Security system and method
First Claim
1. A security control apparatus, comprising:
- a wireless communication element supporting a plurality of wireless communication protocols, the wireless communication element configured to provide wireless communications with a user interface device and at least one premise-based device;
a remote communication element configured to provide remote communications with a monitoring center;
a premise power supply, the premise power supply configured to supply power to the security control apparatus;
a back-up power supply, the back-up supply configured to provide power to the security control apparatus during failure of the premise power supply; and
a processor in communication with the local wireless communication element and the remote communication element, the processor configured to;
use the wireless communication element to communicate with the user interface device to receive local control and configuration data;
use the remote communication element to communicate data associated with at least one of a life safety feature and life style feature with the monitoring center;
execute at least one life safety feature and at least one life style feature;
monitor the premise power supply; and
disable the at least one life style feature based at least in part on the monitoring.

Abstract
A security control apparatus, system and method are provided. The security control apparatus includes a wireless communication element that supports a plurality of wireless communication protocols. The wireless communication element is configured to provide wireless communications with a user interface device and at least one premise-based device. A remote communication element is configured to provide remote communications with a monitoring center. A processor is in communication with the local wireless communication element and the remote communication element. The processor is configured to use the wireless communication element to communicate with the user interface device to receive local control and configuration data. The processor is also configured to use the remote communication element to communicate data associated with at least one of a life safety feature and life style feature with the monitoring center.
