- collecting security data from a security data collection unit;
providing the security data to a first security station having a first operator at the first security station monitoring the security data;
selecting at least a second security station from among a plurality of second security stations based on pre-defined criteria, the selected second security station having a second operator at the second security station for providing supervisory assistance to the first operator responsive to a consultation request from the first operator;
providing the security data to the second security station so that the first security station and the second security station have concurrent access to the security data; and

Abstract
There is provided a system and method of selectively directing collected security data that may be displayed concurrently at a first security station and at a supervisor station, and providing a communication link between such first security station and such supervisor station so that a supervisor may assist a security operator in the evaluation of the collected security data and in making a decision about such collected data.
There is further provided a system and method of determining the height of a part of a body by capturing an image of such part with a camera at a known height and known distance from such body, computing an angle of a horizontal line from a lens of such camera and a line from such camera to such part of such body, and calculating the distance between the height of such camera and the height of such part of such body.

20. A security system having supervisory assistance capabilities, comprising:
-
a security data collection unit; a first viewing unit operably coupled to the security data collection unit, and configured to display collected security data to a first operator stationed at the first viewing unit; a second viewing unit to display the collected security data concurrently with the display on the first viewing unit to a second operator stationed at the second viewing unit as a supervisor to the first operator; and a controller operably coupled to the security data collection unit and the second viewing unit, the controller configured to selectively direct collected security data to the second viewing unit from among a plurality of different second viewing units on the basis of pre-defined criteria, the security data being directed over a bidirectional communication link facilitating communication between the operators stationed at the first viewing unit and the second viewing unit for monitoring the collected security data responsive to a consultation request for supervisory assistance from the second operator. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
