Abstract

Methods and systems for identifying abnormal sounds in a particular environment. A normal audio stream obtained in the absence of abnormal sounds may be used as a baseline for subsequently processing an incoming audio stream with a processor to determine whether the incoming audio stream from the microphone in the particular environment includes an abnormal audio event for the particular environment. When it is determined that the incoming audio stream includes an abnormal audio event for the particular environment an electronic database may be accessed to determine a location of the abnormal audio event in the particular environment. A video camera with a field of view that includes the location of the abnormal audio event in the particular environment may be identified and the video stream from the identified video camera retrieved and displayed.
