Outdoor camera system for person deterrence using sound
The patent US12019744B2 describes a sophisticated outdoor surveillance system that integrates an outdoor camera equipped with a speaker and a controller. This system allows users to define specific zones within the camera's field of view, enabling targeted monitoring. The controller processes data from the camera to detect individuals within these defined zones. Utilizing an artificial intelligence algorithm, the system selects appropriate deterrence sounds from a variety of options based on the characteristics of the detected person. The AI is trained through previous interactions to optimize the effectiveness of the deterrence sounds, which can include various auditory signals such as barking or announcements. The system is designed to emit these sounds in response to the detection of a person, thereby enhancing security measures.
Additionally, the system features a mobile application that facilitates user interaction, allowing users to receive alerts about detected individuals and view images or video feeds from the camera. The application can also notify users of the presence of animals or vehicles. The controller is capable of determining how long a person remains in the monitored zone and can trigger deterrence actions based on user-defined thresholds. The technology also includes capabilities for identifying individuals through stored or biometric information, further personalizing the deterrence response. Overall, this patent outlines a comprehensive approach to outdoor security that leverages AI and user input to enhance monitoring and deterrence strategies.
