Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure establish a premises monitoring system including an image recognition system that can detect a closed status and an ajar status for a closure device at a premises. The detection can be, for example, by a suitable camera which may be mounted in a stationary position or in a moving position, such as on a drone, for example. The image recognition system is in communication with a remote system such as a premises management system. The remote system can determine, based on images captured by the image recognition system whether an authorized user associated with the closure device is present on the premises. If an authorized user is determined not to be present on the premises, an alert can be issued.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for premises monitoring, comprising:
- detecting, via an image recognition system comprising a camera, an ajar status for a first storage unit at a premises, wherein the first storage unit is positioned in a group of storage units at the premises;
- identifying the first storage unit, via the camera, from the group of storage units based on a visible feature of the storage unit;
- using the identification of the first storage unit, determining an authorized user associated with the first storage unit and determining whether the authorized user associated with the first storage unit is present on the premises;
- and
- upon an authorized user not determined to be present on the premises, issuing an alert.
A system for premises monitoring, comprising:
- an image recognition system comprising a camera;
- a premises management system;
- and
- a processor and a memory storing instructions, wherein the instructions are operable to cause the processor to:
- receive a detection from the image recognition system that a first storage unit at a premises has an ajar status;
- identify the first storage unit, via the camera, based on detecting a visible feature or location of the first storage unit;
- using the identification of the storage unit, determine an authorized user associated with the first storage unit and determine whether the authorized user associated with the first storage unit is present on the premises;
- and
- upon an authorized user not determined to be present on the premises, issue an alert.
