Abstract

The present invention provides a system, methods, and apparatus to provide surveillance, security, alerting, and tracking functionality. The security system comprises the necessary hardware and software to provide surveillance of a pre-determined area, using a central processing facility located off site to allow for an independent monitoring, information gathering, and decision making component. Such information is collected and the data can be converted into a tactical map. The tactical map includes useful information which can be supplied to responders in an easy to view and understand format.

Claims

1. A method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area comprising the steps of:

providing at least one data collecting device within a predetermined area;

said at least one data collecting device adapted to provide information related to at least one event occurring within said pre-determined area;

providing a map corresponding to a predetermined area, said map including visual representation of one or more components of said predetermined area in combination with the location of said at least one data collecting device positioned within said predetermined area;

obtaining information related to at least one event within said predetermined area; and

determining if said least one event within said predetermined area is an emergency event which requires assistance to one or more individuals within said predetermined area;

providing a tactical map if said at least one event within said predetermined area is determined an emergency event.

2. A method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area according to claim 1 wherein said at least one data collecting device is a biosensor adapted to measure at least one physiological characteristic of user located within a predetermined area, said biosensor being coupled to said user.

3. A method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area according to claim 1 further including the step of using real time tracking location to track at least one individual within said wherein predetermined area.

4. A method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area comprising the steps of:

determining an area to be monitored;

providing at least one data collecting device within said area to be monitored;

said data collecting device adapted to provide information related to an occurring event that requires assistance within said area;

providing at least one system for capturing data collected by said one data collecting device

providing at least one biosensor adapted to measure at least one physiological characteristic of a user;

coupling said at least one biosensor to an individual located within said area;

providing at least one system for capturing data collected by said least one biosensor;

providing a map corresponding to said area, said map including visual representation of one or more components of said predetermined area in combination with the location of said at least one data collecting device positioned within said predetermined area;

obtaining information from said at least one biosensor coupled to said individual, said information comprising information related to the physiological reaction of said user to an occurrence within said pre-determined area that requires assistance;

providing said data obtained from said biosensor or at least one data collecting device said to an off-site facility;

determining if said an emergency event has occurred; and

if an emergency event has been determined to have occurred, providing a tactical map.

5. The method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area according to claim 4 further including the step of notifying a third party that said emergency event has occurred within said predetermined area.

6. The method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area according to claim 4 further including the step of providing said third party access to said tactical map.

7. The method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area according to claim 4 further including the step of obtaining additional data from said at least one data collecting device, at least one biosensor, or combinations thereof.

8. The method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area according to claim 4 wherein said at least one data collecting device is a video camera.

9. The method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area according to claim 4 wherein said biosensor includes a panic button.

10. The method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area according to claim 4 wherein said biosensor is adapted to measure the heart rate of said individual.

11. The method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area according to claim 4 further including the step of updating said tactical map.

12. The method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area according to claim 4 wherein said data collecting device is a sound sensor adapted to detect gun shots.

13. The method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area according to claim 4 wherein said data collecting device is a sensor adapted to detect the firing of a firearm.

14. The method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area according to claim 4 further including the step of determining if an detectable event is an emergency event.

15. The method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area according to claim 4 further including the step of transmitting said data obtained from said at least one biosensor to a secondary location, said secondary location being located at a different location than said pre-determined area.

16. The method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area according to claim 4 further including the step of transmitting said data obtained from said at least one data collecting device to a secondary location, said secondary location being located at a different location than said pre-determined area.

17. The method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area according to claim 4 further including the step of continually collecting data from an emergency event occurrence, and using said continually collected information to update said tactical map.

18. The method of providing a security and surveillance system for a predetermined area according to claim 4 further including the step of providing visual footage of at least one section of said predetermined area prior the generation of said emergency event.

19. A system for providing a security and surveillance for a predetermined area comprising:

a predetermined area for monitoring;

at least one data collecting device within said predetermined area;

said data collecting device adapted to provide information related to an occurring event that requires assistance within said pre-determined area;

at least one biosensor adapted to measure at least one physiological characteristic of a user;

at least one system for capturing data; and

a map corresponding to said predetermined area, said map including visual representation of one or more components of said predetermined area in combination with the location of said at least one data collecting device positioned within said predetermined area.

20. The system for providing a security and surveillance for a predetermined area according to claim 19 further including a tactical map.

21. The system for providing a security and surveillance for a predetermined area according to claim 19. wherein said at least one data collecting device is a video camera.

22. The system for providing a security and surveillance for a predetermined area according to claim 19 further including at least one database for determining if one or more events occurring within said predetermined area are emergency events requiring providing assistance to one or more individuals within said predetermined area.

23. The system for providing a security and surveillance for a predetermined area according to claim 22 wherein said data base is a historical events database.

24. The system for providing a security and surveillance for a predetermined area according to claim 22 wherein said data base escalation rules database.
