US-12627773-B2 - Data acquisition and dissemination platform

Abstract

An apparatus and system for surveillance via an imaging system within an enclosure. The enclosure is capable of being mounted to any number of locations such as light poles, power poles, buildings, awnings, and overhangs. The imaging system is capable of recording to local storage, provide live images or also transmitting lower quality images or video clips based on additional sensors such as motion sensors. The imaging system can transmit the images or video clips over a network connection that can include cellular or other wired or wireless connectivity. The apparatus and system can be powered by any number of sources including AC, DC, solar and wind energy.

Claims (20)

1. 1 . A system for securing an object to a securing site comprising: at least one strap; an attachment plate for placement at a securing site; wherein the attachment plate comprising a plate, at least two sides, and a rear plate; wherein each of the at least two sides have at least one opening configured to allow the at least one strap to pass through; and a mounting plate for placement on the object, wherein the mounting plate is offset from the object by a fixed distance sized to receive the plate of the attachment plate between the mounting plate and the object.
2. 2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one strap further comprises at least one fastener for securing the at least one strap to the securing site.
3. 3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the rear plate further comprises an indention.
4. 4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the rear plate further comprises a bend.
5. 5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plate and the at least two sides are welded together.
6. 6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the rear plate and the at least two sides are welded together.
7. 7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein fixed distance is created by a set of fastening points that secure the mounting plate to the object.
8. 8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting plate further comprises at least one strap opening.
9. 9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting plate further comprises an offset plate.
10. 10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the offset plate is securing to the mounting plate via welding.
11. 11 . A device for securing an object to a receiving unit comprising: a mounting plate for placement on the object, wherein the mounting plate offset from the object by a fixed distance sized to receive a plate of an attachment plate between the mounting plate and the object; and a set of fasteners that couple the mounting plate to the object.
12. 12 . The device of claim 11 , wherein fixed distance is created by the set of fasteners that secure the mounting plate to the object.
13. 13 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the mounting plate further comprises at least one strap opening.
14. 14 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the mounting plate further comprises an offset plate.
15. 15 . The device of claim 14 , wherein the offset plate is securing to the mounting plate via welding.
16. 16 . A device for receiving and securing an object comprising: an attachment plate for placement at a securing site; wherein the attachment plate comprising a plate sized to be received in an offset from the object between a mounting plate and the object, at least two sides, and a rear plate; and wherein each of the at least two sides have at least one opening configured to allow at least one strap to pass through; wherein the plate extends beyond the at least two sides and is configured to be received by a securing mechanism.
17. 17 . The device of claim 16 , wherein the rear plate further comprises an indention.
18. 18 . The device of claim 16 , wherein the rear plate further comprises a bend.
19. 19 . The device of claim 16 , wherein the plate and the at least two sides are welded together.
20. 20 . The device of claim 16 , wherein the rear plate and the at least two sides are welded together.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a continuation application of U.S. Non-Provisional application Ser. No. 17/507,164, filed Oct. 21, 2021, which is a continuation application of U.S. Non-Provisional application Ser. No. 15/919,825, filed Mar. 13, 2018, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND Technical Field The present disclosure relates to a data acquisition and dissemination system. More particularly, and not by way of limitation, the present disclosure is directed to a system and apparatus for a data acquisition and dissemination system for use in remote and populated locations. Description of Related Art Video surveillance systems have been around for many years but there are many flaws that must be addressed when a video surveillance system is to be used in a remote location. These remote locations could include along telephone and light poles in parts of a city or town that has a higher crime rate, or location such as a road intersection where accidents frequently occur. Locations such as these often can have little to no cellular signals (3G, 4G, or LTE, or other cellular signals), or other data transmission signals such as wireless local area network (“WLAN” or Wi-Fi”). Current video surveillance systems require the video surveillance system to store the video locally or transmit it live to a central observance and storage location, i.e., a central police or monitoring station. Alternatively, current systems require an office or other individual to service, remove, or download the recorded and capture surveillance data for analysis. Thus, current systems require high costs in data transmission or high costs in manpower. It would be advantageous to have a system and apparatus for video surveillance that overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. The present invention provides such a system and apparatus. BRIEF SUMMARY The present disclosure is a surveillance system and apparatus that will allow law enforcement, government agencies, commercial businesses, and concerned individuals the ability to capture and monitor surveillance audio, video, and images remotely in a live, semi-live, or delayed playback mode. Thus, in one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a system and apparatus that allow for Edge Recording, or remote connection to monitor and analyze locally stored surveillance data. In another aspect, the present disclosure is directed to an ability to quickly and efficiently change out camera systems to allow for specific recording abilities. Such as, but not limited to, higher resolution imaging, stronger or higher magnification imaging, night vision, 4K imaging, and infrared imaging. Additionally, the present disclosure may also be able to perform License Plate Recognition (“LPR”), stop or red light violations, and/or speeding violation. In another aspect, the present disclosure is directed to an ability to utilize a multitude of sensors or data acquisition devices, manners, and means to gather data and information from the surveillance location. Some of the multitude of sensors or data acquisition devices, manners, and means to gather data and information can include motion detectors, radar or speed detection sensors, LPR reader, line detection, face detection, shot or audio capture, and/or infrared light projection, laser tripwire or other forms of analog or digital trip or line break sensors. In yet another aspect, the present disclosure is directed to utilize not only cellular data transmission systems but also WLAN, LAN, mesh networks, and other communications systems such as satellite, Global Positioning System (“GPS”), or other systems. Additionally, in another aspect, the present disclosure is directed to the utilization of an on-board computer for the capture or acquisition, analysis, and/or dissemination of captured, acquired, and/or analyzed data.
