Abstract:
1. A surveillance system for monitoring an area of interest, the system comprising: computing unit; means for memory connected to said computing unit; means for input connected to said computing unit to receive user instructions; means for displaying connected to said computing unit and to a plurality of sensors to display data received from at least one of said sensors and system data, said displaying means comprising: a database of three dimensional coordinates indicative of the coverage space of said sensors; wherein said displays are capable of displaying at least text and video; wherein said plurality of sensors are in active communication with said computing unit, the coverage area of at least one sensor within said area of interest is mapped in a process of mapping, and saved to said computing unit, said coverage area is the area said sensor is able to sense; said mapping including data describing elements or entities that interfere with the line of sight of said sensor; said computing unit to compute for at least one of said sensors, the three dimensional coordinates of a location of a sensed item within said coverage area, based on data indicative of the location of said sensed item from said at least one sensor; said computing unit to accept an indication of an object of interest in a two dimensional image displayed on said means for displaying from a user, and calculate a set of three dimensional coordinates indicative of the location of said object in said area of interest; said computing unit to designate at least one sensor to monitor and track said indicated object of interest; said means for displaying to display on said central display said location of said object of interest; and said means for displaying to display on said encircling displays areas neighboring the area displayed by said central display.
