Control System, Security System, and Method of Monitoring a Location
First Claim
1. A control system for a security system that includes a plurality of sensors, said control system comprising:
- a sensor communication device configured to communicatively couple to the plurality of sensors and to receive a plurality of sensor notifications from the plurality of sensors, wherein each sensor notification of the plurality of sensor notifications includes at least one of a detection type, a detection location, and a detection duration; and
a processor communicatively coupled with said sensor communication device and configured to;
receive the plurality of sensor notifications from said sensor communication device;
associate a plurality of detection states with the plurality of sensor notifications such that at least one detection state of the plurality of detection states is entered upon receiving at least one combination of sensor notifications of the plurality of sensor notifications; and
associate at least one detection response with each detection state of the plurality of detection states.

Abstract
A control system for a security system having a plurality of sensors includes a sensor communication device configured to communicatively couple to the plurality of sensors and to receive a plurality of sensor notifications from the plurality of sensors. Each sensor notification of the plurality of sensor notifications includes at least one of a detection type, a detection location, and a detection duration. The control system also includes a processor configured to receive the plurality of sensor notifications from the sensor communication device, associate a plurality of detection states with the plurality of sensor notifications such that at least one detection state of the plurality of detection states is entered upon receiving at least one combination of sensor notifications of the plurality of sensor notifications, and associate at least one detection response with each detection state of the plurality of detection states.
