  • Publication number: 20230274647
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring, via collection systems mounted on vehicles, for one or more electronic signals associated with one or more selected locations. In an embodiment, the system may include a plurality of collection systems. Each collection system of the plurality of collection systems may be positioned on a respective vehicle of a plurality of vehicles. Each of the collection systems may include at least one sensor configured to collect electronic signals from proximal electronic devices and a communication circuitry to transmit collected electronic signals. The system may include an intelligence device receiving the transmitted collected electronic signals. The intelligence device may include a database and correlation circuitry to determine a correlation between one or more different electronic signals of the collected electronic signals.

  • Publication number: 20230237907
    Abstract: A system and method to manage a parking area. The system may include one or more tags; a license plate reader configured to read license plates; and a tag reader configured to, in response to a license plate read by the license plate reader, read the tag and determine whether the read license plate belongs to an authorized or unauthorized vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230196780
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring for one or more electronic signals associated with one or more selected locations. In an embodiment, the system may include collection devices positioned at selected locations. The collection devices may include (1) at least one sensor or (2) at least one antenna configured to collect, via a corresponding frequency, electronic signals from proximal electronic devices. The collection devices may include a communication circuitry to transmit collected electronic signals. The system may include an intelligence device positioned separate from the collection devices. The intelligence device may include a database and a correlation circuitry to determine a correlation of one or more different electronic signals of the collected electronic signals and one or more targets based upon a comparison of the collected electronic signals with one or more electronic signatures associated with one or more targets.

  • Publication number: 20230073876
    Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for data and security management are disclosed. An embodiment of the method may include capturing data relating to a plurality of targets from a plurality of sensors. The method may include correlating one or more targets to the data and classifying at least a portion of the data based on one or more correlations of the one or more targets. The method may include storing in a database the capture data according to one or more of partitioning, complex indexing, or pre-search statistical processing, with one or more of time, date, and location data with each associated data, wherein the data comprises high volumes of data received substantially continuous. The method may include retrieving a subset of the based on a user request. The method may include generating one or more graphical representations based on retrieved subsets of data to thereby enable targeted tracking.

  • Publication number: 20230070108
    Abstract: Surveillance systems and methods for collecting electronic signatures and visual identifiers of targets to help create identifications or records of targets associated with one or more particular electronic signatures. The surveillance systems and methods can include an event analysis system and methodologies to facilitate classification and association of the collected visual identifiers of the targets with the collected electronic signatures of such targets, and can generate alarms or “hits” indicating presence of a known target across subsets of locations and times of occurrence of such hits or alarms for enhancing tracking and movement of targets throughout selected geographic areas or locations.
