Abstract

Disclosed is an intrusion detector that may be used to determine if a person is authorized or unauthorized based upon the person carrying a token in an area being monitored for security. The intrusion detector may include: an interface and processor. The interface may receive video stream data from a camera and token data. The processor may execute operations including: receiving the video stream data and the token data and determining whether a person in the video stream data is carrying a token based upon whether the token data is associated with the person. If the person is determined to not be carrying a token, the person may be displayed as unauthorized.
