Abstract
A system and methods comprise a touchscreen at a premises. The touchscreen includes a processor running gateways and coupled to a security system at the premises. User interfaces are presented via the touchscreen. The user interfaces include a security interface that provides control of functions of the security system and access to data collected by the security system, and a network interface that provides access to network devices. A network device at the premises is coupled to the touchscreen via a Wi-Fi channel. A security server at a remote location is coupled to the touchscreen. The security server comprises a client interface through which remote client devices exchange data with the touchscreen and the security system.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a wireless access point located at a premises;
- a premises device located at the premises and configured to communicate with the wireless access point;
- a computing device located at the premises and configured to communicate with the premises device, wherein the computing device is configured to:
- receive, from the premises device, premises data;
- determine a capability of the premises device;
- and
- control, based on the capability of the premises device, one or more settings of the wireless access point;
- and
- a server located external to the premises and configured to communicate with the computing device, wherein the server is configured to send, to a user device located external to the premises, the premises data to enable the user device to access the premises data.
A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device located at a premises, a capability of a premises device located at the premises;
- causing, based on the capability of the premises device, control of one or more settings of a wireless access point located at the premises, wherein the wireless access point is associated with a wireless network at the premises;
- receiving, from the premises device;
- and via the wireless network associated with the wireless access point, premises data;
- and
- sending, to a server located external to the premises, the premises data.
A device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
- determine a capability of a premises device located at a premises;
- cause, based on the capability of the premises device, control of one or more settings of a wireless access point located at the premises, wherein the wireless access point is associated with a wireless network at the premises;
- receive, from the premises device;
- and via the wireless network associated with the wireless access point, premises data;
- cause output of an indication of the premises data;
- and
- send, to a server located external to the premises, the premises data.
