Abstract
An event profile associated with an event to be held at the facility is received. One of a plurality of predetermined security level configurations is selected based at least in part on the received event profile. The security level of at least part of the security system is automatically changed based on the selected one or more of a plurality of predetermined security level configurations.
Claims18
A method for controlling a security level of a security system of a facility, the method comprising:
- receiving an event profile associated with an event to be held at the facility;
- selecting a selected one or more of a plurality of predetermined security level configurations based at least in part on the received event profile;
- and
- automatically changing the security level of at least part of the security system based on the selected one or more of a plurality of predetermined security level configurations;
- wherein the security system includes an access control system, and wherein automatically changing the security level of at least part of the security system includes changing the security level of the access control system for gaining access to a region of the facility that is associated with the event;
- and the method further comprises:
- automatically changing the security level of the access control system for gaining access to a region of the facility that is not associated with the event,
- wherein changing the security level of the access control system for gaining access to the region of the facility that is not associated with the event is increased when changing the security level of the access control system for gaining access to the region of the facility that is associated with the event is decreased.
A security system for a facility, comprising:
- a plurality of security system sensors;
- an access control system;
- a controller operatively coupled to the security system sensors, the controller configured to:
- store a plurality of predetermined security level configurations;
- identify an event profile associated with an event to be held at the facility;
- select a selected one or more of the plurality of predetermined security level configurations based at least in part on the identified event profile;
- and
- automatically change the security level of at least part of the security system based on the selected one or more of a plurality of predetermined security level configurations, including changing the security level of the access control system for gaining access to a region of the facility that is associated with the event;
- and
- automatically change the security level of the access control system for gaining access to a region of the facility that is not associated with the event,
- further wherein the controller is configured to automatically increase the security level of the access control system for gaining access to the region of the facility that is not associated with the event and decrease the security level of the access control system for gaining access to the region of the facility that is associated with the event.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to:
- identify an event profile associated with an event to be held at a facility;
- automatically select a selected one or more of a plurality of predetermined security level configurations based at least in part on the identified event profile, wherein the security system includes an access control system;
- and
- automatically change the security level of at least part of a security system of the facility based on the selected one or more of a plurality of predetermined security level configurations, including decreasing the security level of the access control system for gaining access to a region of the facility that is associated with the event, and increasing the security level of the access control system for gaining access to a region of the facility that is not associated with the event.
