Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) for use with a generator back-up. The EVSE can receive electrical power to generate an electrical load while monitoring a frequency of electrical power. The EVSE and/or another system may determine the generator back-up is supplying power based on the frequency. In response to determining the generator back-up is supplying power, the EVSE can operate at percentage of full power. The EVSE may attempt to reconnect and/or increase the percentage of full power in multiple ways based on a mode the EVSE is operating in. In a lock-out disabled priority mode, the EVSE can attempt to reconnect and begin operating at full power. In a lock-out mode, the EVSE can attempt to reconnect at a percentage of full power and incrementally increase the percentage of full power until full power has been reached.

Abstract: A system may track a person at a location across multiple cameras in real time, while maintaining identification of the person through their visit. The person may not be personally identified; however, the person's presence in video frames captured by different cameras may be linked together. The linked frames may be evaluated by one or more analytics applications. For example, an analytics application may determine a trajectory of a person through a location and plot an overlay of that person's trip through the location on the map. This information may be used, for example, to optimize store layout, asset protection purposes, for counting a number of people at the location at a given time (e.g., for understanding busy hours of the location), determining whether social distancing or other health and/or safety measures may be in compliance, etc.
