  • Patent number: 11769395
    Abstract: A server accesses a security system profile of a first security system. The security system profile identifies a plurality of sensors connected to the first security system. The server identifies a second security system based on at least a first sensor of the plurality of sensors coupled to the first security system. The server then generates a notification sharing profile for the first security system based on the security system profile. The notification sharing profile indicates that the second security system corresponds to the first sensor. A first event triggered by the first sensor causes a first notification to the second security system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10531187
    Abstract: An audio beam forming and signal processing system includes at least one image capture device, an array of audio sensors, and a controller. The at least one image capture device is configured to capture images of a monitored zone. The array of audio sensors is configured to detect audio signals from one or more audio sources within the monitored zone. The controller is configured to: analyze at least one image captured by the image capture device to identify an audio source within the monitored zone; determine two or fewer audio source location parameters indicative of the location of the audio source in the monitored zone; and cause the array of audio sensors to form an audio beam directed at the audio source based on the two or fewer audio source location parameters.
