Abstract: A controller defines a sensor Field Of View (FOV) for each sensor based on sensor characteristics and a camera Field Of View (FOV) for each camera based on camera characteristics. The controller determines a degree of overlap between each sensor FOV and each camera FOV and automatically determines a sensor-camera association between each sensor and one or more cameras and stores the sensor-camera association. In response to a particular sensor detecting an alarm condition in the facility, the security system references the sensor-camera association to identify one or more cameras that are associated with the particular sensor, and automatically displays a video stream captured by one or more of the cameras that are associated with the particular sensor on an operator console of the security system.

Abstract: Guiding people toward an exit of a facility includes sending messages to a plurality of sounder devices, each message addressed to a corresponding one of the sounder devices and including a payload that specifies one or more timing parameters unique to the corresponding sounder device, the one or more timing parameters specifying when an audible alarm is to be emitted by the corresponding sounder device. A broadcast alarm message is sent to all sounder devices. In response to receiving the broadcast alarm message, each of the sounder devices emit an audible alarm in accordance with the one or more timing parameters unique to the corresponding sounder device relative to a time of reception of the broadcast alarm message to produce the perceivable sequential audible sweep from the sounder devices toward the exit of the facility.

Abstract: Systems and methods of power-safe control panel installation are provided. Some systems can include a control panel that includes a programmable processor and executable control software stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software can transmit a signal to selectively remove power from at least one portion of the control panel.
