Abstract
An integrated security system that includes a security coprocessor coupled to a conventional security system panel and an interactive security system. The integrated security system enables conventional security system features as well as the consumer-oriented interactive features and functions of an interactive security system without sacrificing reliability or the significant burden and cost associated with frequent software updates associated with conventional security systems. The integrated security system also minimizes or eliminates the need for new battery backup circuitry or larger batteries.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device and from a security system located at a premises, an indication of an interruption of a supply of power to the security system;
- and
- based on the receiving the indication of the interruption of the supply of power, maintaining power to a first device and causing a power switch device to disconnect power to a second device of the security system.
The method of claim , wherein the first device comprises a communication device.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, an indication of an interruption of a supply of power to a premises management system located at a premises;
- determining, based on the indication of the interruption of the supply of power, that a first device of the premises management system has a higher priority than a second device of the premises management system;
- and
- prioritizing, based on the determining that the first device has a higher priority than the second device, power to the first device.
A computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to:
- receive, from a security system located at a premises, an indication of an interruption of a supply of power to the security system;
- and
- based on receiving the indication of the interruption of the supply of power, maintain power to a first device and cause a power switch device to disconnect power to a second device of the security system.
A computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to:
- receive an indication of an interruption of a supply of power to a premises management system located at a premises;
- determine, based on the indication of the interruption of the supply of power, that a first device of the premises management system has a higher priority than a second device of the premises management system;
- and
- prioritize, based on determining that the first device has a higher priority than the second device, power to the first device.
