Abstract: A system for monitoring a building automation system (BAS). The systems may include a device to report data, a memory having an application that requires that the data from the device be reported at least at a minimum frequency, and a controller to receive the data from the device at least at the minimum frequency and use the application and the data to determine an operational status of a component of the BAS.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically masking video or images captured by a drone device camera are provided. Such systems and methods include flying the drone device proximate to a potential surveillance area while in a learning mode, capturing first video or images of the potential surveillance area, identifying first privacy masking areas in the first video or images, flying the drone device proximate to an active surveillance area while in a standard mode, capturing second video or images of the active surveillance area, identifying second privacy masking areas in the second video or images, and dynamically masking a portion of the second video or images that contains any of the first privacy masking areas or the second privacy masking areas.

Abstract: A system and method for operator-side privacy zone masking of surveillance is provided. The system includes a video surveillance camera equipped with a coordinate engine for determining coordinates of a current field of view of the surveillance camera; and a frame encoder for embedding the determined coordinates with video frames of the current field of view. The system also includes a privacy zone information database for storing coordinates of predefined privacy zones; and a video viewing unit for viewing stored video frames. The video viewing unit is in communication with the frame storage unit and the privacy zone information database.

Abstract: A system and method of exporting and playing video from different video recorders at the same time and in a single viewing window while maintaining the integrity of the video is provided. The method includes selecting a plurality of data collection devices, selecting a plurality of video data streams capture or recorded by the selected data collection devices, exporting the selected video data streams, packaging the exported video data streams, and playing the packaged video data streams substantially simultaneously. Each of the selected video data streams has a respective original format with some formats different from others, and each of the packaged video data streams is played in its original format.

Abstract: A system and method for managing a network video recording system are provided. The method includes interfacing a network video recording system with an end user operating system, and managing the network video recording system via the end user operating system.

Abstract: A system and method for time based review of multi-polar incidents is provided. The method includes selecting at least one past alarm incident, and populating a floor plan map with representations of the past alarm incident and a set of alarms that were active during the past alarm incident.

Abstract: The present invention relates to video displays for surveillance camera systems, and in particular, to an overlay window and associated method for interacting with a video display. The overlay window comprises a plurality of geometric areas overlying video data containing a plurality of objects displayed on a video display. Each object is associated with at least one geometric area that is responsive to an input for generating a response from the associated object.
