A presence alert system includes an imaging sensor, an audio sensor and a local control panel. The imaging sensor is configured to image a presence and output associated image data. The audio sensor is configured to record a voice of the presence and output associated voice data. The local control panel includes a processor and an electronic storage medium, and is configured to receive the image data and the voice data. The processor is configured to execute an analytics application for comparing the image data and the voice data to respective stored face coordinates and stored voice prints preprogrammed into the local control panel and stored in the electronic storage medium to reduce false alarms.

The present disclosure relates to detecting presence using a low-cost radar. A transmitted signal including repetitions of a transmitted signal is emitted from a transmitting antenna. A received signal including a combination of a plurality of reflections of the transmitted signal is received at receiving antennas. For each received signal, the received signal is processed to determine whether a threshold has been exceeded. When the received signal exceeds the threshold, presence due to a motion from a moving body is determined. When the received signal does not exceed the threshold, a periodicity of the received signal is measured to determine whether the periodicity of the received signal is within a vital range, and presence due to a vital sign is determined when the periodicity is within the vital range.

An event notification system includes a wireless device, an Access Point device, a server, and a user application. The server is configured to receive a plurality of heartbeats from the wireless device and through the Access Point device, and send a heartbeat response of a plurality of heartbeat responses in response to a respective heartbeat of the plurality of heartbeats. The user application is configured to send enable and disable commands to the server. The enable command is sent to the wireless device as part of the next heartbeat response of the plurality of heartbeat responses. The disable command is sent to the wireless device after the server receives an event condition from the wireless device through the AP device.
