Weapon presence detection system in holster with video recording capability
A newly granted patent (Publication Number: US11946722B2) describes a system designed to detect the presence or absence of a weapon in a holster. The system includes a detector with various components such as a sensor circuit, communication circuit, memory, and processing circuit. The sensor circuit, utilizing a coil to generate an electromagnetic field, can detect characteristics indicating the weapon's presence or absence in the holster. The system also features a mount to position the detector correctly and a video recording system that can initiate video recording based on signals received from the detector.
Furthermore, the patent details a method performed by the system, involving entering calibrate and field modes to determine base-line values associated with the weapon's presence or absence. The processing circuit measures values from the sensor circuit, compares them to the base-line values, and wirelessly transmits notices for further actions. The camera, receiving these notices, can then initiate video recording of incidents. The method also includes features like user identification for permitted access and averaging multiple readings to establish base-line values. Overall, the system and method aim to enhance security measures by efficiently detecting weapon presence in holsters and triggering appropriate responses like video recording based on the detected signals.
