Abstract: A method for verifying a detection of a motion of a body using a passive infrared sensor (100) includes generating motion data based on a first signal received at a primary detection channel (103a, 103c), the first signal indicates a possible motion of a body; generating verification data based on a second signal, or absence of second signal, received at a secondary detection channel (103b); and verifying that the first signal is a motion of a body based on a comparison of the motion data with the verification data; the primary detection channel (103a, 103c) is configured to receive a first predetermined range of signals, including at least some infrared signals, and the secondary detection channel (103b) is configured to receive a second predetermined range of signals, excluding at least some infrared signals via an infrared blocker (104).

Abstract: A detector includes a housing having a window. A detection engine is configured to detect an event external to the housing. A battery is connected to the detection engine and configured to supply power thereto. A solar cell is configured to generate electricity when exposed to a light received through the window. The solar cell is arranged in the housing and electrically connected to the battery.

Abstract: A wireless power transmission system for transmitting power to energy receiving equipment is provided. The system includes: an intruder alarm, wherein the intruder alarm comprises a person detection system that is arranged to trigger the intruder alarm when the intruder alarm is set and the detection system is activated; a power source for wirelessly transmitting high power packets and low power packets; and energy receiving equipment for receiving the high power packets and low power packets from the power source, wherein the system is arranged such that the power source can only transmit high power packets when the intruder alarm is on and not triggered. A method of using the system is also provided.

Abstract: Methods and systems for motion detection are provided. Aspects includes receiving, from a sensor, sensor data associated with an area proximate to the sensor, determining an event type based on a feature vector, utilizing a machine learning model, the feature vector comprising a plurality of features extracted from the sensor data, and generating an alert based on the event type.

Abstract: A detector 10 for an alarm system 100 is operable to monitor a monitored area for disturbances. The detector includes a first neural network which has been trained to discriminate false alarms which should not result in an alarm being triggered by the alarm system 100 in a normal mode of operation from disturbances for which an alarm should be triggered in the normal mode of operation. The detector 10 is configured to receive an input from a user instructing the detector 10 to enter a training mode. The input includes a categorization setting instructing the detector 10 to label subsequent disturbances recorded whilst the detector 10 is in the training mode as either disturbances indicative of a false alarm, or as disturbances for which the alarm should be triggered in the normal mode of operation.

Abstract: A method for detecting motion is provided. The method includes: detecting a motion of a body in order to generate motion data; detecting a location of an allowed movable body in order to generate location data; and determining whether the motion of the body is a motion of the allowed movable body based on at least the motion data and the location data. A security system for verifying a detected motion is also provided. The system includes: a motion detection system; a location detection system; and a processing unit configured to determine whether motion detected by the motion detection system is a motion of the allowed movable body. The system may be for performing the method of detecting motion.
