Abstract
Systems and methods for intrusion detection using a standalone monitor communicating with a monitoring application on a user device. The monitor is generally a self-contained device that does not require third party monitoring services and communicates directly with the user device, or over a local network, such as a home network.
Claims21
A standalone, self-contained intrusion detection monitor comprising:
- a housing;
- a wireless communication system enclosed in said housing;
- one or more intrusion detection systems enclosed in said housing;;
- a microprocessor enclosed by said housing and operatively coupled to said wireless communication system and operatively coupled to said one or more intrusion detection systems, said microprocessor causing said wireless communication system to transmit a monitoring signal if said microprocessor determines that the output of at least one of said one or more intrusion detection systems is indicative of a human intruder;
- and
- a power supply supplying power to said wireless communication system, said microprocessor, and said one of more intrusion detection systems.
3 more elements
An intrusion detection system comprising:
- a handheld device of a user;
- and
- a standalone, self-contained intrusion detection monitor communicatively coupled to said handheld device over a communication network and comprising:
- a wireless communication system;
- one or more intrusion detection systems;
- and
- a microprocessor operatively coupled to said wireless communication system and operatively coupled to said one or more intrusion detection systems, said microprocessor causing said wireless communication system to transmit to said handheld device a monitoring signal if said microprocessor determines that the output of at least one of said one or more intrusion detection systems is indicative of an unauthorized intruder.
4 more elements
The system of claim 10, wherein said handheld device includes:
- a microprocessor;
- a display;
- a non-transitory, computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-readable instructions which, when executed by said handheld device microprocessor present to a user of said handheld device an application, said application causing to be displayed to said user on said display a visualization of said monitoring signal received by said handheld device.
A computer-implemented method for detecting an unauthorized intruder comprising:
- receiving, by an application executing on a handheld user device communicably coupled to an intrusion detection system over a wireless telecommunications network, a digital video feed comprising digital video data generated by said intrusion detection system placed in a residence;
- displaying, by said application on a display of said handheld user device, said received digital video feed;
- displaying, by said application on said display, a graphical user interface comprising a user input component configured for a user of said handheld user device to indicate whether said displayed digital video feed indicates the presence of an unauthorized intruder in said residence;
- receiving, from said user via said user input component, an indication that said displayed digital video feed indicates the presence of an unauthorized intruder in said residence;
- in response to said received indication of the presence of an unauthorized intruder in said residence, storing on a non-volatile computer-readable medium of said handheld device a copy of said received digital video feed.
