CENTRAL STATION ALARM VERIFICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

This disclosure relates to a system configured to facilitate remote verification of alarm events. Responsive to detection of an alarm event at a location of interest, clips of security video information and/or substantially real-time images may be presented to an end user on a user device associated with the end user, and/or to a reviewer via a central station, to facilitate determination of whether or not the detected alarm event is false. The system is configured to facilitate remote verification of alarm events by the end user and/or the reviewer while still protecting the privacy of the end user. The system may be configured to allow review of the clips and/or the substantially live images by the reviewer at the central station only responsive to detection of an alarm event, and only for a temporary period of time following the detection of the alarm event.

主权项

1. A system configured to facilitate verification of alarm events, the system comprising:
a server configured to:
receive an indication that an alarm event has been detected for a location of interest;receive security video information associated with the alarm event from one or more cameras monitoring the location of interest;cause electronic recording of one or more clips of security video information from the one or more cameras, an individual clip comprising security video information from an individual camera for a period of time that corresponds to a time of the alarm event; andgenerate substantially real-time image information for the one or more cameras; and a central station configured to receive the indication that the alarm event has been detected and facilitate a determination by a reviewer of whether the detected alarm event is a false alarm event or a verified alarm event, the server configured to, responsive to a request from the central station, provide the real-time image information and a selectable list of the clips for display to the reviewer by the central station such that the determination by the reviewer is based on the clips and the real-time image information;
wherein, the selectable list of clips and the real-time image information are only accessible to the reviewer via the central station for a pre-determined amount of time following the determined alarm event.
