In some embodiments, power management module 416 is a component that allows monitoring center 400 to control the provisioning of power by any smart outlet to which monitoring center 400 has an electrical or network connection. In some embodiments, power management module 416 transmits commands to smart outlets and smart power adapters such as commands to activate or deactivate them.

Exemplary Smart Power Connection Operation

Exemplary usage of contraband detection system 100 will be described with respect to FIGS. 5-7. The exemplary usage described in FIGS. 5-7 can be performed by processing logic that can comprise hardware (e.g., circuitry, dedicated logic, programmable logic, microcode, etc.), software (e.g., instructions executing on a processing device), or a combination thereof. For illustrative purposes, FIGS. 5-7 are described with respect to FIGS. 1-4 but are not limited to these example embodiments. The methods described in FIGS. 5-7 can be performed by processing logic that can comprise hardware (e.g., circuitry, dedicated logic, programmable logic, microcode, etc.), software (e.g., instructions executing on a processing device), or a combination thereof. It is to be appreciated that additional steps, such as additional object recognition steps, may be performed. Moreover, not all steps may be needed to perform the disclosure provided herein. Further, some of the steps may be performed simultaneously, or in a different order than shown in FIGS. 5-7, as will be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art. Additionally, some steps can be combined with steps of methods from other figures and performed as a single step.
