Abstract
Systems (100) and methods (110) for operating a physical security surveillance system. The methods involve: detecting the constant unencrypted radio transmissions of mobile phones in order to capture in a cloud-based archive the identities, geographical trails, speeds and motions of most people nearby deployed units. Once recorded by a locally deployed sensor (104), the aggregated data (102) from the recorded mobile phones (106) is pooled in a globally inclusive database, synthesized, processed and filtered. On a paid-subscription basis, the data is accessible in a searchable archive that includes dozens of search parameters and filters. Users may visualize geographical trails of mobile phones on a multi-featured map, a geographically corresponding input of Google Street View, or a geographically corresponding input of video surveillance. Users may receive text message alerts when designated blacklisted individuals trespass in designated surveillance zones.

10. A method for identifying the owner of a mobile communications device that emits a unique device ID assigned to the device by a source authority such as the device'"'"'s network card manufacturer or wireless service provider, comprising:
-
at a known geographic location having an ID sensing field, continually sensing any ID emitted within the field by any number of devices; transmitting the sensed ID'"'"'s to a central facility containing a data storage device where data indicative of the presence of each device at said location are stored in a database with a time stamp; querying the facility database for a particular ID of interest; and matching the particular ID with an owner name and home address assigned to the device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
