Abstract:
A method and system are provided, wherein a user can log in to a first cloud based server using a selected communications device. Upon log in, a selected plurality of video cameras is activated to simultaneously provide respective streaming video from each of the selected plurality of video cameras to a second cloud based server. Upon designation of a first member of the selected plurality of video cameras, the first member streams the respective streaming video from the first member to a communications device of the user, and streaming from all other members of the selected plurality of video cameras is terminated.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of using secondary measurements to make a system-based determination are provided. Some methods can include a transceiver device receiving a first signal from at least one system-based device, the transceiver device receiving a second signal from at least one non-system device, and control circuits coupled to the transceiver device making a system-based determination responsive to both the first signal and the second signal.
Abstract:
A regional monitoring system in communication with a plurality of locally displaced detectors can implement a fusion of inputs from a variety of additional non-system devices. The monitoring system includes a wireless receiver or transceiver enabling the system to detect local traffic from the non-system devices, such as sensors. Information received from such non-system devices can be combined with information from system detectors to initiate activity on other networks, to energize actuators, or to activate system detectors that normally reside in a low energy inactive state.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of a portable communications device and a product exchanging direct commands or requests via bar codes to address a condition of the product are provided. Some methods can include the portable communications device scanning a bar code displayed on the product and generating and displaying a bar code to be scanned by the product, wherein the bar codes represent direct commands or requests to be executed by the portable communications device or the product to address the condition of the product. Additionally or alternatively, some methods can include the product scanning a bar code displayed on the portable communications device and generating and displaying a bar code to be scanned by the portable communications device, wherein the bar codes represent direct commands or requests to be executed by the product or the portable communications device to address the condition of the product.
Abstract:
A regional monitoring system in communication with a plurality of locally displaced detectors can implement a fusion of inputs from a variety of additional, non-system devices. The monitoring system includes a wireless receiver, or transceiver, enabling it to detect local traffic from the non-system devices, such as sensors. Information received from such non-system devices can be combined with information from system detectors to initiate activity on other networks, to energize actuators, or to activate system detectors that normally reside in a low energy, inactive, state.
Abstract:
A system having first and second different communication system can include a plurality of illumination devices having modulatable optical output signals. A plurality of building control units are in wireless communications with one another. Representative units could include ambient condition detectors, intrusion detectors, output devices or actuators. At least some of the units include optical sensors responsive to the modulatable optical output signals, and, wherein in responsive to received, modulated optical output signals, the respective control unit carries out a predetermined function.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method having biometric identification intrusion and access control. The apparatus features a monitoring system, visual input device and an audible input device. The visual and audible input devices are coupled to control circuits of the monitoring system which can implement an authentication process responsive to both visual and audile inputs.
Abstract:
A regional monitoring system can include a plurality of voice sensing units each of which incorporates speech recognition circuitry. In response to recognizing a verbal command at a unit, a coded representation, or token, along with location information, can be transmitted to a system control apparatus. Upon receipt of the token, the control apparatus can carry out the requested command or provide requested information.
