. The facial recognition module comprises visible light and IR detection. The facial recognition module may also comprise a badge reader, or a badge reader may be a separate component connected to the access control panel. The facial recognition module learns to recognize authorized entrants by associating badge numbers with the facial images of authorized entrants.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling access to a building or other restricted physical spaces using at least a facial recognition module, an access control panel and electronically lockable doors or other means of controlling access. The facial recognition module comprises visible light and IR detection. The facial recognition module initially uses visible light to detect a person in the vicinity of an access control location, defines a region of interest in at least a captured image related to the location of the person's face, tracks the movement of the face and adjusts the region of interest, and performs facial recognition by prioritizing analysis of the defined region of interest.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling access to a building or other restricted physical spaces using at least a facial recognition module, an access control panel and electronically lockable doors or other means of controlling access. The facial recognition module comprises visible light and IR detection. The facial recognition module detects multiple persons in the vicinity of an access control location, and may be configured to deny access to some or all of those persons unless all are recognized as authorized entrants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for enhancing media content of a picture (303), wherein the method comprises: filming a scene (102); taking a picture of said scene (106); storing said taken picture and a video (111), the taken picture being associated with said stored video. Said stored video corresponds to a video captured during the filming of said scene, a start or an end of said stored video being function of a time when said picture is taken.
