1. A security panel, comprising:
- a sensor subsystem configured to receive sensor input from a plurality of physical sensors directly interfaced to the sensor subsystem;
a virtual sensor subsystem configured to receive a virtual sensor input from an enrolled virtual sensor source as a virtual sensor and provide the virtual sensor input to the sensor subsystem, wherein the enrolled virtual sensor source is independent from the plurality of physical sensors directly interfaced to the sensor subsystem; and
a monitoring subsystem configured to provide an alert based on detection of an alert condition associated with at least one of the physical sensors and to provide the alert based on detection of a virtual alert condition associated with the virtual sensor, wherein the virtual sensor input further comprises metadata to display on a user interface as additional details associated with the alert.

Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a security panel configured to interface with virtual sensors. The security panel includes a sensor subsystem configured to receive sensor input from a plurality of physical sensors. A virtual sensor subsystem is configured to receive a virtual sensor input from an enrolled virtual sensor source as a virtual sensor and provide the virtual sensor input to the sensor subsystem. A monitoring subsystem is configured to provide an alert based on detection of an alert condition associated with at least one of the physical sensors and to provide the alert based on detection of a virtual alert condition associated with the virtual sensor.

13. A method for virtual sensor management on a security panel, comprising:
-
receiving a request at the security panel to add a virtual sensor; enrolling a virtual sensor source through a virtual sensor subsystem of the security panel, the enrolled virtual sensor source configured to provide a virtual sensor input of the virtual sensor, wherein the enrolled virtual sensor source is independent from a plurality of physical sensors directly interfaced to a sensor subsystem; configuring the virtual sensor to establish a virtual alert condition; initiating monitoring of the virtual sensor in addition to monitoring of the plurality of physical sensors through the sensor subsystem of the security panel that establishes a security perimeter; receiving metadata in the virtual sensor input from the enrolled virtual sensor source; outputting an alert based on detection of the virtual alert condition associated with the virtual sensor; and outputting additional details associated with the alert from the metadata to a user interface. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
