First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a touchscreen device, located at a premises, that is configured to communicate with a security system, located at the premises, that comprises a plurality of network devices,wherein the touchscreen device comprises an application programming interface (API) configured to enable communication with the plurality of network devices, andwherein the touchscreen device is configured to output a plurality of user interfaces comprising;
a security user interface configured to enable access to data associated with the security system, anda network user interface configured to enable access to the plurality of network devices; and
a security server, located external to the premises, configured to communicate with the touchscreen device, wherein the security server comprises;
a client user interface configured to enable communication of data between at least one remote client device, the touchscreen device, and the security system, anda web application configured to communicate, to the API of the touchscreen device, one or more calls to the API that are associated with at least one network device of the plurality of network devices,wherein the touchscreen device is further configured to;
receive the one or more calls to the API and transmit, to the security server and based on the one or more calls to the API, data associated with the at least one network device, andwherein the security server is configured to output, via the client user interface, the data associated with the at least one network device.

Abstract
A system and methods comprise a touchscreen at a premises. The touchscreen includes a processor coupled to a security system at the premises. User interfaces are presented via the touchscreen. The user interfaces include a security interface that provides control of functions of the security system and access to data collected by the security system, and a network interface that provides access to network devices. Network devices at the premises are coupled to the touchscreen. Application programming interfaces (APIs) are coupled to the processor and provide access to the plurality of network devices. A security server at a remote location is coupled to the touchscreen. The security server comprises a client interface through which remote client devices exchange data with the touchscreen and security system, a web application that accesses a first set of the APIs, and a server application that accesses a second set of the APIs.
