Abstract: The present invention provides a personal security network where an individual's system or systems of security devices may be connected to a central security network. The central security network of the present invention may monitor a system's status and alert the individual when an alert situation occurs. The present invention provides a security network where a user may set up personalized alarms and alert services; identify various methods of contact; order at which to be contacted; individuals and entities to be contacted; type of situations to be alerted of and other relevant security and other information. The present invention may further provide a personalized web interface where authorized individuals may view current and historical security device status. A user may generate personalized reports based on aggregated historical data based on various user-defined factors. The reports may be displayed to the user in various formats, such as maps, graphs, statistics, and others.

Abstract: The present invention provides a monitoring system for providing images (e.g., photos, pictures, video, diagram, illustration, etc.) where an alarm situation may be defected by comparing images. When a change (indicating motion) is detected, an alarm may be signaled or other user-defined response may be invoked. In addition, the image and other relevant data may be conveyed to a central security network where identified individuals may be alerted via identified methods. The user may also view the images (e.g., video clips) remotely via the web or other method. The present invention provides a personal security network where an individual's system or systems of security devices may be connected to a central security network. The central security network of the present invention may monitor a system's status and alert the individual when an alert situation occurs.
