INTELLIGENT SURVEILLANCE ALARM SYSTEM AND METHOD

An anomaly detection system (10) and method including; a plurality of sensor means (12) for providing an output representative of the current operational environment of the subject premises. There are means (14), responsive to the output, for translating the output to a signal, and control means (18) for statistically defining the normal operational parameters of the subject premises. Stochastic means (16), responsive to the output representatives of the current operational environment periodically adjust the definition of the normal operational parameters of the subject premises. There are processor means (20) for comparing the output representative of the current operational environment with the updated definition of the normal operational parameters of the subject premises, and for detecting a deviation therebetween. Output means (22), responsive to the means for comparing and detecting, provide an output representative of the detected deviation between the output representative of the current operational environment and the normal operation parameters of the subject premises. A plurality of response devices (24), responsive to the output means for providing a specific response sequence representative of the nature and location of the detected deviation.
