Abstract
A system and a method identify the presence and actions of first responders in a region. Receivers can respond to radio frequency identifying tags affixed to people or building assets in the region. One of a plurality of regional cameras can be selected, based on at least one responding receiver, to provide at least one visual display.
Claims29
A system comprising:
- a plurality of wireless signal sensors;
- a plurality of video cameras;
- circuitry for combining signals from various of the sensors with signals from at least one of the video cameras to thereby present a visual display.
A method comprising:
- establishing a plurality of electronic representations of a plurality of regions;
- sensing a wireless signal emanating from within one of the regions;
- combining a real-time image of the vicinity of the origin of the sensed signal from the one region with an electronic representation of the one region;
- and
- presenting a visual representation thereof.
2 more elements
Software recorded on a computer readable medium comprising:
- first software for sensing signals from a plurality of wireless sensors;
- second software, responsive to sensed wireless signals, for selecting a region to be displayed;
- and
- third software to present images associated with at least one sensor in conjunction with a representation of the selected region.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a plurality of cameras;
- a plurality of radio frequency receivers;
- a switch for selecting a camera from the plurality;
- a database which contains at least, a pre-stored set of representations, each representation illustrating an aspect of a region being monitored;
- and
- control software coupled to the sensors, the switch and the database to select a diagram and a camera in response to signals from at least one sensor.
