Abstract

Premise data of a security event may be received over a first network. The premise data may be captured by a secure gatekeeper adapted to monitor premises. Media may be received over the first network for display on the secure gatekeeper. The media may be provided to the secure gatekeeper. The secure gatekeeper may be instructed over the first network to display the media.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the live stream is captured on an internal device of the secure gatekeeper, the internal device located in a secure area of the premises.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the secure gatekeeper is integrated into an Intercom system coupled to the first network.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the secure gatekeeper comprises a doorbell, a control engine, a camera, and an Infrared sensor.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the first network comprises a cellular network.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the cellular network provides cellular data and a cellular voice link to the secure gatekeeper.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein the security event comprises a moving object near the secure gatekeeper.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the moving object comprises a person.

19. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, over the first network, a notification of the security event from the secure gatekeeper;

instructing the secure gatekeeper to capture the premise data, the instructing being in response to the notification of the security event.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the notification comprises a signal indicating a moving object, the signal being from a motion sensor on the secure gatekeeper.

21. The method of claim 19, wherein the notification comprises a signal indicating a moving object, the signal being from a heat sensor on the secure gatekeeper.

22. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, over the first network, instructions to manage the secure gatekeeper;

managing the secure gatekeeper in accordance with the instructions.

23. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, over the first network, instructions to manage a premise appliance;

managing the premise appliance in accordance with the instructions.

24. A system comprising:

means for receiving, over a first network, premise data of a security event, the premise data captured by a secure gatekeeper, and the secure gatekeeper adapted to monitor premises;

means for receiving, over the first network, media adapted for display on the secure gatekeeper;

means for providing, over the first network, the media to the secure gatekeeper;

means for instructing, over the first network, the secure gatekeeper to display the media.

25. A system comprising:

an external device management engine coupled to a first network;

a premise security management device management engine coupled to the first network;

wherein, in operation;

premise security management device management engine receives, over the first network, media adapted for display on a secure gatekeeper;
