Similar to the previous use case, a homeowner may ask “Where is my child?” In this case, it may be assumed that the homeowner/parent has transferred an image of the child to the server 38 from a computer in the home 12 , 14 of the homeowner/parent.
- remote video analytics of a child tracking processor 40 , 42 may be used to identify and indicate through an alert sent to the computer of the parent's home 12 , 14 which camera 32 in the neighborhood or in the whole network most recently saw the given person (or a sequence of times and cameras 32 where the child was most recently seen). Note that the homeowner is not seeing video from that remote location; he/she is only being told “That face was most recently seen at the following location, at the following time”.
- the use case would be: The homeowner registers the child's face with a system recognition and tracking processor 40 , 42 of the server 38 . If the child goes missing, before calling the police, the homeowner would query the processor 40 , 42 to ask where that face was most recently seen.

- the “Amber Alert” application may also be of interest for tracking dementia sufferers who might randomly wander the neighborhood.
- the diagram of FIG. 2 shows an example of the network of FIG. 1 in operation. All the houses in this map have outward-facing cameras 32 with “neighbor” access selected as described above. A burglary occurs at the corner of 2nd Ave and 34th St (red circle) in FIG. 2 . This homeowner has chosen to link his alarm system 18 to the camera network of the server 38 , so the burglary event automatically wakes up cameras 32 in neighboring houses.
- the homeowner receives an alert message of the alarm and can access the cameras 32 inside the circle to see what is happening in the area.
- the central station and local police precinct can see all cameras in the entire area. By this method, they can observe the criminal to get a physical description, and they can follow him through his escape route. Note that even if the burglar destroys the camera(s) 32 in the victim's house, or cuts the Internet connection, it will not be feasible for him to disable all the cameras 32 in the neighborhood.
Abstract
A method and apparatus for recording video. The method includes the steps of a plurality of security systems within a predetermined geographical area each detecting intruders within a respective home of the predetermined geographic area, a camera associated with each of at least some respective homes of the plurality of private security systems, the camera recording video in a public area surrounding the respective home of the security system, detecting an intruder within a security system of the plurality of security systems and activating the at least one camera within each of the at least some security systems to record video in response to the detected intruder.
Description
- The field relates to security systems and more particularly, to the recording of images related to security events.
- Home security systems are generally known. Such systems typically include one or more sensors to detect intruders.
- Typically, the sensors are coupled to a common control panel that allows the system to be armed and disarmed. The control panel is usually provided with an audible alarm to alert occupants of the home to the detection of an intruder. The control panel may also be equipped to send an alarm message to a central monitoring station in order to automatically summon police in the event of a break-in.
- In simple security systems, the sensors may simply include one or more perimeter switches intended to be activated by the opening of doors or windows of the home. In more sophisticated system, motion detectors may be used to detect the movement of an intruder.
- Home security systems are also known to include video imaging devices such as cameras. Such devices may be used to capture images of intruders once an intrusion has been detected. Alternatively, the frames of images may be continuously analyzed by a computer in order to detect motion and to trigger an intrusion alarm without any need for perimeter switches.
- Alternatively, cameras may be mounted to monitor and record images of public spaces outside of the home for later review after a crime has occurred. However, intruders often notice such cameras and obscure their images or use another route. Accordingly, a need exists for better methods of controlling cameras that monitor public spaces proximate homes.

