Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for reducing and/or eliminating false positive alarm triggers. Detector devices positioned throughout an environment scan for known events that are likely indicative of an alarm condition. A source device that may generate such a sound or image may imprint a fingerprint on to the event that can be detectable by the detector devices but is imperceptible to humans. Additionally, the detector devices may use directionality and known locations of source devices to determine if a triggering event occurred at a known location of a source device. An alarm suppression decision may occur at the detector device and/or relevant information may be sent from the various detectors to a central console for a final alarm decision.
