Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically activating self-test devices of sensors of a security system are provided. Such systems and methods can include a self-test monitoring device that can identify a test triggering event and, responsive thereto, activate the self-test devices of the sensors and determine whether each of the sensors passes or fails a respective self-test associated with its self-test devices. In some embodiments, when any of the sensors fails its respective self-test, the self-test monitoring device can identify one or more notification devices based on a type of the test triggering event and transmit a self-test failure report to the one or more notification devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods for responding to an abnormal event in a region monitored by a security system are provided. Such systems and methods can include a cloud server periodically receiving a heartbeat signal from the security system, the cloud server receiving a notification signal of an occurrence of the abnormal event in the region, and responsive to failing to receive the heartbeat signal after receiving the notification signal of the occurrence of the abnormal event, the cloud server transmitting an alarm to a central monitoring station.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying and responding to a potential threat at a location monitored by a smart home system are provided. Such systems and methods can include a central system receiving a notification of a suspicious incident detected at the location and current data related to the suspicious incident from the smart home system, the central station analyzing the current data to confirm or reject the suspicious incident, when the central system confirms the suspicious incident, the central station determining whether the current data is indicative of a potential threat, and when the central station determines that the current data is indicative of the potential threat, the central station storing the current data for future use and initiating a security action to alleviate the potential threat.

Abstract: Systems and methods for arming a security system are provided. Such systems and methods can include a control device of the security system that protects a monitored region with a plurality of sensors receiving user input while the security system is in a first arm mode, and responsive to the user input, the security system directly transitioning from the first arm mode to a second arm mode without switching to a disarm mode in between the first arm mode and the second arm mode.

Abstract: Systems and methods of enrolling sensor devices with a control panel device using a mobile device are provided. Some methods can include detecting signals received from sensor devices, identifying a signal strength of each of the signals, displaying a list of each of the sensor devices and the signal strength of respective signals received from respective ones of the sensor devices, receiving user input to select at least one of the sensor devices, and transmitting an identifying signal to a control panel device to enroll the at least one sensor device with the control panel device for configuration thereof.
