• a processor configured to:
• identify the audible speech as unusual conversation based on pre-programmed or machine learned patterns of unusual behavior, wherein the processor configured to identify the audible speech as unusual conversation is further configured to:
• create one or more self-organizing cluster maps (SOCMs) to facilitate identification of one or more individuals exhibiting certain behaviors indicative of ulterior motives, the one or more individuals including the individual in the monitored area;
• and
• classifying the individual based on the SOCMs in accordance with at least one behavior type identifier comprising at least one or more of theft, reconnaissance, loitering, and collusion;
• detect movement of the individual based on the collection of vibration signals of the individual;
