摘要:
A number of different security systems, such as in home or business locations, periodically transmit status data to a remote facility such as a central monitoring station so that it is continuously informed of the security systems' status. The status may relate to an alarm status, armed status, or trouble code status. A user interface at the remote facility provides a spreadsheet format that allows a user to quickly ascertain the status of the security systems, and to send commands to the security systems. The security systems may be controlled individually or in groups, such as to add or delete authorizations. The user interface can filter or sort the information, or obtain further details. Other information, such as video and audio data from a security system, can also be provided to the remote facility for use in the user interface. Information can be recorded for subsequent playback.

A notification system for receiving a request for a remote status update from a remote device is disclosed. The notification system comprises a server for relaying the request for the remote status update, an access server for receiving the relayed request for the remote status update and for determining whether a remote device is registered to receive the remote status update, a host website for allowing the remote device to be registered to receive the remote status update, and a central monitoring server for generating the remote status update based upon the request. The central monitoring server is coupled to a remote security device. The security device is configured to detect an event and transmit a message to the central monitoring server in response to the detected event. The remote status update includes information regarding the detected event.

A method and system for automatically displayed data on a keypad display of a security system. The system receives the data from an external database, determines whether the data is to be displayed based upon at least one display criterion, formats the data for displaying on the keypad display in a format compatible with the keypad display and displays the data in the format compatible with the keypad display. The system actively polls a third party source for the data and stores the data in the external database. The determination whether the data is to be displayed be can performed at the local security system or a central network operation center.

Security systems, such as in a home or other building, periodically transmit status data to a remote facility so that the remote facility is continuously informed of the security systems' status. A user interface device at one security system, or a web browser at a personal computer, can obtain information regarding, or provide commands to, one or more other security systems at remote locations by communicating with the remote facility. The remote facility also reports specified events, such as alarms, that occur at a security system to one or more other security systems. Other information, such as video and audio data from a security system, can also be provided to the remote facility for sharing with other security systems. An intercom feature can also be established via the remote facility.

摘要:
A system and method are provided that allow mobile devices to securely communicate over wireless network with one or more security system control panels for controlling the security systems remotely. A mobile device may include an application or software that presents a virtual security keypad to the user on the mobile device for entering data or receiving data as if the user were directly using a security system control panel at a premise being secured. Mobile device communicates with a network operating center system using encrypted communication. The network operating decrypts the communication from the mobile device and sends it to a security system control panel. The network operating center system receives responses from the security system control panel, encrypts the responses and sends to the mobile device.
摘要:
A method and system for remotely controlling a security panel of a security alarm system over un-encrypted communication paths are provided. In one aspect, a message is received in plain text over un-encrypted communication path, for example, from a remote device to control a security panel of a security system installed at a premise. The plain text message is correlated to a security panel command and the security panel command is sent to a security panel installed at the premise. The security panel executes the command and sends a confirmation status message. The status message is correlated to a second plain text message and communicated over the un-encrypted communication path to the remote device that initiated the command.
摘要:
Dual site supervision is provided for a control channel cellular radio for a fire alarm reporting system that uses logic that causes a control channel cellular transceiver to operate in a nonstandard manner and to use a different and second cellular base station or site that the unit would not normally select operating pursuant to a standard cell phone software module. The logic causes the control channel cellular transceiver to monitor and test through more than one cell base station or site, thereby meeting the dual communication path supervision requirement for UL listed communications systems for stand alone fire alarm reporting systems. The available cellular control channels are first scanned, and the signal strength of each cellular control channel is measured. Then the cellular control channel with the strongest signal strength and the cellular control channel with the second strongest signal strength which are verified as being available for the assigned carrier are selected to report the status of the fire alarm system. A cellular radio message on the status of the fire alarm system is transmitted over the cellular control channel with the strongest signal strength, or if unavailable over the cellular control channel with the second strongest signal strength.
