  • Patent number: 11595241
    Abstract: A computing device for managing a security system is disclosed. The computing device includes one or more processors. In some embodiments, the one or more processors can receive a number of events occurring in one or more of a number of polling loop networks. The events are monitored by a control device. The one or more processors can determine whether an occurrence frequency of the events exceeds a first threshold, where the occurrence frequency is defined as a number of the events divided by a period of time during which the events occurred. The one or more processors can in response to determining that the occurrence frequency exceeds the first threshold, automatically notify a user of the security system via a web application.

  • Publication number: 20210152579
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a network-based centralized security monitoring (CSM) system. An example CSM includes one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive a plurality of parameter data elements comprising one or more characters for a plurality of parameter types from a monitored site, determine for each of the plurality of parameter types a number of occurrences of a plurality of different character groups in the plurality of parameter data elements, generate a count structure indicating the number of occurrences of the plurality of different character groups in the plurality of parameter data elements for each of the plurality of parameter types, and generate a security signature for the monitored site, the security signature comprising the count structure for each of the plurality of parameter types.

  • Patent number: 10916121
    Abstract: A user interface for a security system includes a processing circuit, the processing circuit including a processor and memory coupled to the processor, the memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processing circuit to receive, from a user via a user device, a user request for information relating to the security system, determine, using natural language processing, an intent and one or more entities associated with the user request, the intent describing a purpose of the user request and the one or more entities describing a type or source of security system data, generate a response to the user request based on the intent and the one or more entities, wherein the response is a graphical display of security system data, and send the response to the user device.

  • Patent number: 10600316
    Abstract: A rules-based emergency exit misuse identification system, including one or more cloud servers. The one or more cloud servers are configured to store instructions to be executed on one or more security systems. The one or more security systems are configured to receive emergency data from a plurality of sensors for a plurality of emergency exits, the emergency data indicating activity of the plurality of emergency exits. The one or more security systems are configured to identify one or more emergency exits for which a burglar alarm event occurred. The one or more security systems are configured to identify past burglar alarm events associated with the one or more emergency exits for which the burglar alarm event occurred. The one or more security systems are configured to determine if the burglar alarm event qualifies as a delay event. The one or more security systems are configured to register and save the emergency data including the burglar alarm event if the burglar alarm qualifies as a delay event.
