A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11941114B1) outlines a method for a security system that involves receiving inputs from sensors, including video inputs, detecting a presence within the field of view, determining if the presence is within a specified zone, identifying the presence as a person using artificial intelligence, analyzing characteristics of the person, predicting an event based on these characteristics, and taking security actions to prevent the predicted event from occurring. The method also includes receiving inputs from cameras, analyzing various characteristics of the person such as gait, behavior, and clothing, setting thresholds for predicting events, and utilizing data from a security community to enhance event prediction.

Furthermore, the patent describes an apparatus with a processor and memory that executes instructions to carry out the method described. The apparatus can receive inputs from sensors, detect a person within the field of view, determine characteristics of the person, predict events, and take security actions. It can also receive video, image, or audio inputs from cameras, analyze characteristics of the person, set thresholds for event prediction, and transmit alerts to users. The apparatus can be integrated into various devices such as control panels, computing devices, servers, or outdoor cameras, and can transmit audio messages, images, or video feeds to users to enhance security measures and deter potential threats effectively.
