Automated, remotely-verified alarm system with intrusion and video surveillance and digitial video recording

摘要

An automated self-monitored alarm verification solution including at least a premises portion, a server portion, and an end user device portion. Alarm verification includes capturing by an image capture device at least one image in response to a detection event, and transmitting a first data signal including the image to a local signal processing device. The signal processing device transmits a second signal including at least a portion of the image to a remote hosted server according to at least a first set of predetermined parameters. After receiving the second signal, the server transmits a third signal including at least a portion of the image from the hosted server to a user device. Using the user device, a user views the image and indicates a validity status of the alarm based at least in part on the content of the image.

主权项

1. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
receive from a sensor an indication of an event at a monitored premise; analyze, using video analytics and based on the indication of the event, an image associated with the event to automatically identify whether the image satisfies an alarm trigger; send to a first user, according to a set of configuration parameters defined by the first user, and based on the image failing to satisfy the alarm trigger, a first signal representing the indication of the event such that the first user can access the image associated with the event; send to a second user, according to the set of configuration parameters, a second signal representing the indication of the event such that the second user can access the image associated with the event; receive a verification notification that the second user has verified the event as a valid alarm event; and send, in response to the verification notification a signal to an emergency response service provider to provide the emergency response service provider access to the image associated with the event.
