Distributing Essential Logical Deductions to Surveillance Personnel and a Video Recorder

The Single Location Surveillance Point (SLSP) is an indoor distributed multi-sensor surveillance software system. It encompasses an arbitrary amount of sensors that collect data from a single location, which is the surveillance point. The ensuing sensors are realized: a fingerprint sensor attached to a door with an electronic lock, a video camera, an audio sensor, and a network analyzing monitor. Each sensor collects information from its ambit. Once the crude data has been acquired from the sensors and transmitted to Logical Decision Making Server (LDMS) by the session server, the LDMS automatically performs logical deductions based on the data received from the sensors. The logical deductions create: (1) information for end users or (2) control messages to sensors. Based on the alarms, the LDMS can ordain instructions to the video recorder. The LDMS distributes the logical deductions to the human security administrator of the Security Manager Server (SMSU) and/or the end devices of the nomadic guards. The SLSP system provide the surveillance personnel refined information cogent to occurring events of the surveyed area. The SLSP system intends to decrement the amount of superfluous information rendered to the surveillance personnel, by providing automatically derived information. These two antecedently depicted facets are the main endeavors of the SLSP system distribution of logical deductions. The operability of the constructed prototype indicates that this endeavor is attained. The research is based on the constructive method of the related publications and technologies and the results are derived by the implemented branch of the SLSP system. (23 refs.
