Abstract
A method for verification of alarms is disclosed. The method involves receiving an alarm signal trigger associated with an alarm signal, receiving video data from a premise associated with the alarm signal, rapidly analyzing the video data to test for the existence a significant event, and when a significant event exists, sending a representation of a segment of interest of the video data, the segment of interest being associated with the significant event, to a user.

21. A system, comprising:
-
an analytics module implemented in at least one of a memory or a processor device, the analytics module configured to analyze an image received from an image source associated with a monitored premise to detect an event in a first portion of the image; an encode module operatively coupled to the analytics module, the encode module configured to encode the first portion of the image based on a first level of encoding to produce a first encoded image portion, encode a second portion of the image based on a second level of encoding to produce a second encoded image portion, the second portion of the image being different than the first portion of the image, the second level of encoding being different than the first level of encoding; and an alert module operatively coupled to the encode module, the alert module configured to send a representation of at least one of the first encoded image portion or the second encoded image portion. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to
receive from a sensor an indication of an event at a monitored premise having a predetermined zone; -
analyze image data associated with the monitored premise (1) based on a user-defined profile to identify an object associated with the event, and (2) to identify the predetermined zone in which the object is located; and send to a recipient an indication of an alarm event when the zone from which the object is located does not meet a zone authorization criterion assigned to the identity of the object and defined by the user-defined profile. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49)

50. A system, comprising:
-
an analytics module implemented in at least one of a memory or a processor device, the analytics module configured to receive from a first sensor an indication of a first event, the first event associated with a predefined first zone at a monitored premise, the analytics module configured to receive from a second sensor an indication of a second event, the second event associated with a predefined second zone at the monitored premise, the second zone being different from the first zone; and an alert module operatively coupled to the analytics module, the alert module configured to send an indication of an alarm event when the first event occurs before the second event. - View Dependent Claims (51, 52)
