Abstract: Communications between an onsite surveillance system and a plumbing system for actuating one or more components of the plumbing system based on data sensed by the onsite surveillance system. A method includes receiving an image frame from a surveillance camera and identifying an object of interest within the image frame. The method includes instructing a plumbing controller to actuate one or more components of a plumbing system in response to determining that the object of interest depicts a non-authorized person located at the property and/or receiving an indication from a user that the non-authorized person is located at the property.

Abstract: Techniques for quick pairing between detection devices and security panels are described herein. For example, a hub can receive an input that directs the hub to enter a pairing mode. In response, the hub can enter into the pairing mode by detecting that a first detection device has entered an access point mode for extending a range of a wireless network for the first detection device. The hub can receive an identification for the wireless network for the first detection device from the first detection device. The hub can be connected to the wireless network for the first detection device using the identification. The first detection device can be paired to a wireless router.

Abstract: Techniques for improving alarm event detection for security systems are described herein. For example, a security system can receive a first set of data associated with an event in an environment from a first detection device. The security system can instruct a second detection device to detect a second set of data for the environment based on the first set of data. The security system can determine an alarm status for the event based at least in part on a condition of the event output by an artificial intelligence model. The artificial intelligence model can output the condition responsive to receiving an input including the first set of data and the second set of data. The alarm status can include a false alarm event or an alarm event. The security system can output an alarm indicating the event based on determining that the alarm status is an alarm event.

Abstract: A home security device may include one or more sensors and a camera for capturing image data. The home security device may also include processors and a non-transitory computer-readable memory. The home security device may perform operations including detecting a trigger by the camera and/or the sensors and receiving image data representing a field of view. The field of view may include a suspected object of interest. The operations may include identifying a region of interest containing the suspected object of interest. The operations may include determining that the suspected object of interest is an object of interest based on output from an artificial intelligence model. The operations may also include providing a first video stream representing the field of view and second video stream representing the region of interest for presentation at the computing device substantially simultaneously.

Abstract: Systems and devices for fault tolerant surveillance systems. A system includes a surveillance device comprising a camera, a high-frequency antenna configured to receive and transmit data over a wireless local area network, and a low-frequency radio transceiver configured to receive and transmit data.

Abstract: Systems and devices for fault tolerant surveillance systems. A system includes a server and a security gateway in communication with the server by way of a network. The system includes a camera in communication with the security gateway, wherein the camera is installed at a location under surveillance. The security gateway comprises a processor configured to execute instructions including receiving an alarm event from one or more sensors installed at the location under surveillance, and, in response to receiving the alarm event, instructing the camera to capture a series of image frames.

Abstract: A method may include receiving an event message from a home security edge device, including image data. The method may include determining whether the image data represents a false trigger event based on inputting the image data into an artificial intelligence model and/or receiving a user input. The user input may be responsive to a presentation of the image data. If the image data represents the false trigger event, the method may include generating training data for retraining the artificial model. The training data may include a portion of the image data. The method may include updating a local dataset to include the training data and training the artificial intelligence model. The method may include transmitting the training data to a central database. If the image data does not represent a false trigger event, the method may include providing a security alert for display on one or more user devices.

Abstract: A home security gateway device may include a housing body characterized by a perimeter extending about the housing body. The home security gateway device may include a plurality of carrier bodies distributed about and connected proximate the perimeter of the housing body at several mounting locations. Each carrier body may be configured to support a three-dimensional antenna. The home security gateway device may include a plurality of three-dimensional antennas, each received by and connected to a respective carrier body. A first three-dimensional antenna may be configured to send and receive radio frequency signals on one or more first channels, and a second three-dimensional antenna may be configured to send and receive second radio frequency signals on two or more second channels. The first channels may be distinct from the second channels.

Abstract: A method of providing a ubiquitous navigation and program guide user interface that is common across a heterogeneous multitude of digital media devices. A navbar user interface persistently displays across a topmost portion of a display for each of the heterogeneous multitude of digital media devices when the digital media device is operating in a mode other than a full screen display of digital media content. The navbar user interface presents a limited set of icons associated with a navigation and media guide user interface for different kinds of digital media content and device operations that are common across the heterogeneous multitude of digital media devices. The navbar user interface is operated in a scrolling manner to display and select a navigation and media guide interface for a desired one of the different kinds of digital media content and device operations by selecting an associated one of the limited set of icons.

Abstract: A method for establishing a household network that includes providing a secure set-top device (SSD) operably connected to the Internet; assigning the SSD to a credit card account to define a household network associated with the SSD; enrolling a digital media device in the household network; and requesting a digital media file for a digital media device within the household network. A digital media file may be requested via any device in the household network by a process that may include verifying that the digital media file is valid for the household network and if valid, causing the SSD to process the request, including identifying the digital media device and authorizing a charge to the credit card account, if required, to complete the request.

Abstract: A method and system for delivering digital content to a multitude of set-top devices that are purchased by consumers and connected to the Internet as part of a virtual private network (VPN) provides more efficient and secure distribution of digital content such as movies, television, music, games and other digital media. Each set-top device is secured by using a mass storage device to store digital content that is partitioned into a consumer portion and a VPN portion. Unlike traditional computers that can access digital content on the Internet with browser interfaces running on computer displays, the set-top devices have limited operating system access with no browser interfaces and are designed to be operated by the consumer from a navigation and program guide user interface displayed on a digital media device.
