Abstract: A method for operating a security system, the method comprising: receiving an indication of an object in a premises; determining, responsive to receiving the indication, to assign an identity to the object based on the indication; tracking movement of the object on the premises; determining, based on the movement, whether to maintain the identity assigned to the object; and in response to determining not to maintain the identity assigned to the object, generating at least one output by the security system.

Abstract: A security system including a sensor communication interface configured to communicate with a plurality of sensors, an output interface, and at least one processor in communication with the communication interface. The at least one processor is configured to: receive, via the sensor communication interface, sensor data from one or more of the plurality of sensors; determine, from a plurality of tiers, a respective tier associated with the sensor data; and determine, based on the sensor data and the respective tier, whether to change a state of the security system. The at least one processor is further configured to: in response to determining to change the state of the security system, change the state of the security system; and determine, based on the changed state of the security system, whether to generate an output via the output interface.

Abstract: A network data aggregation system and method for connected building management systems are disclosed. The aggregation system assesses network connectivity for the building management system. For this purpose, the aggregation system includes building management control panels including modems for reporting to monitoring stations, and a customer management server (CMS). The control panels collect network connectivity information of the modems, and the CMS receives the network connectivity information. In one example, the CMS analyzes the network connectivity information to identify issues in service provider networks that provide connections between the modems of the building management control panels and the service provider networks.
