Abstract: The disclosure relates to using anonymized audio data for monitoring properties. Disclosed herein are monitoring systems for properties and a method of monitoring properties. One example of a method of monitoring a property includes: (1) deriving at least one raw signal from noise proximate one or more noise detectors at the property, (2) generating a noise score from the at least one raw signal, the noise score being insufficient to reproduce a content of the raw signal, and (3) generating, based on the noise score and at least one or more other factors, a value representing a risk of damage to the property, wherein the one or more other factors include environmental data from at least one smoke sensor at the property.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus are provided with features that allow hosts to be alerted of risks to the well-being of their space that may arise, for example, from a breach of contract, violation of local laws, or violation of established property rules. In one example an air analyzer is provided that includes: (1) multiple sensors including one or more of a digital multi-pixel gas sensor, a digital humidity and temperature sensor, or a particulate matter sensor, wherein each of the multiple sensors is configured to obtain a sample of air and derive therefrom an environmental attribute, wherein the environmental attributes provide a signature of the sampled air, and (2) a smoke classifier configured to classify a smoking event by comparing the signature of sampled air to signatures of a classification model.

Abstract: A noise monitoring device and a method of monitoring a location are disclosed. In one example, the noise monitoring device includes: (1) a microphone configured to detect noise proximate the noise monitoring device and derive raw data therefrom, and (2) a processor configured to determine when at least a portion of the raw data exceeds a threshold during a time period. In one example, the method of monitoring a location includes: (1) deriving raw data from noise proximate a noise monitoring device at the location, (2) comparing, for a designated period of time, at least a portion of the raw data to a threshold, and (3) determining an occurrence of an event at the location based on the comparing.
