Abstract: A security control panel is operatively coupled to remote support devices and includes configuration settings with at least some of the configuration settings assuming that the security control panel is operatively coupled to remote support devices of particular device types. Each remote support device stores device parameters including a device type parameter that specifies a device type of the respective remote support device. The security control panel receives the device type parameter from the remote support devices and determines when one or more of the remote support devices has an incompatible device type. When so, a configuration error is identified and the configuration error is corrected by reconfiguring the remote support devices that are identified as being incompatible with one or more of the configuration settings of the security control panel. Devices and sensors receive configuration corrections based on regulatory standard deviation analysis, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Abstract: A building control system may include a controller and a number of sensors. The controller may be configured to predict whether one or more of the sensors are likely to malfunction. The controller may be configured to predict a malfunction of a sensor via a process in which resistance values associated with the sensor are monitored over time. The controller may be configured to predict a malfunction of a sensor via a process in which a walk test of the sensor is captured via video and then analyzed. The controller may be configured to predict a malfunction of a sensor via a process in which a number of times that a sensor is bypassed when the building control system is armed. The controller may be configured to predict a malfunction of a sensor via a process in which trigger events among a cross-zone pair of sensors are monitored.

Abstract: A apparatus is provided that includes a plurality of wireless sensors arranged into a mesh network, wherein each of the plurality of sensors detects threats within a secured geographic area, a processor of each of the plurality of sensors that detects operational and environmental operating conditions of a respective one of the plurality of sensors and reports the operational and environmental operating conditions, a control panel processor that receives and correlates at least one of the operational and environmental operating conditions of the respective one of the plurality of sensors to a potential failure mode and reports the potential failure mode to a cloud application, and a cloud processor of the cloud application that determines a location of the respective one of the plurality of sensors and reports the potential failure mode and the location to a person responsible for the respective one of the plurality of sensors.
