WIRELESS CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT OF A SECURITY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for configuring and managing a security system wirelessly, comprising:
- providing said security system comprising at least one processor configured to enable said configuration and said management of said security system wirelessly, said security system further comprising a gateway device and a wireless access point configured to communicate with one or more of a plurality of electronic devices and to monitor event data from said one or more of said electronic devices, wherein said wireless access point is incorporated in said gateway device, and wherein said one or more of said electronic devices connect to said gateway device of said security system via said wireless access point;
operably connecting a wireless router to said security system to establish a network;
providing a security management application executable by at least one processor on a control device, said security management application configured to access, configure, and control said security system and said one or more of said electronic devices wirelessly through said wireless access point;
receiving said event data on one or more of a plurality of events from said one or more of said electronic devices by said security system through said wireless access point, wherein said security system is configured to transmit said received event data to one or more of a database, said control device, and one or more secondary devices via said network; and

Abstract
A computer implemented method and system for configuring and managing a security system wirelessly is provided. The security system includes a gateway device and a wireless access point (WAP) for communicating with one or more electronic devices and monitoring event data from the electronic devices. The electronic devices connect to the gateway device via the WAP in the gateway device. A wireless router is connected to the security system to establish a network. A security management application on a control device accesses, configures, and controls the security system wirelessly through the WAP. The security system receives and transmits event data through the WAP to a database, the control device, and/or one or more secondary devices via the network. The security management application wirelessly configures and manages the security system and one or more electronic devices through the WAP via the network based on the received event data.
