False Alarm Avoidance In Security Systems

摘要

Embodiments of intrusion detection systems are described and which include an intrusion detection panel that receives binary and metadata sensor data from which the presence of an alarm condition is detected. In addition sensor devices analyze sensor data received from other sensor devices that are in a peer to peer relationship with the corresponding sensor device to validate whether the indicated alarm condition is a valid alarm or a false alarm.

1. An intrusion detection panel comprises:
a processor device; a memory in communication with the processor device; and a storage device that stores a program of computing instructions for execution by the processor using the memory, the program comprising instructions configured to cause the processor to:
receive intrusion detection sensor data from at least two different sensors, a first one of the sensors sending a binary signal to the intrusion detection panel and a second one of the sensors sending a signal that includes metadata to the panel, the metadata comprising information resulting from processing of inputs by second one of the sensors with the information comprising data regarding a state of an environment within the range of the second one of the sensors;determine that the first one of the sensors indicates the presence of an alarm condition;analyze the metadata received from the second sensor to validate whether the indicated alarm condition is a valid alarm or a false alarm; andraising an alarm when the first one of the sensors and the second one of the sensors confirm the presence of an alarm condition.
