BUILDING SECURITY SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of securing a facility comprising:
- sensing conditions proximate the facility;
transmitting data detailing the sensed conditions over a data network to an alarm system located outside of the facility;
processing the sensed conditions data with the alarm system to determine a need to activate an alarm; and
activating the alarm with signals communicated from the alarm system if the alarm system determines the need to activate the alarm.

Abstract
A security system that can be used in a home, office, or other building in order to generate alarms or take other actions depending on conditions within the building. The security system may rely on sensors within the building which sense various conditions and collect other data. The information learned from the sensors can be communicated to a location outside the building for processing, such as, but not limited to, processing associated with a need to instigate an alarm.

1. A method of securing a facility comprising:
-
sensing conditions proximate the facility; transmitting data detailing the sensed conditions over a data network to an alarm system located outside of the facility; processing the sensed conditions data with the alarm system to determine a need to activate an alarm; and activating the alarm with signals communicated from the alarm system if the alarm system determines the need to activate the alarm. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25)

24. A method of monitoring a facility comprising:
-
sensing conditions proximate the facility; transmitting data detailing the sensed conditions over a data network to a remote system located outside of the facility; processing the transmitted data with the remote system to (i) determine a need to generate an alert in response to one of the sensed conditions surpassing a threshold associated with normal operation; and (ii) verify the one of the sensed conditions has surpassed the threshold with data transmitted from sensors that have not surpassed the threshold; and if the need to generate the alert is determined, activating the alert with signals communicated from the remote system.

26. The method of claim 23 further comprising verifying the one of the sensed conditions surpassed the threshold from sensed conditions occurring after determining the one of the sensed conditions surpassed the threshold.
