PEDESTAL WITH EMBEDDED CAMERA(S) FOR BEAM STEERING

Systems and methods for operating a pedestal of an Electronic Article Surveillance ("EAS") system. The methods comprise: capturing at least one first image or video by a camera coupled to the pedestal; analyzing the at least one first image or video to detect a person's presence and determine the person's location relative to the camera; determining a first beam pointing direction for the pedestalbased on results of the analysis of the at least one first image or video; and steering a read beam of the pedestal in accordance with the first beam pointing direction so that a main lobe of the pedestal's antenna field pattern covers a first area of an interrogation zone. 用于操作电子物品监视("EAS")系统的基座的系统和方法。所述方法包括：由耦合到所述基座的相机捕获至少一个第一图像或视频；分析所述至少一个第一图像或视频，以检测人员的存在并确定所述人员相对于所述相机的位置；基于对所述至少一个第一图像或视频的分析结果来确定所述基座的第一波束指向方向；以及根据所述第一波束指向方向来操控所述基座的读取波束，以使所述基座的天线场方向图的主瓣覆盖询问区的第一区域。
