Abstract
A method for verification of alarms is disclosed. The method involves receiving an alarm signal trigger associated with an alarm signal, receiving video data from a premise associated with the alarm signal, rapidly analyzing the video data to test for the existence a significant event, and when a significant event exists, sending a representation of a segment of interest of the video data, the segment of interest being associated with the significant event, to a user.
Claims21
A method for authenticating an alarm, comprising:
- receiving from an alarm sensor at a monitored premise an alarm signal associated with a potential significant event at the monitored premise;
- receiving from the monitored premise video data from a video source associated with the alarm sensor;
- and
- conducting video analytics on the video data to determine whether or not the potential significant event exists.
A system for verifying alarms, comprising:
- a video analytics module configured to analyze video data received from a video source associated with a monitored premise and to verify an alarm condition at the monitored premise in response to receipt of an alarm signal;
- an alert module configured to receive from the video analytics module a confirmation of an alarm condition and to generate for transmission to a recipient an alert regarding the alarm condition;
- and
- a profile including parameters for operation of the video analytics module and the alert module.
A method for providing notification of an alarm condition at a monitored premise, comprising:
- receiving at the monitored premise video data from a video source located at the monitored premise;
- conducting at the monitored premise video analytics on the video data to determine whether an alarm condition exists;
- upon determining that an alarm condition exists, generating at the monitored premise an alert that includes a segment of interest of the video data associated with the alarm condition;
- and sending the alert from the monitored premise to a recipient.
