Method of monitoring a protected space
DCFirst Claim
1. A method of collecting and disseminating information regarding a plurality of protected spaces comprising the steps of:
- providing a database with a plurality of secure storage areas where each secure storage area of the plurality of secure storage areas is reserved for a respective protected space of the plurality of protected spaces;
reserving a subarea of each secure storage area of the database for each type of data received from the protected spaces;
detecting a signal event of a protected space of the plurality of protected spaces, where such signal event is not from a security sensor and is not a video signal;
coding the signal event into a packet message;
transferring the coded packet message to the database through an internet connection between the protected space and the database;
determining a type of signal event of the packet message storing the coded message packet in a secure storage area and subarea of the plurality of secure storage areas of the database that corresponds to the protected space and type of signal event of the protected space under a password assigned to a manager of the protected space; and
providing access to information of the coded message packet through an Internet connection between the manager and the database based upon the password assigned to the manager.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for collecting and disseminating information regarding a protected space. The method includes the steps of detecting a signal event of the protected space, coding the signal event into a packet message and transferring the coded packet message to a database through an internet connection between the protected space and the database. The method further includes the steps of storing the coded message packet in a secure storage area of the database under a password assigned to a manager of the protected space and providing access to information of the coded message packet through an Internet connection between the manager and the database based upon the password assigned to the manager.
