INTRUDER IMAGING AND IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An intruder identification system comprising;
- means for capturing a digital image of a field of view;
a sound emitter, said sound emitter providing means to attract a gaze of an intruder and a turning of their face to an image capturing position, wherein both eyes of said intruder are viewable in said field of view; and
means to capture a facial image of said intruder while in said image capturing position;
means to digitally store said facial image; and
whereby an intruder viewable within said field of view is induced to turn their head to said image capturing position by said means to produce a sound, whereafter an identity of said intruder may be determined using software adapted to identify individuals from said facial image.

Abstract
An intruder identification system for capturing a digital image in a field of view generally comprising an image capturing device and one or a plurality of sound emitters for attracting a gaze of an intruder and a turning of their face to an image capturing position in the field of view. A preferred image capturing position being when both eyes of the intruder are viewable in the field of view of the image capturing device, detectable by the employment of facial recognition software adapted at the task and thereafter digitally storing the image. The identity of the intruder may be determined using software adapted to identify individuals from the captured facial image. The system may also employ means for electronic communication for transmitting the digital image to a video display operatively connected with a users receiving device, such as a smart phone.

13. A method for capturing digital identifiable facial images of an intruder employing a intruder identification system comprising intruder detection means, means for capturing a digital image of a field of view, means for attracting the gaze of an intruder toward a line of sight extending forward of said means for capturing a digital image, means to capture a facial image of said intruder during said gaze, and a data storage means, comprising the steps of;
-
employing said intruder detection means to detect an intruder entering said field of view; employing said means for attracting said gaze of said intruder while in said field of view; capturing a said facial image within said field of view, during said gaze; and storing said captured image in a remote data storage location remote to said means for capturing said digital image as a means to prevent destruction thereof by said intruder.
