microprocessor means for controlling which data collection devices of said plurality of data collection devices are active and operational for recording said collected information, and for coordinating said mode of operation of said plurality of data collection devices;
first communications means for transmitting and uploading a continuous stream of said collected information in real-time from said plurality of data collection devices to a second communications means disposed remotely of said first communications means;
said first communications means also transmitting and uploading said control signals in real-time from said plurality of data collection devices to said second communications means;
said second communications means transmitting and downloading said continuous stream of collected information and said control signals received from said first communications means to a plurality of data/control centers;
a streaming information collection database for storing said downloaded continuous stream of collected information for analysis and reconciliation with a reference database for identifying incipient or existing troublesome or dangerous situations involving said plurality of individuals and said environing premises or associated vehicular travel; and
trigger means for alerting enforcement personnel to take immediate remedial action and for generating appropriate control signals responsive to said identification of incipient or existing troublesome or dangerous situations and for transmitting and downloading said appropriate control signals by third communications means from said plurality of data/control centers to said plurality of control devices to modify said interaction of said plurality of individuals with said environing premises or associated vehicular travel.

Abstract
An early-warning security system for monitoring and tracking in real-time the activities and movements associated with prescribed personnel, personal property, mobile vehicles, and buildings. The system comprises a plurality of in situ local controllers having a microprocessor and a coordinated plurality of conspicuous and clandestine digital video cameras for continuously producing digital audio and visual signals, uplinking such signals via a suitable wireless telecommunications device to a satellite, general packet radio service, the Internet, intranet or extranet, and then downlinking these signals to a plurality of control centers for recording and analysis thereof. Uplinking of these digital signals may occur continuously or may be activated by a manual or predefined trigger event. Preventative or remedial action is immediately taken when perturbations from normal behavior or activities are observed in the recorded audio and visual signals.
