Systems and methods for broadcasting an audio or visual alert that includes a description of features of an ambient object extracted from an image captured by a camera of a doorbell device are provided. Such systems and methods can include the camera capturing the image when the ambient object is within a field of view of the camera and a processor receiving the image from the camera, processing the image with an artificial intelligence model to identify and extract details of the features of the ambient object, and initiating a broadcast of the audio or visual alert by an alert device associated with the camera, wherein the audio or visual alert can include the description of the features of the ambient object.

A method and system are provided, wherein a user can log in to a first cloud based server using a selected communications device. Upon log in, a selected plurality of video cameras is activated to simultaneously provide respective streaming video from each of the selected plurality of video cameras to a second cloud based server. Upon designation of a first member of the selected plurality of video cameras, the first member streams the respective streaming video from the first member to a communications device of the user, and streaming from all other members of the selected plurality of video cameras is terminated.

System and method of video streaming

A method for using a security system to monitor a secured area is provided. The method includes a first processor of the security system providing a status of the security system, including an active status output signal and a disarmed status output signal, a video system monitoring the secured area by capturing and locally saving images, and a second processor of the video system activating one or more video cameras of the video system monitoring an interior space of the secured area upon receipt of the active status output signal and deactivating the one or more video cameras upon receipt of the disarmed status output signal.

Method and apparatus for activating and deactivating video cameras in a security system

A communications scheme enables a central communications station to assist two communications systems located behind firewalls that prevent communication initiated from an external data network to establish direct communication with each other. In one embodiment, the systems separately establish communications with the central communications station and obtain from it the connection information (e.g., IP address, port, etc.) of the other. The systems then directly communicate with each other using the obtained connection information while pretending to be the central communications station. In another embodiment in which the firewalls include NAT devices that implement network address translation, the systems exchange connection information for establishing a new connection through the central communications station and then complete a three-way handshake with the assistance of the central communications station, thereby allowing the central communications station to remove itself from the communication.

Method for permitting two parties to establish connectivity with both parties behind firewalls

This invention relates to accessing security systems through a communication system such as the Internet, a LAN or a WAN, using a virtual remote keypad application which includes an audio capability to enhance user understanding of the security system's status. The virtual remote keypad application receives status information from the user's security system and audibly announces a change in status to the user.

Remote service audible arming state annunciation

An auto-connect virtual keypad in one aspect allows for automatic notification of events occurring at a security system control panel to a remote consumer device and/or provides remote access to the control panel from a consumer device by providing a virtual keypad interface on the consumer device. The consumer device in one aspect may include a mobile device or desktop.
