Video surveillance system with selectable operating scenarios and system training for improved situational awareness
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a plurality of cameras of a surveillance system that detect threats within a secured area;
a first file embodied in memory of the surveillance system that defines a plurality of use scenarios of the secured area, one of the plurality of use scenarios being selected as applicable to the secured area;
a second file corresponding to the one of the plurality of use scenarios embodied in the memory of the surveillance system that defines critical surveillance areas of the secured area based at least upon the one of the plurality of use scenarios and a respective triggering condition for each of the critical surveillance areas, wherein the second file corresponding to the one of the plurality of use scenarios includes a respective identifier of respective ones of the plurality of cameras that correspond to each of the critical surveillance areas;
a user interface of the surveillance system; and
a processor of the surveillance system that preferentially displays a respective video stream from each of the respective ones of the plurality of cameras that correspond to a respective one of the critical surveillance areas when the processor determines that the respective triggering condition for the respective one of the critical surveillance areas has been met,wherein the processor automatically displays the respective video stream from each of the respective ones of the plurality of cameras that correspond to the respective one of the critical surveillance areas in a respective window of the user interface at a preferential location of the user interface, andwherein the processor determines that the respective triggering condition for the respective one of the critical surveillance areas has been met independently of respective content of the respective video stream from each of the respective ones of the plurality of cameras.

Abstract
A system including a plurality of cameras of a surveillance system that detect threats within a secured geographic area, a first file embodied in memory that defines a plurality of human use scenarios of the secured area, one of the plurality of human user scenarios being selected by a human user, a respective second file corresponding to each of the plurality of human user scenarios embodied in memory that defines critical surveillance areas of the secured area based upon the selected scenario and at least upon a time of day, the second file receiving from the user an identifier of one or more of the plurality of cameras that correspond to each of the critical surveillance areas and processor of the surveillance system that preferentially displays video from each of the critical surveillance areas based upon the time of day and camera identifiers received from the user.

11. A system comprising:
-
a surveillance system that protects a secured area; a plurality of cameras distributed throughout the secured area; a first file embodied in a memory of the surveillance system that defines a plurality of use scenarios of the secured area, each of the plurality of use scenarios being selectable as applicable to the secured area; a respective second file corresponding to each of the plurality of use scenarios embodied in the memory of the surveillance system that defines respective critical surveillance areas of the secured area for a corresponding one of the plurality of use scenarios, a respective triggering condition for each of the respective critical surveillance areas, and respective identifiers of respective ones of the plurality of cameras that correspond to each of the respective critical surveillance areas; a user interface of the surveillance system; and a processor of the surveillance system that preferentially displays a respective video stream from each of the respective ones of the plurality of cameras that correspond to a respective one of the respective critical surveillance areas when the corresponding one of the plurality of use scenarios is selected as applicable to the secured area, wherein the processor preferentially displays the respective video stream when the processor determines that the respective triggering condition for the respective one of the respective critical surveillance areas has been met, wherein the processor automatically displays the respective video stream from each of the respective ones of the plurality of cameras that correspond to the respective one of the respective critical surveillance areas in a respective window of the user interface at a preferential location of the user interface, and wherein the processor determines that the respective triggering condition for the respective one of the respective critical surveillance areas has been met independently of respective content of the respective video stream from each of the respective ones of the plurality of cameras. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
