An apparatus monitors the departure of a child from an exit. The apparatus comprises: a magnetomechanically actuated electronic article surveillance system having an alarm; and a tag worn by the child. A field generating means of the system is adapted to generate an electromagnetic field at the exit. The tag is operative in the presence of the electromagnetic field to transmit a signal, which upon being detected, triggers the alarm. When the child passes through the electromagnetic field and departs from the exit, the tag transmits a signal that activates the alarm, thereby providing information to relatives of the child and store personnel concerning the child's whereabouts.

Child monitoring device

An apparatus monitors the movement of a person through an exit. The apparatus comprises an electronic article surveillance system adapted to generate an electromagnetic field at the exit and a tag worn by the person. The tag is responsive to the electromagnetic field. It is caused to alarm upon departure of the person from the exit. The tag is further provided with an alarm means for alarming the electronic article surveillance system.

Monitoring device adapted for use with an electronic article surveillance system

A license plate number for any vehicle extant within a field of view of an electronic camera is interpreted as a character sequence group in an image. Each character sequence group found in the image is converted to machine readable format by an optical character recognition engine and compared with a database having a plurality of license plate numbers and associated records. Each matching license plate number and associated record is displayed within the surveillance vehicle.
