Abstract
A computer-implemented method for detecting a user accessing a room by a camera communicatively coupled to a lock mechanism of an entry way of a room is provided. The computer-implemented method includes receiving, by the camera, an access signal from the lock mechanism. The access signal indicates that the user is entering the room via the entry way. The computer-implemented method includes automatically capturing, by the camera, at least one image of a predefined area corresponding to the entry way of the room.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for detecting a user accessing a room by one or more cameras communicatively coupled to a lock mechanism of an entry way of a room, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a first camera of the one or more cameras, an access signal from the lock mechanism, the access signal indicating that the user is entering the room via the entry way;
- and
- automatically capturing, by the first camera, at least one image of a predefined area corresponding to the entry way of the room.
A detection system comprising one or more cameras communicatively coupled to a lock mechanism of an entry way of a room, a first camera of the one or more cameras comprises a memory and a processor, the memory storing processor executable code executable by the processor to cause:
- receiving, by the first camera, an access signal from the lock mechanism, the access signal indicating that the user is entering the room via the entry way;
- and
- automatically capturing, by the first camera, at least one image of a predefined area corresponding to the entry way of the room.
