Controlling data routing in integrated security systems
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a security network comprising a gateway with a first controller that communicates via a first network coupling with a second controller that is a component of a security system at a first location, the security system including the second controller coupled to a plurality of security system components that include at least one sensor, wherein the first controller communicates via a second network coupling with a plurality of camera devices installed at the first location, wherein the first network coupling is independent of the second network coupling and the gateway separately controls exchange of data between components of the first network coupling and the second network coupling; and
a security server located at a second location different from the first location, the security server coupled to the gateway, the security server and the gateway communicating to control routing of a video stream from the plurality of camera devices to a requesting client device that is remote to the first location and the second location;
wherein a format of the video stream is automatically selected based on at least one of a determined capability of a network coupling a camera device of the plurality of camera devices to the requesting client device and the requesting client device.

Abstract
An integrated security system integrates broadband and mobile access and control with conventional security systems and premise devices to provide a tri-mode security network having remote connectivity and access. The integrated security system delivers remote premise monitoring and control functionality to conventional monitored premise protection and complements existing premise protection equipment. The integrated security system integrates into the premise network and couples wirelessly with the conventional security panel, enabling broadband access to premise security systems. Automation devices can be added, enabling users to remotely see live video or pictures and control home devices via a personal web portal or other client device. Camera management enables automatic configuration and management of cameras in the premise network. The camera management extends to remote control and monitoring from outside the firewall of the premise network to include routing of images or video from a streaming source device to a requesting client device.

96. A security network comprising:
-
a gateway having a first controller, wherein the first controller communicates via a first network coupling with a second controller that is a component of a security system at a first location, wherein the second controller is coupled to a plurality of security system components that include at least one sensor; a plurality of cameras coupled to the gateway and forming a premise security network at the first location, wherein the first controller communicates via a second network coupling with the plurality of cameras installed at the first location, wherein the first network coupling is independent of the second network coupling and the gateway separately controls communication between components on the premise security network and the plurality of security system components; and a server located at a second location different from the first location, the server coupled to the premise security network via the gateway, the server and the gateway controlling delivery of a video stream from the plurality of cameras to a remote client device that is remote to the first location and the second location; wherein a format of the video stream is automatically selected based on at least one of a determined capability of a network coupling a camera of the plurality of cameras to the remote client device and the remote client device.
