Abstract: A standalone device, connectible to a CCTV network, includes an analog video input connector that collects input image signals corresponding to views from outside the standalone device, and digital image signal data corresponding to the collected signals are output. The device is connectible to an the internet-protocol network, and a transport control protocol packetizes the digital image signal data and controls addressing of the packetized digital image signal data. An address setting routine sets an internet-protocol address for the standalone device itself, permitting connection to the internet-protocol network. A self-initiating transmission initiating routine self-initiates a connection with the internet-protocol network in response to a triggering signal on an alarm trigger input. An E-mail message is assembled, including report information related to the triggering signal and digital image signal data, and is transmitted to an address via the internet-protocol network.

Abstract: A method of transmitting digital image signal data from a standalone device includes input image signals corresponding to views from outside the standalone device. Digital image signal data, corresponding to the input image signals, are output. The standalone device is permitted to connect to an internet-protocol network by setting an internet-protocol address for the standalone device itself.

Abstract: An interactive geospatial data provisioning application presents a graphical user interface operable to present a map of geographic regions and corresponding geospatial data sets. The user selects the area of interest from the mapped regions corresponding to the available geospatial data sets. The application identifies geospatial data sets within the area of interest. By analyzing the attributes available in the identified geospatial data sets, the geospatial data application determines the operations applicable to the data sets. A set of transformation rules computes the operations available for a particular selection of geospatial data sets. A custom plugin generator allows a user to define and insert geospatial operations into the provisioning sequence. The application presents the available predefined and user defined operations, and the user select the geospatial data operations to apply from among the available operations.
