METHODS FOR REMOTE MONITORING AND CONTROL OF SECURITY DEVICES OVER A COMPUTER NETWORK

摘要

Methods are provided to access devices over the Internet and to control and/or set states of devices over the Internet. One method includes providing, at a server connected to the Internet, code for enabling access to networked devices at a remote location using a networked computing device. The method can enable receiving a status request to view status of one or more of the networked devices. The method can also enable receiving a control request at the server, via the networked computing device, to operate one or more utility controls at a remote location. The utility controls can be used for any of a variety of purposes. The method is operable for any computing device that has access to the Internet, including wireless hand-held networked devices.
