Patent number: 8937661Abstract: Video monitoring and alarm verification technology, in which a first connection is established between a first device and a camera located in a monitored property associated with a user of the first device and image data captured by the camera is received over the first connection and at the first device. A determination is made to establish a second connection with a second device that enables sharing of the received image data with the second device and, in response to the determination, the second connection is established between the first device and the second device. The received image data is shared with the second device over the second connection and the second device is restricted from directly accessing image data captured by the camera located in the monitored property.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2014Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: Alarm.com IncorporatedInventors: Alison Jane Slavin, Robert J. McCarthy, Jr., David James Hutz, Stephen Scott Trundle, Jean-Paul Martin

Patent number: 8897740Abstract: Techniques are described for establishing a two-way voice communication session with an alarm system. The alarm system may establish a two-way voice communication session with an operator associated with a monitoring service that provides monitoring services for alarm events detected by the alarm system. The alarm system also may establish a two-way voice communication session with a notification recipient that is interested in receiving notifications associated with events detected by the alarm system.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2013Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Alarm.com IncorporatedInventors: Jean-Paul Martin, Stephen Scott Trundle, David Saul Goldfarb, David James Hutz

Publication number: 20140247360Abstract: Image surveillance and reporting technology, in which an event that is indicative of potential physical activity within an area corresponding to a location of a camera unit is detected. In response to detection of the event, the camera unit is controlled to capture one or more images of the area corresponding to the location of the camera unit. The one or more images captured by the camera unit are analyzed to determine whether the one or more images include image data that is indicative of relevant physical activity within the area corresponding to the location of the camera unit. The one or more images are handled based on the determination of whether the one or more images include image data that is indicative of relevant physical activity within the area corresponding to the location of the camera unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2014Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: Alarm.com IncorporatedInventors: Stephen Scott Trundle, Robert J.

Publication number: 20140203930Abstract: A system and method provide for the immediate transmission of a potential alarm to a remote alarm signal escrow site and from the escrow site to a host station in the event where a control panel or an alarm signaling device is tampered with or destroyed by a disablement tactic, e.g., a “crash and smash intrusion.” A system and method may also send an alarm signal during such an attack by using predictive analysis of real-time events.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2014Publication date: July 24, 2014Applicant: Alarm.com IncorporatedInventors: Stephen Scott Trundle, Alison Jane Slavin, Jean-Paul Martin

Publication number: 20140184406Abstract: Techniques are described for providing remote device (e.g., thermostat, lighting, appliance, etc.) control and/or energy monitoring. A system monitors sensor data captured by one or more sensors that sense attributes relevant to user presence at one or more monitored properties and status of one or more energy consuming devices associated with the one or more monitored properties. The system analyzes the monitored sensor data and the monitored device status with respect to a set of one or more rules and performs an operation related to controlling the one or more energy consuming devices based on the analysis of the monitored sensor data and the monitored device status with respect to the set of one or more rules.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2014Publication date: July 3, 2014Applicant: Alarm.com IncorpratedInventors: Stephen Scott Trundle, Alison Jane Slavin, Jean-Paul Martin, David James Hutz
