Security system with networked touchscreen
First Claim
1. A security system comprising:
- a monitoring system configured to monitor a premises, the monitoring system including a sensor installed at the premises and configured to detect sensor events, wherein the monitoring system is coupled to a central monitoring station via a first communication channel; and
a remote device coupled to the central monitoring station via a second communication channel and including applications that, when run on the remote device, perform operations comprising;
performing a synchronization to associate the remote device with the monitoring system;
based on the synchronization, receiving by the remote device one or more data communications descriptive of the sensor events detected by the monitoring system;
transmitting event data of the sensor events to the central monitoring station over the secondary communication channel;
displaying on the remote device a status interface that includes status information related to the monitoring system based on the received one or more data communications;
displaying on the remote device a control interface configured to receive user input to control the monitoring system;
receiving at the control interface user input defining a control operation for the monitoring system; and
based on the user input and the synchronization, initiating one or more control communications that cause the monitoring system to perform the control operation.

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 that with remote connectivity and access. The integrated security system includes a touchscreen providing security keypad functionality as well as content management and presentation, and is used as a security system interface and an interface for interacting with a network. 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, mobile phone, or other client device. Users can receive notifications of detected events via electronic message.
