Abstract: Systems and methods for secure authentication for access control, home control, and alarm systems are provided. Some methods can include receiving first user input at a mobile device, determining whether the first user input matches preconfigured user input, when the first user input matches the preconfigured user input, transmitting an access signal to an access control system, a home control system, or an alarm system to trigger access thereto.

Abstract: A mobile device may comprise a user interface including a display, a network interface, and a controller. In some embodiments, the controller may be configured to receive an indication of an alarm and an alarm location via the network interface, and display, on the display, a map. The map may comprise an alarm icon representing the received alarm, the alarm icon placed on the map at the alarm location, and an emergency service icon representing an emergency service that services the alarm location, the emergency service that services the alarm location having an emergency service location, the emergency service icon placed on the map at the emergency service location. The controller may further be configured to accept a selection of the emergency service icon via the user interface and, upon selection of the emergency service icon, initiate a communication with the emergency service that services the alarm location.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes a plurality of Bluetooth low energy devices (BLEs) embodied as stand-alone devices or incorporated into a respective security sensor, each at known locations within a secured geographic area, a plurality of portable wireless devices within the secured area, each receiving location information via signals from a nearby one or more of the plurality of BLEs, and a security system of the secured area that receives location information from the plurality of portable wireless devices, detects a security breach within the secured area, sends a notification to each of the plurality of wireless devices, and assigns a user of one of the plurality of portable wireless devices to investigate the breach based upon proximity of the one portable device to the breach.
