Abstract

A position determining system includes a surveillance and monitoring special purpose computer, one or more sensors in electrical communication with the surveillance and monitoring special purpose computer, one or more surveillance cameras in electrical communication with the surveillance and monitoring special purpose computer, the surveillance and monitoring special purpose computer receiving from the one or more sensors positional data about an asset and assembling and forwarding instructions to the one or more surveillance cameras in electrical communication with the surveillance and monitoring special purpose computer, the instructions requesting specific surveillance to be undertaken by the one or more surveillance cameras; and a processor in electrical communication with the surveillance and monitoring special purpose computer that determines if additional data is required about the asset and when additional data is required, assembling and forwarding instructions regarding an action.

Claims (5)

1. A surveillance and content determining system comprising:

a surveillance computer that receives pre-incident weather data regarding one or more weather events, the surveillance computer identifying, based on the weather data, one or more geographic damages zones which are forecast to receive an incident with at least quarter-inch sized hail;

one or more sensors in communication over a network with the surveillance computer, the one or more sensors broadcasting to the surveillance computer at a pre-incident point in time positional data of a vehicular asset;

one or more surveillance cameras installed in a building structure and in communication over the network with the surveillance computer, the surveillance computer receiving from the one or more sensors the positional data of the vehicular asset and automatically sending a trigger, based on the weather data, to the one or more surveillance cameras in communication with the surveillance computer, the trigger causing the one or more surveillance cameras to record specific surveillance of the content of the building structure to generate, at the pre-incident point in time, a visual record of the vehicular asset; and

the surveillance computer further comprising a processor that determines if additional data is required about the vehicular asset, and when additional data is required, sending a notification to a cellular phone of a user.
