Definitions
- the present invention relates to electronic hardware and computer software, and in particular, to a method and process for configuring a premises for the installation of monitoring devices.
- electronic security systems are configured to provide a wide range of security services in both residential and commercial settings.
- the types of monitoring devices utilized by a particular security system to perform the system service depend greatly on the sophistication of the security system configuration and the overall function of the security system.
- a majority of conventional security systems include intrusion detecting devices, such as door or window contacts, glass break detectors, motion detectors and the like.
- CCTV closed-circuit television
- badging systems badging systems
- asset tracking, and access control devices and sensors are also utilized.
- the configuration of the security system is based on the function the system will serve.
- a typical electronic security system may be used to provide smoke, fire, and/or carbon monoxide detection. Accordingly, the system would utilize one or more smoke, fire and/or carbon monoxide detectors within one or more locations on the premises.
- the security system may also be utilized to provide motion or access detection as well as general video and audio monitoring of the premises. Accordingly, the system would utilize ingress or egress sensors and/or video cameras within the premises.
- contract or in-house security guard and patrol services are employed in a range of industrial commercial, public and private settings.
- the primary functions of the security guard may include direct visual surveillance, the monitoring of security cameras or other security devices, a reception or access control and authorization function, and incident response.
- a security guard may also be used to monitor a number of CCTV screens arranged in a bank formation. Accordingly, the security guard accepts the variety of inputs and makes a determination of a security alert, such as an unauthorized entrance.
- monitoring device data such as the CCTV data
- additional users such as a remote monitor, a quality control supervisor, the owner of the premises, or emergency or public safety authorities.
- a single security guard may not be capable of processing all of the possible monitoring data sources simultaneously, thereby reducing the effectiveness of multiple monitoring devices.
- Another security system configuration utilizes external monitors to provide the security services.
- external monitoring systems are more cost effective than a dedicated on-premises monitor.
- most external monitoring systems have a limited effectiveness in being unable to extensively provide and/or review detailed security information.
- most conventional external monitoring systems cannot incur the expense of providing a sufficient amount of communication bandwidth to transmit continuous video/audio feeds from every monitored premises.
- the external monitoring service detects an unauthorized entry into a premises, such as through a signal from a detecting device
- the monitoring service typically dispatches emergency or public safety authorities to investigate and determine the extent of the detected event. In a vast majority of cases, the alarm is false and the premises owner incurs a fine for having the authorities verify the incident.
- the monitoring service cannot provide the public safety authorities with sufficient information to assess the situation with monitoring devices, thereby putting the authorities at greater risk.
- the remote monitoring service Similar to the dedicated on-premises monitoring, the remote monitoring service also cannot concurrently process the device information to multiple authorized users for various purposes. For example, a premises owner may need to access video data to locate a pet within the premises, while emergency or public safety personnel would need to access the same video data to identify the location of a victim. In both cases, the monitoring service likely cannot provide the information to the user on a wide scale basis.
- Some conventional security system configurations attempt to integrate at least some security monitoring devices to better detect alarm conditions from a remote user.
- a security system monitor (either remote or on-premises) may detect an unauthorized entry from a motion detector and confirm it by utilizing a video camera.
- these systems are directed towards a combination of video surveillance and are limited into being processed solely for the detection of an intrusion or the verification of an intrusion.
- These systems generally cannot accept additional non-security information inputs that relate generally to the management of the premises and that are outside of the scope of conventional security monitoring.
- these systems are deficient in that the data cannot be processed concurrently or distributed to multiple authorized users.
- the monitoring devices used for these functions are often produced by different manufacturers and employ manufacturer-specific communications protocols.
- the monitoring devices are typically not configured to be accessible through a common access point for reporting and control. Accordingly, most of the monitoring devices are installed within a premises as independent sub-systems of a security system. The configuration of each of these systems, and often of each of the devices within a system, requires a separate configuration and installation process.
- a system and method for configuring an integrated information system through a common user interface are provided.
- a user accesses a graphical user interface and selects client, premises, location, monitoring device, and processing rule information.
- the graphical user interface transmits the user selection to a processing server, which configures one or more monitoring devices according to the user selections.
- a method for configuring monitoring devices through a central interface is provided.
- the method can be implemented in an integrated information system in communication with a number of monitoring devices.
- a central server obtains a selection of at least one client associated with the integrated information system, a selection of at least one premises associated with the selected client, within the integrated information system, a selection of at least one location wherein the selected location is associated with an identifiable attribute of a premises, a selection of one or more monitoring devices associated with the selected location, and a selection of one or more processing rules associated with one or more selected monitoring devices.
- the central server configures the integrated information system according to the selected client, premises, location, monitoring device and processing rule data.
- the client, premises, location, monitoring device and processing rule data selections are obtained from a common user interface.
- a method for configuring monitoring devices through a central interface may be implemented in an integrated information system in communication with a number of monitoring devices and including a computer system having a display and user input device.
- a computing device displays on the computer system display a set of available integrated information system clients and obtains a selection from the user input device of at least one client associated with the integrated information system.
- the computing device then displays on the computer system display a set of available premises corresponding to the selected client and obtains a selection from the user input device of at least premises associated with the selected client.
- the computing device also displays on the computer system display a set of available locations corresponding to the selected premises, wherein the selected location defines an identifiable attribute of the selected premises and obtains a selection from the user input device of at least one location corresponding to the selected premises.
- the computing device further displays on the computer system display a set of available monitoring devices corresponding to the selected locations and obtains a selection from the user input device of one or more monitoring devices corresponding to the selected location.
- the computing device displays on the computer system display a set of processing rules associated with each selected monitoring device and obtains a selection from the user input device of one or more processing rules associated with each selected monitoring device, wherein the selected processing rule can include a default processing rule.
- the computing device transmits the selected client, premises, location, monitoring device and processing rule data for configuration of the integrated information system.
- the selected client, premises, location, monitoring device and processing rule data is obtained from a common user interface.
- an integrated information system includes one or more monitoring devices operable to obtain and transmit monitoring data corresponding to a specified premises.
- the integrated information system also includes at least one processing server operable to communicate with the one or more monitoring devices.
- the processing server is further operable to configure each monitoring device.
- the integrated information system further includes a computer display operable to generate a user interface for obtaining a user selection of client, premises, location, monitoring device, and processing rule data and to transmit the data to the processing server.
