Abstract: A security system that creates a display using a set of steps including a user input of a security system having a secured area receiving a respective name from the user for each of a plurality of security sensors, a processor matching each of the respective names to one of a plurality of respective names of sensor locations within a Building Information Model (BIM) of the secured area, the user input receiving from the user a specific designation of a corresponding location of each of the plurality of security sensors within a geographic coordinate system of the BIM, a processor of the security system correlating each of the respective names with the corresponding location of the security sensor within the BIM and a processor of the security system mapping each of the plurality of security sensors to a location within the BIM model based upon the name of the device.

Abstract: An apparatus including a building automation system that protects a secured geographic area, a plurality of non-overlapping geographic zones within the secured area, at least one portable Bluetooth device carried by an authorized human user within the secured area, a Bluetooth receiver associated with each of the plurality of zones that detects the portable device proximate the zone and a security controller that arms and disarms at least one of the plurality of zones based upon the detection of the portable device proximate the at least one zone.

Abstract: A system that includes a building information model (BIM) defined by a set of geographic coordinates of a secured area embodied in a memory, a plurality of security devices located within the secured area where each of the plurality of security devices has a short range wireless transceiver and a portable user device having a wireless transceiver, a global positioning system (GPS) and a programmed processor that interrogates the short range wireless transceiver of each of the plurality of security devices for identification and functional information of the security device as a user of the portable user device traverses the secured area and saves the identification and functional information along with geographic coordinates of each of the plurality of security devices under the BIM into a memory.
