Abstract

Aspects of the invention are directed towards a system and a method for determining a false alarm based on analysis of video/s. One or more embodiments of the invention describe the method comprising steps of receiving one or more pre-recorded videos, the one or more pre-recorded videos indicating a false alarm activation. One or more embodiments of the invention further describe steps of analyzing false alarm activation in the one or more pre-recorded videos and receiving a real-time video captured from a camera. Accordingly, the false alarm is determined in the real-time video based on the analysis of the false alarm activation in the one or more pre-recorded videos.

Claims (34)

1. A method comprising:

receiving one or more pre-recorded videos, the one or more pre-recorded videos indicating a false alarm activation;

analyzing the false alarm activation in the one or more pre-recorded videos;

receiving a real-time video captured from a camera; and

determining a false alarm in the real-time video based on the analysis of the false alarm activation in the one or more pre-recorded videos;

wherein the false alarm activation in the one or more pre-recorded videos or the false alarm in the real-time video depicts a false activation of an alarm by a user;

wherein the alarm comprises a fire alarm, a smoke alarm, or a heat alarm.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the false alarm in the real-time video is determined by comparing the real-time video with the one or more pre-recorded videos.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more pre-recorded videos indicating false alarm activation are filtered and designated by a server.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the filtering and designation of the pre-recorded videos is enabled at a user terminal.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, generating an alert when the false alarm is determined in the real-time video.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, providing an indication to a facility when the false alarm is not determined in the real-time video.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the alarm is activated when the user touches, pulls, presses or triggers an alarm unit.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the camera and the alarm unit are installed proximate to each other.

9. A system comprising:

a receiver adapted to receive one or more pre-recorded videos, the one or more pre-recorded videos indicating a false alarm activation;

an analysis unit adapted to analyze the false alarm activation in the one or more pre-recorded videos;

the receiver adapted to receive a real-time video captured from a camera; and

a determination unit adapted to determine a false alarm in the real-time video based on the analysis of the false alarm activation in the one or more pre-recorded videos;

wherein the false alarm activation in the one or more pre-recorded videos or the false alarm in the real-time video depicts a false activation of an alarm by a user;

wherein the alarm comprises a fire alarm, a smoke alarm, or a heat alarm.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the false alarm in the real-time video is determined by comparing the real-time video with the one or more pre-recorded videos.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more pre-recorded videos indicating false alarm activation are filtered and designated by a server.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein, the determination unit is further adapted to generate an alert when the false alarm is determined in the real-time video.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein, the determination unit is further adapted to provide an indication to a facility when the false alarm is not determined in the real-time video.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the alarm is activated when the user touches, pulls, presses or triggers an alarm unit.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the camera and the alarm unit are installed proximate to each other.

16. A computer readable medium comprising one or more processors and a memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory storing instructions which are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors configured to:

receive one or more pre-recorded videos, the one or more pre-recorded videos indicating a false alarm activation;

analyze the false alarm activation in the one or more pre-recorded videos;

receive a real-time video captured from a camera; and

determine a false alarm in the real-time video based on the analysis of the false alarm activation in the pre-recorded one or more videos;

wherein the false alarm activation in the one or more pre-recorded videos or the false alarm in the real-time video depicts a false activation of an alarm by a user;

wherein the alarm comprises a fire alarm, a smoke alarm, or a heat alarm.
