A control device in a premises security system is provided. The control device receives a voice command or a touch-based input to initiate an enrollment of a premises device in a premises security system and synthesizes a plurality of audio clips for playback on a speaker. Each audio clip requests respective premises device information. In response to playback of the audio clips, the control device receives a plurality of voice responses, maps each of the plurality of voice responses to a plurality of respective attributes of a premises device, determines a premises device configuration or a premises security system configuration based at least in part on the plurality of respective attributes, and enrolls the premises device in the premises security system based at least in part on the premises device configuration or the premises security system configuration.

Voice activated premises device enrollment in a security system

A management device for a premises security system that is configured to monitor a premises is provided. The management device includes an ultra-wideband (UWB) transceiver configured to provide a coverage area, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is in communication with the UWB transceiver and configured to detect a UWB device within the coverage area, determine a distance of the UWB device from the management device based on signaling received from the UWB transceiver, determine a movement vector of the UWB device based on the signaling received from the UWB transceiver, and initiate a premises security system action based on the distance and the movement vector.

Premises security system using ultra-wideband (UWB) functionality to initiate at least one action

A premises device associated with a premises security system includes a three-dimensional (3D) depth sensor and a camera and processing circuitry in communication with the camera and the 3D depth sensor. The processing circuitry in the premises device generates a two-dimensional (2D) template of a face based on an image captured by the camera. The 2D template indicates a facial characteristic associated with the person's face. A 3D mapping of the facial characteristic is generated using data from the 3D depth sensor. At least one of an emotional state or facial gesture is determined based on the 3D mapping. The premises security system performs a security action based on the at least one of the determined emotional state or facial gesture.

Alarm system facial recognition

According to some embodiments, a premises security system that is configured to monitor a premises is provided. The premises security system includes a multi-function premises device including a multi-axis accelerometer for monitoring the premises according to at least one of a plurality of sensor types where the multi-function premises device is configured to generate device data including accelerometer data associated with the multi-axis accelerometer. The premise security system includes a security control device configured to receive the device data, analyze the device data based on one of the plurality of sensor types, and initiate a premises security system action based on the analysis.

Multi-function sensor type for premises security systems

A system is provided. The system includes a premises sensor configured to detect a premises condition, a premises security control device configured to obtain data from the premises sensor representing the premises condition, the premises security control device is further configured to communicate with a remote monitoring center, a user interface device is configured to communicate with the premises monitoring control device. The user interface device includes a plastic housing, a liquid crystal display (LCD) removably secured to the plastic housing, a fingerprint sensor mounted in a fixed position relative to the plastic housing and the LCD, and processing circuitry configured to: receive fingerprint data from the fingerprint sensor, determine that the fingerprint data meets an authentication criterion, and in response to determining that the fingerprint data meets the authentication criterion, trigger a premises security system action.

Embedded fingerprint sensor for a premises security system

A method, system and device(s) are disclosed. According to some embodiments, a premises security system is provided. The premises security system includes a premises device including a sensor for detecting a premises security event, an energy storage element in electrical communication with the sensor, a radio frequency (RF) antenna configured to receive RF energy from an RF source, and energy harvesting circuitry in electrical communication with the RF antenna and the energy storage element, and processing circuitry configured to cause transmission of sensor data indicating the premises security event to a security control device, and where the security control device is configured to receive the sensor data, and perform an action based at least on the sensor data.

Premises security system with wireless energy harvesting

A method implemented by a security sensor device is provided. The security sensor device receives a user input, performs a biometric authentication of a user associated with the user input, modifies a state of the security sensor device based at least in part on the biometric authentication and the user input, detects a sensor trigger when the security sensor device is in the modified state, determines a sensor indication based at least in part on the sensor trigger, the state of the security sensor device subsequent to being modified, and the user input, and transmits the sensor indication to a premises security control device. The sensor indication is configured to cause the premises security control device to perform at least one premises security action.

Biometric authentication for security sensor bypass

A primary lock device is provided which is configured to wirelessly communicate with a premises security system hub device and at least one secondary lock device in a premises security system. The primary lock device receives a lock configuration, receives a user input, authenticates the user input, and engages or disengages a locking mechanism based at least in part on the lock configuration and a result of authenticating the user input. The primary lock device determines a lock indication based at least in part on the lock configuration and a result of authenticating the user input, and transmits the lock indication to at least one secondary lock device for engaging or disengaging at least one respective lock mechanism of the at least one secondary lock device.

Multi-locking mechanisms for premises security systems

An overlay device for premises status message display on a video monitor is provided. The overlay device includes a processor in communication with a memory, the memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive a premises status message from at least one premises device, receive a media signal for display on the video monitor, combine the media signal with the premises status message, and transmit the combined media signal and premises status message for display of the combination of the media signal and the premises status message by the video monitor.
