Abstract

A system is provided for collecting surveillance data from one or more sensor units and incorporating the surveillance data into a surveillance database. The system is configured to retrieve surveillance data from the surveillance database and perform predetermined analytical functions on the data. The system is also configured to present surveillance data and the results of data analysis in one or more predetermined formats.

Claims (11)

1. A surveillance management system for managing a three-dimensional data model of an area under surveillance by one or more surveillance devices that provides surveillance data, comprising:

a sensor system including the one or more surveillance devices and configured to detect predetermined conditions and generate surveillance data in response thereto, said surveillance data including position data;

a processing system configured to receive said surveillance data and incorporate said surveillance data into a surveillance database;

a control and command system operative to retrieve predetermined surveillance data from said surveillance database and to generate a three-dimensional data model of an area under surveillance in accordance with said position data.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein said control and command system is further configured to generate and output reports based upon said surveillance data.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein said control and command system is further configured to distribute said surveillance data over a network.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein said control and command system is further configured to generate graphical representations of said three-dimensional data model for display on a display device, based upon said surveillance data.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein said sensor system comprises a sensor unit.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein said sensor unit is configured to detect predetermined conditions and to generate surveillance data representative of the detected conditions.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein said surveillance data comprises data indicative of the time said conditions where detected.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein said surveillance data comprises data indicative of the location of said detected conditions.