FIG. 2 is a geographic diagram of a neighborhood that shows camera activation within the network ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of asecurity network 10 shown generally in accordance with an illustrated embodiment described herein. Included within thenetwork 10 is a number ofhomes security system 18, including an alarm panel and a number of intrusion detection devices (e.g., perimeter sensors, motion detectors, etc.). - The
security systems 18 may each be connected to acentral monitoring station 20 via ahardwired connection security systems 18 may also be connected to thecentral monitoring station 20 via abroadband Internet connection - During operation, each of the
security systems 18 may be armed or disarmed in a normal manner by a user (e.g., the homeowner, the homeowner's children, etc.). Once armed, the security system may detect intruders via activation of an intrusion sensor, activate a local audible alarm and send an alarm message to thecentral monitoring station 30. Thecentral monitoring station 20 may receive the alarm message and, in response, dispatch the police. - Associated with at least some or all of the
homes camera 32. Thecamera 32 may be of a type commonly referred to as an Internet camera. Thecamera 32 may be mounted in an interior or on an exterior of thehome public area house - In this regard, a number of vendors (e.g., Honeywell), sell Internet-connected consumer video cameras that attach directly to a
home broadband network - Under one illustrated embodiment, the
camera 32 is coupled to aserver 38 that allows remote control and access to (video from) thecamera 32 in a way that benefits the homeowner and the homeowner's neighbors. These benefits are achieved on a number of different levels. For example, during the registration/setup process for eachcamera 32, the homeowner can designate that thecamera 32 faces a public space proximate the home, and elect either to share the feed (video stream) with neighbors and law enforcement, or with law enforcement only. Note that the identity of neighbors can be automatically determined using the geolocation of IP addresses of the camera and of the neighbors. The end goal is that if there is any local incident (e.g., burglary, abduction (Amber Alert), fire, etc.), a homeowner can visit the website of thecamera 32 within theserver 38 and see not only his/her own camera feeds, but also data from any nearby cameras that have been shared by their owners. However, these feeds are not necessarily public; they can be restricted to local residents, forming a sort of “neighborhood watch” social network. Several refinements/additions to this basic concept are described below. Observe that the structure of thesystem 10 leads to cost-sharing models that may encourage uptake of subscription services provided hereunder. For instance, local law enforcement might subsidize the fees for shared cameras, or a homeowners association might include the cost in its normal dues. - The
camera 32 may operate in a number of different modes, where the modes may operate either separately or simultaneously. The functional aspects of each of the modes may be provided via the use of one orprocessors 40, 42 (located within theserver 38 or camera 32) operating under control of software (programs) 44, 46 loaded from a non-transitory computer readable medium (memory) 48. - The modes and operating characteristics of the programmed
processors camera 32 may be provided with a start up disk that allows set up of thecamera 32 by prompting the homeowner to open a subscriber account 50 (including a website) within theserver 38. - For example (and as a first step), when the customer is setting up a
new camera 32, he/she specifies an access level. In this regard, a first (default) level is private. The private mode is used for internally-faced cameras. In this case, the camera's images will be available only to the individual subscriber (homeowner). This is the default setting. - Alternatively, the
camera 32 may be designated as available for law enforcement use. In this case, the images from thecameras 32 are available to the individual subscriber and to local law enforcement (where “law enforcement” might be defined as thecentral station 20, the police precinct, a private security service in a gated community, etc, depending on the application). - Alternatively, the
camera 32 could be designated as available for use by direct or close neighbors. In this case, the images from thecameras 32 are available to the individual subscriber, local law enforcement, and neighbors. - Alternatively, the
camera 32 could be designated as available for use by the public. In this case, the images from thecameras 32 are available to anyone with access to appropriate website within theserver 38. - As a second step in set up of a
camera 32,camera 32 may be linked to the homeowner'ssecurity system 18. The homeowner may choose this option and the link will be automatically established. If this link is established, then an alarm event in the security system for any home in the neighborhood (including the homeowner selecting this option) will automatically trigger allcameras 32 in the neighborhood to wake up and begin recording tomemory 48. - As a third, optional step selected by the user, a
processor account 50 may function as an additional integration point. In this case, theaccount 50 may operate to link the video from thecamera 32 into the user's subscription to various social networks, such as Facebook, Linked In, etc. For example, a set upprocessor account 50 may place a link on the user's Facebook page that is linked to video from thecamera 32. The customer may then choose to share the camera feed with friends on that social network via that link. The desired result is to extend the concept of “neighborhood watch” to one's “virtual neighborhood” of friends, so that (for example) geographically remote persons can be asked to help watch the user'shome account 50 directly to that person. - As a fourth step, the user may be required to log into his/her
