Interactive wireless surveillance and security system and associated method
First Claim
1. A surveillance and security system adapted to be applicable to a premises, said system comprising:
- a surveillance component installed on the premises;
a broadcast component installed on the premises; and
a wireless command unit adapted to interact with an operator and configured to communicate with and control the components on the premises from a remotely-disposed location with respect thereto, the surveillance component being configured to capture a representation of the premises and to send a corresponding surveillance signal to the command unit, the command unit being responsive to the surveillance signal to provide an audiovisual reproduction of the premises representation to the operator, the command unit also being configured to allow the operator to send a message signal to the broadcast component and thereby direct the broadcast component to broadcast an audiovisual communication and, corresponding to the message signal, to the premises, the command unit thereby being capable of two-way audiovisual communication with the premises, via the components, so as to provide remote interactive surveillance and security therefor.

Abstract
A surveillance and security system, adapted to be applicable to a premises, is provided. The system comprises a system component installed on and capable of interacting with the premises. A wireless command unit is configured to communicate with and control the system component from a remotely-disposed location with respect thereto. The system component is configured to perform an examination of the premises and to send a corresponding surveillance signal to the command unit. The command unit is configured to send a broadcast signal to the system component for a corresponding broadcast to the premises. The command unit is thereby capable of two-way audio/video communication with the system component so as to provide remote surveillance and security for the premises. An associated method is also provided.

15. A method of providing surveillance and security with a surveillance and security system comprising a surveillance component a broadcast component and a wireless command unit, the system being adapted for application to a premises and to be capable of interacting with an operator, said method comprising:
-
capturing a representation of the premises with the surveillance component installed on the premises;
sending a surveillance signal corresponding to the premises representation from the surveillance component to the wireless command unit remotely disposed with respect thereto;
providing an audiovisual reproduction of the premises representation to the operator with the command unit in response to the surveillance signal; and
allowing the operator to send a message signal to the broadcast component installed on the premises via the command unit and thereby direct the broadcast component to broadcast an audiovisual communication, corresponding to the message signal, to the premises, the components and the command unit thereby cooperating to provide two-way audiovisual communication between the command unit and the premises so as to facilitate remote interactive surveillance and security for the premises. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
