US 11,380,182 B2 · Property control and configuration based on thermal imaging

Abstract

A monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property is disclosed. The monitoring system includes a thermal camera that is configured to generate a thermal image of the property. The monitoring system further includes a monitor control unit that is configured to receive, from the thermal camera, the thermal image. The monitor control unit is further configured to, based on the thermal image, determine a temperature of a portion of the property depicted in the thermal image. The monitor control unit is further configured to determine that the temperature of the portion of the property depicted in the thermal image satisfies a temperature threshold. The monitor control unit is further configured to, based on determining that the temperature of the portion of the property depicted in the thermal image satisfies the temperature threshold, select and perform a monitoring system action.

Dependent claims

A monitoring system comprising:

a thermal camera that is configured to generate a thermal image;
a sensor that is configured to generate sensor data that reflects an attribute of a property, the sensor being different from the thermal camera and including a motion detector or a door lock sensor;
a computer that is configured to:
receive, from the thermal camera, the thermal image;
receive, from the sensor, the sensor data that reflects the attribute of the property;
based on the thermal image:
detect a person or an animal within the thermal image, and
determine a body temperature of the person or animal detected within the thermal image;
determine whether the body temperature of the person or animal detected within the thermal image satisfies a temperature threshold;
and
based on the determination of whether the body temperature of the person or animal detected within the thermal image satisfies the temperature threshold and the received sensor data that reflects the attribute of the property, perform a monitoring system action.
