Abstract: An example method includes receiving an application device identifier from an application device associated with a location tag; receiving blink data from the location tag; calculating, using a processor, location data based on the blink data; in response to an event occurrence indication, generating, using the processor, a camera data request based on the location data and the event occurrence indication; transmitting the camera data request; and receiving camera data from the application device in response to the camera data request.

Abstract: An example disclosed method of receiving first blink data from a first tag, the first tag carried by a wearable location device associated with a monitored individual having a restricted region; determining tag location data based on the first blink data, the tag location data indicative of the monitored individual locations of the monitored individuals; determining if the monitored individual location is within the restricted region; and when the monitored individual location is within the restricted region: identifying a second tag associated with a security person in proximity to the monitored individual location; alerting the security personnel via the second tag as to the monitored individual being located in the restricted region.

Abstract: An embodiment of an assembly has a landing pad configured to receive media after the media is cut. The landing pad defines a first end adjacent a cutter, a second end opposite the first end, and a gap positioned between the first end and the second end. The assembly has an emitter, wherein the gap is configured to allow light from the emitter to pass through the gap when the media is not located on the landing pad.
