An apparatus and method are provided that include biometric identification intrusion and access control. The apparatus features a monitoring system, a visual input device, and an audible input device. The visual and audible input devices are coupled to control circuits of the monitoring system, which can implement an authentication process responsive to both visual and audile inputs.

System and method having biometric identification intrusion and access control

A method and apparatus including a camera collecting video images of a secured area, extracting objects; for each extracted object determining an object size, correcting the object size, for each extracted object determining, an object size, an object aspect ratio, an object speed and object motion path track, comparing the distance corrected object size with a statistical bell curve tuned to nominal human size, comparing aspect ratio to a statistical bell curve tuned to nominal aspect ratio of human proportions, comparing object speed to a statistical bell curve tuned to nominal travel speed of a typical human and comparing object motion path track against ramp function of absolute distance traveled over time, determining a respective threat probability for each of the extracted object signatures based upon the corrected object size, summing the respective threat probabilities and generating an motion alert upon detecting the summed threat probabilities exceeding a threshold value.

Video motion detection, analysis and threat detection device and method

A security apparatus comprising a plurality of sensing elements, each adapted to detect intrusion into protected premises, each sensing element outputs a sensing signal representing a detected event, a signal processing section for examining each sensing signal and outputting a signature for each sensing signal, a computing section for translating each signature into a normalized threat value, ranging from '0' to '1', modifying each normalized threat values by multiplying a weighting coefficient corresponding to a type of sensing element, storing for a temporary period of time, each modified normalized threat value, and an alarm generating section for adding each of the stored modified normalized threat values, outputting an aggregate threat value and generating an alarm enable signal based upon an analysis of the aggregate threat value.
