Affordability
State of Security Status
• Control rooms are costly, energy
consuming, and understaffed for
video volume
• Most security systems operate in
a record only mode.
• Technology until now has failed to
find the solutions desired.
HarmAlarm: Next Generation
Defined by the concept & claims of US Patent 7,738,008, June 2010
•
•
•
•
A surveillance field is formed by two independent imaging sources.
Objects common to the surveillance field are detected:
– They are computed as physical objects in linear dimensions (SqFt)
– They are located at precise coordinates (x,y,z)
– And they are tracked over time.
When objects are tracked, real time data is available:
– This data supports higher order threat detection criteria (behavioral).
– Also, the simultaneous detection, independent validation, & tracking
eliminates false alarms
The elimination of false alarms:
– HarmAlarm the first automatic physical security system in the industry.
– Detection  Response/Alarm, the benefit is:
Improve the effectiveness of control rooms and provide recordonly Security systems a real time capability

Revolutionary
• HarmAlarm’s preferred embodiment is:
– Infrared Imagers with wireless connectivity.
• Why?
– Infrared imaging provides stable target signatures.
– Infrared enhances target tracking
• Especially in multi-target environments
• Precise target signature and uniqueness
• Maintains all objects in the track file
– The track file:
• Needed for advanced behavioral threat recognition
Infrared technology ensures the lowest false alarms rate.

HarmAlarm Slant Range
Calculations, for R1 & R2
• R1 & R2 calculations require
information from both cameras
• Both cameras, the 3 D solution
is patent protected
• HarmAlarm is not a flat earth
extrapolation (competitors)
• HarmAlarm equations are
closed form scientific updated
at video frame rates.
• Powerful “best estimating”
algorithms based upon target
signature properties.
Equations shown have been simplified from
their spherical trigonometry form.
• R1 = (Distance Between
Cameras) x Sin (camera B
angleo)/ (Sin (180o – {camera
B angleo} – {camera A
angleo})
• R2 = (Distance Between
Cameras) x Sin (camera A

IR Video Frames
• The four sequence still frames were
over a 12 second period
• More than 720 frames for each camera
was taken, as single shot data.
• The subjects actual size, height, and
inherent thermal contrast was computed.
•The information unique identifies the
subject.

Green Benefits
Green Applications
IR technology
• Old practices, formed when energy was cheap
and abundant.
• Wasting energy is an economic and
environmental problem.
• A major use of electrical energy is for lighting.
• One of the common uses of night time
illumination is for security.
Commercial Car Lot
Application
•
•
•
•
•
•
70,000+ cars lots in the USA.
They operate and deploy strong illumination.
It is estimated they consume greater 500 KMWHs per day.
~40% of the power is consumed after the close of business.
Millions of dollars per day with a large carbon footprint.
Car theft rings are sophisticated.
– They targeted certain car models
– To be dissembled, crated, and shipped to foreign markets
within hours of the theft.
– The car thief is not just stealing, they are filling an order.
• When a car lot is lighted, the total time from entering, locating the
car, and departing is less than 5 minutes for a professional thief.
• We would like to increase the response window to > 10 minutes
Darkness:
The new Ally of Security
• HarmAlarm places the scene in total darkness.
– Darkness slows down the actions and movements of the thief.
– The search takes longer.
• The thief is identified when he enters the surveillance field.
– Early detection
– Actions are slowed down
– The time window is lengthen
– The opportunity for apprehension is increased.
• Infrared technical performance is superior to visual cameras,
stable signature.
• The stable IR signature makes a positive unambiguous
identification possible, Inherent Thermal Contrast (ITC).
• Better performance, lower cost of ownership, and Green Benefits
Enterprise Value
Enterprise Value
