Abstract
A covert surveillance system for automatically determining the presence and patterns of presence of machines and especially, persons, whose identities may be unknown, sending messages with links for viewing live video and video recorded at the times of past presences, and assisting in the identification of those persons. Video is provided by one or more surveillance cameras and recording devices to assist in visually identifying the bearer of WiFi-equipped mobile devices. A computing device receives WiFi probes from mobile devices, especially smartphones, and forms and sends users messages with the identities of the computing device and mobile device, and links to a Cloud-based, video-aware portal for viewing relevant live and recorded video. The computing device processes WiFi information as it receives it, organizes and records WiFi probes in a manner that facilitates rapid searching, and determines which mobile device signatures, aka WiFi MAC addresses, satisfy criteria for sending messages.
