Abstract: Systems and methods for routing data in a network are described. A client device may send a request for video data that has been captured by a camera of a security system. A gateway of the security system may receive the request and determine if the client device is able to support encryption. The gateway may select a protocol with which to transmit the video data to the client device according to a priority attribute of the protocol and the capability of the client device to support encryption. The video data may be sent to the client device via the selected protocol.

Abstract: A system comprises a bridge server configured to exchange event data and control data with premises devices. An application server coupled to the bridge server is configured to exchange the event data and the control data with the bridge server. The application server includes virtual devices comprising logical models corresponding to the premises devices and configured to use the event data and the control data to maintain state of the premises devices. The application server includes a rules engine configured to control interaction among the premises devices. An application engine coupled to the application server communicates with a device application configured for execution when installed on a remote device. The device application generates a user interface configured to present the event data and state of the premises devices and receive as input the control data of the premises devices.

Abstract: A system including a drone or unmanned vehicle configured to perform surveillance of a premises. The drone surveillance includes autonomous navigation and/or remote or optional piloting around the premises. The drone includes a controller coupled to a plurality of sensors configured to collect drone data and security data at the premises, wherein the controller is configured to generate control data for the drone and the premises using the drone data and the security data. A remote device coupled to the drone includes a user interface configured to present the drone data, the security data, and/or the control data.

Abstract: An integrated security system integrates broadband and mobile access and control with conventional security systems and premise devices to provide a tri-mode security network having remote connectivity and access. The integrated security system delivers remote premise monitoring and control functionality to conventional monitored premise protection and complements existing premise protection equipment. The integrated security system integrates into the premise network and couples wirelessly with the conventional security panel, enabling broadband access to premise security systems. Automation devices can be added, enabling users to remotely see live video or pictures and control home devices via a personal web portal or other client device. Camera management enables automatic configuration and management of cameras in the premise network.

Abstract: A system comprises an automation network comprising a gateway at a premises coupled to a remote server. Premises devices are coupled to the gateway and form at least one device network in the premises. An automation user interface (AUI) application is configured to access the plurality of premises devices via at least one of the gateway and the remote server. The AUI application is configured to run on each of a plurality of remote devices, and the plurality of remote devices comprises a plurality of device types. An application program interface (API) is configured to execute on at least one of the gateway and the remote server and to serve normalized data including history data of the plurality of premises devices to the AUI application on the plurality of remote devices. A normalized data model is configured to generate the normalized data including the history data of the plurality of premises devices agnostically to the plurality of remote devices.

Abstract: An integrated security system that includes a security alarm reporting system (SARS) that is resilient to equipment failure and, as such, provides a comprehensive solution to the problem of an intruder attempting to disable an alarm reporting system. The integrated security system includes a gateway/touchscreen coupled to a security system. The gateway/touchscreen and the security system are at a first location and manage a variety of security and network devices at the first location. A security server at a second location is coupled to the security system and receives a first signal from the security system. A heartbeat signal is initiated that monitors health of the security system. The heartbeat signal may be initiated in response to the first signal. The security server detects a failure of the heartbeat signal and generates a report and sends the report to a central monitoring station. The report is an electronic report that indicates failure of the security system.
