Abstract
A digital camera system includes an input member for selecting at least one of an individual profile and a group profile and a memory operatively coupled to the input member. The memory includes digital images captured by the digital camera system and a profile information database. The profile information database includes at least one of an individual profile having an individual profile marker and a group profile having a plurality of individual profile markers. A tracking system, operatively coupled to the memory, selectively scans the captured images for images including at least one individual profile marker. A notification system, operatively coupled to the tracking system, provides one of a visual and an audible alarm indicating that less than a pre-selected number of individual profile markers are present in the captured images.
