Abstract

A GPS directed intrusion system with data acquisition is provided. Some methods can include detecting a threat event associated with a monitored facility, collecting data relevant to the threat event, and transmitting the data relevant to the threat event to a mobile device of an authority figure dispatched to the monitored facility. Some methods can also include placing a surveillance device associated with the monitored facility in a tracking mode, tracking motion captured by the surveillance device, and transmitting data representative of the motion to a mobile device of an authority figure dispatched to the monitored facility.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

detecting a threat event associated with a monitored facility;

collecting data relevant to the threat event; and

transmitting the data relevant to the threat event to a mobile device of an authority figure dispatched to the monitored facility.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein collecting data relevant to the threat event includes identifying a location of the threat event.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein identifying a location of the threat event includes identifying GPS coordinates of a sensor that detected the threat event.

4. The method of claim 3 further comprising transmitting the GPS coordinates of the sensor that detected the threat event to a GPS navigation system.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising transmitting a system data key to the mobile device to enable the mobile device to receive the data relevant to the threat event.

6. The method of claim 5 further comprising the system data key pre-enabling the mobile device to receive and display the data relevant to the threat event.

7. The method of claim 5 further comprising the system data key expiring after a predetermined period of time.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein collecting data relevant to the threat event includes at least one of collection motion data from motion detectors associated with the threat event, collecting video data from surveillance devices associated with the threat event, collecting audio data from surveillance devices associated with the threat event, and collecting data from at least one sensor associated with the threat event.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein transmitting the data relevant to the threat event includes transmitting a map or a floor plan of the monitored facility to the mobile device of the authority figure dispatched to the monitored facility.

10. The method of claim 1 further comprising identifying an access zone associated with the threat event, and collecting data from system devices associated with the access zone.

11. A method comprising:

detecting a threat event associated with a monitored facility;

placing at least one surveillance device associated with the monitored facility in a tracking mode;

tracking motion captured by the surveillance device; and

transmitting data representative of the motion to a mobile device of an authority figure dispatched to the monitored facility.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein tracking motion captured by the surveillance device includes controlling a pan, tilt, and/or zoom of the surveillance device to track the motion.

13. The method of claim 11 wherein tracking motion captured by the surveillance device includes determining a projected direction of a source of the motion.

14. The method of claim 13 further comprising determining a projected route of the source of the motion.

15. The method of claim 14 further comprising using the projected route to adjust a second surveillance device to sense the source of motion when the source of motion enters a motion capturing region of the second surveillance device.

16. A system comprising:

a programmable processor; and

executable control software stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium,

wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software receive an indication that a threat event associated with a monitored facility is detected,

wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software control collection of data relevant to the threat event, and

wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software control transmission of the data relevant to the threat event to a mobile device of an authority figure dispatched to the monitored facility.

17. The system of claim 16 further comprising at least one of a reader, a motion detector, and a surveillance device located in a vicinity of a door of the monitored facility, wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software receive the indication from the reader, the motion detector, or the surveillance device.

18. The system of claim 16 further comprising at least one GPS device located in a vicinity of a door of the monitored facility, wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software receive a location of the threat event from the GPS device.

19. The system of claim 18 wherein an access zone is associated with the GPS device, and wherein a plurality of system devices is associated with the access zone.

20. The system of claim 19 wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software control collection of data from each of the plurality of system devices associated with the access zone.
