System and Method to Remotely Detect Alarms

摘要

A system and method for detecting the activation of at least one alarm has at least one alarm detection device, at least one alarm, and a cloud storage platform. The alarm detection device can monitor and analyze the tonal and/or vibrational qualities of a sound to determine its origin. If the sound is determined to be a warning alarm (i.e. home security system), the information associated with that detection is forward to a gateway which then forwards an alert to an end user. The alarm detection system and methodology can be used with existing alarm systems (retrofit) with little added cost to the consumer. This creates a simple and affordable monitoring solution use in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

1. A system for monitoring at least one remotely located alarm and alerting a remote location of a change in an operative state of the remotely located alarm, the system comprising:
at least one alarm capable of emitting at least one sound; at least one alarm detection device,
wherein the alarm detection device has a housing and is capable of being removably mounted within a proximity to the at least one alarm, and wherein the alarm detection device has at least an accelerometer, a wireless transceiver, a sound collection device, and a processor; at least one wireless gateway operably coupled to the wireless transceiver,
wherein the wireless gateway receives at least one first signal from the wireless transceiver and transmits at least one second signal to at least one of a network based remote server, electronic page, or at least one of a plurality of users.
