A method of operating a security system () including a plurality of sensors () and cameras (). The security system () includes a monitoring device () and a monitoring database (), at least one of which stores a plurality of contacts and notification methods for contacting the contacts. When one of the sensors () or cameras () detects an emergency condition, one of the monitoring device () or monitoring database () automatically sends a notification message to one of the contacts. If the contact rejects the notification message or does not respond, then the monitoring device () or monitoring database () automatically sends the notification message to the same contact through a different notification method or to a different contact.

Security system for a building

A system and method for providing an emergency contact party telephone line in response to an emergency. The system includes a user device () and a monitoring database (), which communicate with one another over the Internet (). A plurality of contacts and contact methods are stored on the monitoring database (). The contact methods for each contact are arranged in a hierarchy according to priority. When the user device () establishes an emergency condition, it communicates the emergency condition to the monitoring database (). The monitoring database () then establishes a support line, similar to a conference call line. Once the support line is set up, the monitoring database () sends a notification message of the emergency to the contacts through a first contact method. The monitoring database () then sends another notification message through a second contact method different to the first contact method to each of the contacts who did not respond to the first notification message.

System and method of providing an emergency contact party line

The subject invention provides a system and method of providing emergency response to a user carrying a user device (). The method establishes a monitoring database () including identifications for a plurality of user devices () and user information associated with each of the user devices (). An internet protocol (IP) address is established for the monitoring database () and for each user device (). The monitoring database () includes contacts to be contacted in an emergency for each user of each user device () and receives priority information for notifying the contacts. Communication is established between one of the user devices () and the monitoring database () and the monitoring database () automatically processes the priority information to notify the contact using either internet protocols or public-switched telephone networks.

System and method of providing emergency response to a user carrying a user device

The subject invention provides a method of providing emergency response to a user carrying a user device (). The method establishes a monitoring database () including identifications for a plurality of user devices () and user information associated with each of the user devices (). The monitoring database () includes a list of contacts to be contacted in an emergency for each user of each user device (). An internet protocol (IP) address is established for the monitoring database () and for each user device (). One of the user devices () is selected in the database and at least one of the selected user device () or at least one contact from the list of contacts associated with the selected user device () is notified of the emergency. The communication between the monitoring database () and the selected user device () is established over the Internet () using internet protocols to notify the selected user device () and/or the contact.
