Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed that, in some aspects, provide an opening mechanism comprising an interior and an exterior door handle and sensors to detect movement of each door handle. A door position sensor may be provided. An alarm module for generating an alarm may be connected to at least one of the sensors. A method may include receiving a door handle actuation signal, determining whether the door handle actuation signal is from an inside door handle or an outside door handle and performing a function. One or more methods include determining an event, including an attempted entry, a forced entry and an incomplete entry.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- receiving, from one or more sensor devices, first sensor data indicating an interior entry point handle state;
- receiving, from the one or more sensor devices, second sensor data indicating an exterior entry point handle state;
- and
- causing, based on a difference between the interior entry point handle state and the exterior entry point handle state indicating motion of an exterior entry point handle, activation of an alarm state.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- receive, from one or more sensor devices, first sensor data indicating an interior entry point handle state;
- receive, from the one or more sensor devices, second sensor data indicating an exterior entry point handle state;
- and
- cause, based on a difference between the interior entry point handle state and the exterior entry point handle state indicating motion of an exterior entry point handle, activation of an alarm state.
A system comprising:
- a computing device, and
- one or more sensor devices,
- wherein the computing device is configured to:
- receive, from the one or more sensor devices, first sensor data indicating an interior entry point handle state;
- receive, from the one or more sensor devices, second sensor data indicating an exterior entry point handle state;
- and
- cause, based on a difference between the interior entry point handle state and the exterior entry point handle state indicating motion of an exterior entry point handle, activation of an alarm state;
- and
- wherein at least one of the one or more sensor devices is configured to:
- monitor the motion of the exterior entry point handle.
