Appl. No.:

09/805864

Inventors:

Theodore Simon - Dix Hills NY, US
Steven Winick - Woodmere NY, US
Scott H. Simon - Huntington NY, US

Assignee:

Pittway Corporation - Syosset NY

International Classification:

H04M011/00

US Classification:

379 39, 379 9001, 379 9324, 379 9302

Abstract:

An integrated security and communications system combines a security system to either or both of a telephone system interface and a data interface. Users have access to voice-mail or other PBX-type telephone functions, many or all of which can be accessed not only at telephone sets, but also at keypads of the security system. Data functions such as electronic mail and possible partial or full World Wide Web access may also be provided at the keypads, as well as at connected personal computers or computer terminals. The system keypads may be enhanced to better accommodate some of the added functions. A central communications station could be used to maintain secure, shared private key encrypted communications with each premises system, using a redirector arrangement or relay to allow each premises system to communicate securely with a central monitoring station and with other systems. The secure communications system could be used without a security system to allow secure computer-to-computer communications.

International Classification:

G08B 19/00

US Classification:

340521, 3404261, 701 1

Abstract:

A home or other building security system is interfaced with a vehicle control system, such as for an automobile. The vehicle control system includes a transceiver for receiving commands from the home security system for performing certain actions, such as arming or disarming an alarm system, unlocking or locking doors, opening or closing windows, and starting or stopping the engine. The vehicle control system also transmits status information regarding the vehicle to the home security system. The vehicle can be protected as a zone or partition of the home security system. Furthermore, a remote vehicle monitoring apparatus may be provided that triggers an alarm or annunciation based on its control mode when a change of status signal is received from the vehicle. The control mode is optionally tied to the status of a home security system.

Assignee:

Honeywell International, Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

G08B 1/00

US Classification:

340531, 3405731, 340 52, 3405734, 340 101

Abstract:

A number of different security systems, such as in home or business locations, periodically transmit status data to a remote facility such as a central monitoring station so that it is continuously informed of the security systems' status. The status may relate to an alarm status, armed status, or trouble code status. A user interface at the remote facility provides a spreadsheet format that allows a user to quickly ascertain the status of the security systems, and to send commands to the security systems. The security systems may be controlled individually or in groups, such as to add or delete authorizations. The user interface can filter or sort the information, or obtain further details. Other information, such as video and audio data from a security system, can also be provided to the remote facility for use in the user interface. Information can be recorded for subsequent playback.

US Classification:

34053914, 34053917, 34053922, 340506, 340531, 340541, 34082569

Abstract:

Security systems, such as in a home or other building, are interfaced with one another so that alarm messages and other information regarding a first security system are communicated to a second security system. In response, a user at the second system can send commands to the first system, such as for arming or disarming the first system. A user interface device at the second system includes an output component, such as a display screen, for displaying alarm messages from both the first and second systems. Other information, such as video and audio data from the first system, can also be provided at the second system. An input component, such as a keypad, allows the user to enter commands for controlling both the first and second systems. Communication between the security systems may be realized via an RF link, telephone link, and/or computer network.

US Classification:

34053917, 340531, 340511, 3404255, 4554041

Abstract:

Security systems, such as in a home or other building, periodically transmit status data to a remote facility so that the remote facility is continuously informed of the security systems' status. A user interface device at one security system, or a web browser at a personal computer, can obtain information regarding, or provide commands to, one or more other security systems at remote locations by communicating with the remote facility. The remote facility also reports specified events, such as alarms, that occur at a security system to one or more other security systems. Other information, such as video and audio data from a security system, can also be provided to the remote facility for sharing with other security systems. An intercom feature can also be established via the remote facility.

Abstract:

A safety light is activated by a wireless signal from a control panel in a home security system is response to detection of a fire by the system. The safety light alerts rescuers of rooms in a home in which children may be located. The light may be window, door or wall-mounted, and have a single, or dual opposing, backlit faces. The backlit face includes a logo and/or text that is quickly recognized by rescuers. For example, a logo of a firefighter carrying a baby may be used with the text “tot rescue”. The safety light may communicate status information to the control panel, such as a low battery condition or a tamper alert. A tamper alert switch detects tampering with the housing of the safety light or its installation. Additional safety lights provide ambient illumination and directional information to an exit.

US Classification:

713150, 726 2, 34053917, 34028601

Abstract:

A security system comprising a plurality of security subsystems each of the security subsystems being discretely located, typically in separate buildings. The security subsystems are interconnected by a system communications bus to enable bi-directional communication between the security subsystems. Each of the security subsystems comprises a user interface, a control panel, a plurality of security devices, a local communications bus, and a panel linking gateway. The panel linking gateway allows data on the local communications bus of each security subsystem to be transmitted to and received from the system communications bus. The security system allows a keypad or other user interface from one security subsystem to access and control a second remote security subsystem.
