  • Patent number: 10965488
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for monitoring a property using a system of sensor units in one or more premises on the property that can interface with respective utilities entering the premises or being generated by appliances on the premises with a minimal of effort and without requiring modification of the utility's equipment or the appliance. The systems and methods are connectable to a cloud-based monitoring, analytics and notification system via a long range network connection directly from one or more of the sensor units. The system of sensors can also incorporate primary and secondary units with at least one primary unit capable of communicating directly to the cloud-based system/server via a long-range connection with the secondary units sending data to the cloud via the primary unit by communicating at the property via a short-range communication connection.

  • Patent number: 10832551
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for monitoring a property. The method includes analyzing data obtained from one or more sensor units deployed for monitoring the property to generate a signature of the property, the signature being indicative of normal activities associated with the property and/or one or more occupants of the property. The method also includes obtaining current data acquired by the one or more sensors; analyzing the current data against the signature for the property to determine whether or not the current data is associated with normal activity, abnormal activity, a lack of activity, or an actionable event for the property. The method also includes having an alert or notification sent in response to analyzing the current data when abnormal activity, lack of activity, or an actionable event is detected.
