Automated, remotely-verified alarm system with intrusion and video surveillance and digital video recording
First Claim
1. An automated detection and alarm verification method comprising:
- capturing at least one image in response to a detection event at a monitored premise;
transmitting a first data signal including the image to a local signal processing device;
transmitting a second signal including at least a portion of the image from the signal processing device to a remote server according to at least a first set of predetermined parameters; and
transmitting a third signal including at least a portion of the image from the server to a user device.

Abstract
An automated self-monitored alarm verification solution including at least a premises portion, a server portion, and an end user device portion. Alarm verification includes capturing by an image capture device at least one image in response to a detection event, and transmitting a first data signal including the image to a local signal processing device. The signal processing device transmits a second signal including at least a portion of the image to a remote hosted server according to at least a first set of predetermined parameters. After receiving the second signal, the server transmits a third signal including at least a portion of the image from the hosted server to a user device. Using the user device, a user views the image and indicates a validity status of the alarm based at least in part on the content of the image. Based at least upon either the validation status indicated by the user, or upon a failure to receive a message including a validation status from the user within a predetermined duration of time, the server portion may send an alarm signal to an emergency response service.
