PHYSICAL SECURITY SYSTEM HAVING MULTIPLE SERVER NODES CONFIGURED TO IMPLEMENT A CONDITIONALLY TRIGGERED RULE
A physical security system having multiple server nodes may be built as a distributed network. A first node of the system detects a trigger and a second node of the system detects an input signal that affects a condition to be satisfied prior to performing an action specified by the rule in response to the trigger. A condition evaluation node collects information permitting the condition to be evaluated, and when the condition is satisfied the system performs the action. The first, second, and condition evaluation nodes comprise part of a clustered system, and the condition evaluation node and the second node may be the same.

A camera that supports removable storage divided into multiple partitions is configured to write files to removable storage that is formatted into journaled and non-journaled partitions.

Video analytics and a mass storage unit are contained in a camera housing of a video camera. The video analytics analyzes video data produced by the video camera and detects whether there is an occurrence of a defined event of interest. Video data stored in the mass storage unit include video data of different qualities that represent the occurrence and nonoccurrence in a field of view of the video camera of the defined event of interest detected. Storing video data of different qualities reduces system storage capacity demands. A storage buffer and a hard-disk drive store the video data. A total hard-disk drive storage time spent transferring to and storing a portion of the video data in the hard-disk drive is substantially less than a total buffer storage time spent storing the video data in the storage buffer. This storage time allocation extends the operational lifetime of the hard-disk drive.
A camera system (100) comprises an image capturing device (102), object detection module (204), object tracking module (206), and match classifier (218). The object detection module (204) receives image data and detects objects appearing in one or more of the images. The object tracking module (206) temporally associates instances of a first object detected in a first group of the images. The first object has a first signature representing features of the first object. The match classifier (218) matches object instances by analyzing data derived from the first signature of the first object and a second signature of a second object detected in a second image. The second signature represents features of the second object derived from the second image. The match classifier (218) determine whether the second signature matches the first signature. A training process automatically configures the match classifier (218) using a set of possible object features.
A camera system (100) comprises an image capturing device (102) and an object classification module (210) connected to the image capturing device (102).
