SYSTEM TO PROVIDE A SECURITY TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT PORTAL
First Claim
1. A system to facilitate management of surveillance devices, that are distributed over a monitored region, through a geographic information (GI) portal, comprising:
- GI storage to store map data defining a geographic map of the monitored region, in which assets of interest are located and surveillance devices (SDs) are installed relative to the assets of interest;
a GI manager unit (GIMU) to create and store surveillance device related (SDR) objects in the GI storage, each of the SDR objects uniquely associated with one of the SDs, the GIMU mapping the SDR objects to surveillance device specific content that includes at least one of the following;
i) SD position information regarding a location of the corresponding surveillance device in the monitored region;
ii) asset position information regarding a location for the corresponding asset with respect to which the SD is installed;
iii) SD data collected by the corresponding SD;
iv) SD documentation describing at least one of installation, operation, and maintenance of the corresponding SD;
a display to present a geographic map of the monitored region with device markers illustrated thereon, the device markers indicating positions of the surveillance devices relative to the geographic map, the device markers mapped to the SDR objects; and
a user interface to permit a user to select from the surveillance devices by choosing the corresponding device markers, the GIMU making available to the user the device content associated with the SDR object for the selected surveillance device.

Abstract
A system to facilitate management of surveillance devices, that are distributed over a monitored region, through a geographic information (GI) portal, having GI storage to store map data defining a geographic map of the monitored region. A GI manager unit (GIMU) to record, in the GI storage, asset position information with regarding locations for assets of interest within the monitored region. The GIMU obtains, from a remote surveillance device (SD) database, device-related records. The GIMU stores the device related records in the GI storage. The device records are associated with the surveillance devices installed in the monitored region. The device records include position tags that identify a location of the surveillance devices in the monitored region. The GIMU obtains, from a remote network (NW) database, network-related records. The GIMU stores the network related records in the GI storage. The network-related records associated with network devices are installed over the monitored region. The SD and NW databases are maintained and managed separately from the GI database by one or more independent management units. A display presents a geographic map of the monitored region with device markers and network links illustrated thereon. The device markers indicate positions of the surveillance devices relative to the geographic map. The network links indicate communications links between network devices. A user interface permits a user to select from the surveillance devices and network links. The GIMU makes available to the user the device related records and documents and the network related records and documents associated with the selected surveillance devices and network links.
