Method and apparatus for automatically disarming a security system
First Claim
1. A security system configured to monitor at least one door, comprising:
- a system control panel for arming and disarming the security system, the security system being set to an Armed Stay Mode, the security system comprising at least one Armed Mode and a Disarmed Mode;
means for detecting motion proximate to one side of a door and within a perimeter that extends at least partially around an area to be monitored by the security system;
means for detecting an open position of the door; and
means for setting the security system to the Disarmed Mode when the motion is detected at substantially the same time as the open position of the door is detected.

Abstract
A security system comprises a system control panel for arming and disarming the security system. A door sensing unit comprises a first radio frequency (RF) transceiver interconnected with the system control panel over a network. The first RF transceiver is mounted proximate to a door that defines at least a portion of a perimeter around an area to be monitored by the security system. The first RF transceiver has an RF detection field proximate to the door. A disarm device comprises a second RF transceiver that automatically transmits a disarm device packet. The first RF transceiver receives the disarm device packet when the second RF transceiver is within the RF detection field. The first RF transceiver sends a disarm message to the system control panel over the network to disarm the security system based on at least the disarm device packet.
