Abstract

Disclosed is an identification recognition system for area security. The system consists of a plurality of area security sub-systems. Each sub-system includes an independent computer system as well as input/output devices, and all sub-systems are connected with internal audio and video communications. To expand the security coverage and enhance the integral security efficiency, this identification recognition system may also connect to external area security systems with real-time audio and video communications. With the saved information for the moving/living objects entering the security area as well as the fast computational ability, the identification recognition system for area security provides a real-time behavior analysis and habit recognition with high efficiency and accuracy of identification recognition.