account 50 and select the format of the displayed information. Operating in the background may be one ormore geolocation processors geolocation processors cameras 32 of neighbors. When the subscriber logs into his/heraccount 50, he/she will see one or more Internet links that connect the subscriber to the feeds and historical archive footage from his/her own cameras, and any cameras that his/her neighbors have set up with the “Neighbors” or “Public” access levels. These feeds may appear automatically upon sign-in of the user into the user's account or the user may activate a link at the beginning of each sign-in where sign-in initiates collection and display of video images. The concept of “neighbor” in this concept is defined by geolocation. Thegeoprocessors accounts 50 and video images fromcameras 32 of neighbors. Optionally, if the social networking step above was elected, the subscriber will also see feeds from his/her friends on that social network. - It should be noted here that the
geolocation processors server 38 may also send an identifier of thecamera 32 and/or IP address of theaccount 50 to thecentral monitoring station 20. Using the geographical coordinates of thecamera 32, the central monitoring station is automatically able to associate thecamera 32 of the homeowner with thesecurity system 18 of the homeowner. Once thecamera 32 is associated with thesecurity system 18, the central monitoring station is able to trigger the recording of video from thecamera 32 of a home in the event of activation of thesecurity system 18 during a break-in at the home. Thecentral monitoring station 20 is also able to activatecameras 32 of neighbors using the same process. The video images from thecamera 32 of the activatedsecurity system 18 and from neighbors may be saved in a database of theserver 38 along with an incident identifier from the central monitoring station that allows the saved video to be easily retrieved and reviewed by the homeowner of the activatedsecurity system 18 or by police during a later investigation by police. - Similarly, the geolocation of
cameras 32 may be used by the geolocation processors or a separate registration processor may register thecameras 32 with local law enforcement organizations. In this regard, registration may simply be by the geolocation processor sending a street address and IP address of thecamera 32 and/oraccount 50 thereby allowing the local law enforcement organization to activate thecamera 32 whenever a need arises. - As a fifth step, one or
more processors processor - As an optional sixth step, the
cameras 32 may continuously collect video images. One or more motion detection algorithms on amotion detection processor cameras 32 can be used to detect and allow atracking processor server 38 to follow a moving object through the neighborhood. In this case, themotion processors camera 32 to detect moving objects and the tracking processor may correlate the movement of the detected object amongcameras 32. Combined with video analytics such as license plate number recognition or facial recognition, this mode can provide useful tracking capabilities. - For example, the motion detection and tracking
processors system 18 will cause allnearby cameras 32 to wake up and identify any features (license plates, faces) they can see. Analytics software on aprocessor - As a more specific example, motion detection and analytics software operating on a
processor camera 32 orserver 38 may provide an identifying characteristic of the moving object (e.g., a license plate number). The identifying characteristic may then be transferred to the trackingprocessor 40, 42 (operating at a system level) within theserver 38. In this regard, the trackingprocessor different cameras 32. By comparing the characteristics received from manydifferent cameras 32, the trackingprocessor camera 32 and a time when the identifier was detected by thecamera 32. The trackingprocessor camera 32 that shows the moving object during that time sequence as proof of the context of detection. - The capability of tracking moving objects based upon identifying characteristics can be very important for tracking the activities of moving objects in general throughout the neighborhood. This may allow police to later review such activity to identify suspects of crimes that may not have been detected by any security system 18 (e.g., a car theft outside a
home 12, 14). Alternatively, police personnel may download a particular characteristic (e.g., a license number) to theserver 38 and allow areporting processor server 38 to report any incident of detection and locations and times of detection. - The motion detection and tracking
processors cameras 32 andprocessors specific camera 32. This may be done by themotion processors face processor server 38 or police headquarters. Tracking of individuals may be accomplished as discussed above. - In general, the
server 38 may maintain its own database of identification characteristics. This could be database of identification characteristics of local sex offenders, license plates of recently stolen cars or any other important identifier local residents consider important to their safety. - In a similar manner, the motion detection and tracking
processors server 38 from a computer in thehome child tracking processor home camera 32 in the neighborhood or in the whole network most recently saw the given person (or a sequence of times andcameras 32 where the child was most recently seen). Note that the homeowner is not seeing video from that remote location; he/she is only being told “That face was most recently seen at the following location, at the following time”. The use case would be: The homeowner registers the child's face with a system recognition and trackingprocessor server 38. If the child goes missing, before calling the police, the homeowner would query theprocessor - The motion detection and tracking
processors FIG. 2 shows an example of the network ofFIG. 1 in operation. All the houses in this map have outward-facingcameras 32 with “neighbor” access selected as described above. A burglary occurs at the corner of 2nd Ave and 34th St (red circle) inFIG. 2 . This homeowner has chosen to link hisalarm system 18 to the camera network of theserver 38, so the burglary event automatically wakes upcameras 32 in neighboring houses. The homeowner receives an alert message of the alarm and can access thecameras 32 inside the circle to see what is happening in the area. The central station and local police precinct can see all cameras in the entire area. By this method, they can observe the criminal to get a physical description, and they can follow him through his escape route.
