Abstract

The present invention is a software as a service platform providing a system and method enabling interactive services between the end-users, emergency responders, and central monitoring stations. In one embodiment, the system provides an electronic notification of an alarm event to an end-user by way of a secure hyperlink to a web portal. The web portal provides a method enabling the end-user to interact with the central monitoring station and/or the emergency responders as well as view live and historical data from the alarm event including video. The system is configured to acquire historical video and data from the actual alarm triggering event from a variety of disparate sources including devices associated with life safety systems and lifestyle systems. The present invention, by enabling interactive services between the end-users, emergency responders, and central monitoring stations, provides better information and a better understanding of the alarm triggering event.

The panel is configured to receive a terminus of a linear heat detection cable and a terminus of a smoke alarm detection piping. The panel includes a smoke detection test port that may receive simulated smoke and is connected to another terminus of the smoke alarm detection piping. A linear heat detection test switch triggers a test mode and interacts with the linear heat detection cable. During the test mode, the system circulates simulated smoke, analyzes air quality and electrical conditions, and activates corresponding alarm indicators. The performance of these functionalities helps determine whether the system meets operational criteria.

Abstract

A method implemented by a security control device of a premises security system that is configured to monitor a premises includes communicating, via the premises security system, with a component of a vehicle and controlling an ability of the vehicle to be driven. The ability of the vehicle to be driven may be based on a state of the premises security system. Sensor information received from a premises device of the security system that indicates the presence of an occupant within the premises may be used to control the ability of the vehicle to be driven. In addition, the premises security system may communicate with the vehicle's key fob and control the ability of the vehicle to be driven using the key fob and its detected location. The ability of the vehicle to be driven can also be managed in accordance with a predefined time schedule.

Abstract

A primary lock device is provided which is configured to wirelessly communicate with a premises security system hub device and at least one secondary lock device in a premises security system. The primary lock device receives a lock configuration, receives a user input, authenticates the user input, and engages or disengages a locking mechanism based at least in part on the lock configuration and a result of authenticating the user input. The primary lock device determines a lock indication based at least in part on the lock configuration and a result of authenticating the user input, and transmits the lock indication to at least one secondary lock device for engaging or disengaging at least one respective lock mechanism of the at least one secondary lock device.

Abstract

According to some embodiments, a premise device for monitoring in a premises monitoring system is provided. The premises device comprises at least one switching element that is switchable between a first position and second position, an electromechanical switch that is triggerable to a closed position by a magnetic field, an alignment indicator configured to indicate the electromechanical switch is aligned for monitoring, a sensor, and a power element. In response to the at least one switching element being in the first position, the at least one switching element is configured to: electrically connect the alignment indicator and power element to the electromechanical switch, electrically disconnect the sensor from the electromechanical switch; and in response to the electromechanical switch being triggered to the closed position by the magnetic field, the alignment indicator is configured to emit visual, audio and/or haptic feedback based on alignment of the electromechanical switch for monitoring.

Abstract

An apparatus and method are described. In at least one embodiment, a premises monitoring system for monitoring a premises is provided. The premises monitoring system comprises a premises device and a power device comprising a rectifier in electrical communication with the premises device. The premises device comprises a video capture element configured to capture video and processing circuitry configured to, in response to a modular wireless transmitter not being removably connected to the premises device, cause transmission of the captured video to the power device via the at least one wired connection. When the modular wireless transmitter is removably connected to the power device, the power device is configured to cause, in response to receiving the captured video, transmission of the captured video via the modular wireless transmitter.

Abstract

A method, node, wireless device and installation device are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, a node configured to operate a security virtual local area network (VLAN) and a customer VLAN independent from the security VLAN is provided. The security VLAN is configured to operate using a first network partition different from a second network partition used by the customer VLAN. The node includes processing circuitry configured to receive information from a first device requesting access to the node, determine whether to add a first device to the security VLAN based at least on the received information from the first device meeting a predefined criterion, and configure the first device to access one of the security VLAN and customer VLAN based at least on the determination.
