The invention belongs to the technical field of electronic surveillance, and relates to a surveillance camera filtering system and method. According to the system and the method disclosed by the invention, a light filter is switched into an infrared light filter in the daytime, and infrared light can be filtered so as to solve the color cast problem caused by the infrared light in the day time; at night, since visible light brings severe interference to a driver at night, a visible light white-light lamp is forbidden to use for snapshotting, the light filter is switched into an all-pass light filter to allow as much light as possible to enter the surveillance camera; meanwhile, the white-light lamp which emits infrared light and ultraviolet light is used, clearer images can be snapshotted since the infrared light and the ultraviolet light have an obvious light filling effect under a condition of dark light at night, and a license number or specific surveillance characteristics can be better extracted.

A method enables the electronic surveillance of telecommunications transmissions in compliance with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) standards. The method involves receiving a data packet intended for transmission to a recipient and storing the data packet in an available buffer. The data packet is then transmitted to the intended recipient and, if it is flagged for surveillance, the data packet is also transmitted to law enforcement officials. This is carried out by retransmitting the original data packet with a new header segment, without creating a copy of the data packet. Once the data packet has been transmitted to the intended recipient and to law enforcement officials (if necessary), the buffer storing the data packet is released such that other data packets can be stored therein.

The present invention relates to an electronic surveillance method and system in a wideband wireless access system. If a law enforcement agency system requests electronic surveillance relative to a specified object, an electronic surveillance system first performs an authentication process using a codebook to authorize the electronic surveillance request. As the result of the authentication process, if it is judged that the electronic surveillance request of the law enforcement agency system is legal, the electronic surveillance system issues an encryption key required for encrypting communication contents with a law enforcement agency and electronic surveillance information. Thereafter, communication and message transmission / reception between the electronic surveillance system and the law enforcement agency system are encrypted and decoded using the encryption key. Accordingly, an illegal electronic surveillance request by an unauthorized user can be blocked, and an encryption key is issued to only an authorized user, such that the authorized user is authorized to access electronic surveillance information. With the authentication process and the encryption, the electronic surveillance information is protected doubly. Therefore, illegal access by an unauthorized user can be prevented.

Manufacturing techniques are described for forming electrical components. For example, a layer of a metal powder composition is deposited onto at least a portion of a substrate. Pressure is applied to the metal powder composition by hydraulic press that has one or more projections in order to capture a pattern on the substrate. The metal powder composition compressed by the projections of the hydraulic press adhere to the substrate to form the captured pattern. The metal powder composition in regions not compressed by the projections of hydraulic press do not adhere to the substrate and may be removed. The metal powder composition may be compressed to form electrical components, such as antennae, capacitor plates, conduction pads and the like, for use in an electronic surveillance system (EAS), a radio frequency identification (RFID) system, or the like.
