  • Publication number: 20250037522
    Abstract: A system is provided. The system includes at least one computing device. The at least one computing device receives a recognized person message indicating a recognized person associated with a premises is proximate an access location of the premises, where the recognized person message corresponds to a first authentication indication for authenticating the recognized person. The at least one computing device further, in response to receiving the recognized person message, transmits a command to capture an audible passcode from the recognized person. The at least one computing device further receives a passcode message based on the audible passcode, authenticates the recognized person based on the recognized person message and the passcode message, and in response to authenticating the recognized person causes the premises monitoring system to disarm and causes an electronic door lock associated with the premises to unlock.
