## Abstract

A system and method for operating a network security system implementing security cameras, motion sensors, access control systems, security door locks, and mobile panic button devices within a monitored area. Security cameras transmit video to a network video recorder and the video is analyzed by a video analytics system to determine if a security event is occurring. If a security event occurs, a security control system calls a dispatch service, which transmits a notification to only those security guards who are within a given area of the event.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A security system comprising:
one or more security cameras that capture image data;
a network video recorder for storing and distributing the image data from the security cameras; and
a security control system that receives position information from mobile user devices and provides access to the image data at the mobile user devices based on the position information relative to locations of alarm conditions; wherein the security control system provides access to the image data to the mobile user devices of security personnel that are in closest proximity to the locations of the alarm conditions;
wherein the security control system only provides access to the image data to the mobile user devices of security personnel or first responders who are in proximity to the locations of alarm condition.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The security system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the network video recorder includes a video analytics system that analyzes the image data from the security cameras for security events and generates the alarm conditions in response to detecting the security events in the image data.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The security system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the security control system determines the locations of the alarm conditions by accessing position information for the security cameras that generated the image data that gave rise to the alarm conditions.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The security system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the security control system monitors security and/or safety devices for alarm conditions.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The security system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the security control system extracts position information from the security and/or safety devices that generated the alarm conditions to determine the locations of the alarm conditions.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The security system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the security control system includes a dispatch service that distributes a reference to the image data to one or more mobile user devices in response to the alarm conditions.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The security system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the dispatch service distributes the reference by transmitting a message to the one or more mobile user devices.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The security system as claimed in claim 1 further including one or more mobile panic button devices that enable users to selectively generate an alarm condition.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The security system as claimed in claim 8, wherein for the mobile panic button devices, the location of the alarm condition is based on position information for the mobile panic button devices.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The security system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mobile user devices determine their respective locations and periodically transmit the position information to the security control system.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The security system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the security control system stores the position information in a database.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The security system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the security control system determines a predicted path of a subject that generated the alarm condition and provides access to the image data at the mobile user devices based on the position information relative to the predicted path of the subject.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The security system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:
smoke detectors, wherein the smoke detectors raise the alarm conditions in response to sensing smoke.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The security system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:
motion sensors, wherein the motion sensors trigger the alarm conditions in response to sensing movement.

### Claim 15

A security system comprising:
one or more security cameras that capture image data;
a network video recorder for storing and distributing the image data from the security cameras; and
a security control system that receives position information from mobile user devices and provides access to the image data at the mobile user devices based on the position information relative to locations of alarm conditions; wherein the security control system provides access to the image data to the mobile user devices of security personnel that are in closest proximity to the locations of the alarm conditions;
wherein the security control system provides access to the image data only to the mobile user devices of security personnel that are in closest proximity to the locations of the alarm conditions.
