MONITORING

(IVM)

PROCESS

FIELD

OF

THE

INVENTION

[0001]

This

invention

Will

document

a

process

to

verify

alarm

signals

from

an

unlimited

number

of

intrusion

detec

tion

systems

and/or

video

devices.

This

process

utilizes

video

to

provide

additional

information

to

a

central

station

operator

at

a

central

station,

but

more

particularly,

this

invention

Will

document

hoW

to

associate

a

video

device

With

an

alarm

signal

to

facilitate

the

connection

betWeen

the

central

station

and

the

monitored

location’s

video

device

after

the

alarm

signal

from

the

monitored

location

has

been

received

by

the

central

station.

BACKGROUND

OF

THE

INVENTION

[0002]

False

Alarms

caused

by

Intrusion

detection

sys

tems

are

increasing

in

number

every

year.

The

number

of

false

alarms

Police

and

Fire

Departments

respond

to

far

eXceed

the

number

of

legitimate

alarms.

Central

stations

dispatch

the

Police

and

Fire

Departments

When

they

are

noti?ed

of

the

possibility

of

an

event

(burglary,

holdup,

?re

alarm

etc.)

rather

than

When

an

event

has

been

veri?ed

(With

video)

by

the

central

station

operator.

It

is

the

intention

of

this

invention

to

provide

central

station

operators

the

oppor

tunity

to

verify

(With

video)

all

incoming

alarm

signals

from

any

monitored

location

prior

to

dispatching

anyone

to

the

monitored

location.

This

process

Will

signi?cantly

reduce

the

number

of times

Police

and

Fire

Departments

are

required

to

respond

to

false

alarms.

Since

the

mid-1990’s

video

devices

have

been

capable of

transmitting

video

to

central

stations.

HoWever,

central

stations

have

not

been

able

to

utiliZe

video

devices

to

verify

alarm

signals

because

video

devices

cannot

be

monitored

using

the

same

process

as

intrusion

detection

devices.

[0003]

An

understanding

of

the

current

process of

moni

toring

intrusion

detection

devices

is

provided

to

appreciate

the

problems

associated

With

attempting

to

monitor

video

devices

using

the

same

process.

[0004]

Example

of

the

current

process

used

to

monitor

intrusion

detection

devices:

National

Alarm

Computer

Cen

ter

(NACC/WWW.nacchq.com)

monitors

upWards

of

250,000

intrusion

detection

devices

at

as

many

monitored

locations.

They

accomplish

this

by

utiliZing

alarm

processing

devices

(alarm

receivers)

to

receive

alarm

signals

(account

number,

event

type,

event

time)

from

intrusion

detection

devices.

The

intrusion

detection

devices

typically

communicate

to

the

alarm

processing

device

using

a

standard

telephone

line.

[0005]

The

alarm

processing

device’s function

is

to

cap

tures

the

alarm

signal

and

then

disconnects

the

incoming

phone

line to

make

the

phone

line

available

for

the

neXt

intrusion

detection

device

at

the

central

station,

and

for

the

operator

to

call

the

monitored

location

and

verify

the

alarm

siganal

[0006]

After

the

alarm

processing

device

receives

the

signal

and

disconnects

from

the

intrusion

detection

device

the

alarm

processing

device

transfers

the

alarm

signal

to

the

central

station

softWare.

The

central

station

softWare

places

the

alarm

signal

into a

queue

along

With

the

other

alarm

signals

Which

are

Waiting

for

delivery

to

the

neXt

available

operator.

The

queue

prioritiZes

the

alarm

signals

by

type

Sep.

23,

2004

(?re,

medical

panic,

hold

up,

burglary,

etc.)

and

event

time.

The

central

station

softWare

selects

the

highest

priority

alarm

signal,

combines

the

alarm

signal

With

the

customer

account

record

(address,

oWner’s

phone

number,

Who

to

call

list,

response

instructions,

local

police

department

phone

number,

local

?re

department

phone

number,

etc.),

and

delivers

the

alarm

condition

With

the

customer

account

record

to

the

neXt

available

operator.

[0007]

Example

Response

by

an

Operator

to

a

Burglary:

The

operator

calls

the

monitored

location’s

phone

number

and

asks

the

person

Who

ansWers

the

phone

for

their

name

and

passWord.

If

there

is

no

ansWer

at

the

location

or

the

person

Who

ansWers

doesn’t

knoW

the

passWord,

the

opera

tor

dispatches

the

police.

[0008]

NACC

uses

central

station

softWare

manufactured

by

Monitoring

Automation

Systems

(MAS/WWW.monauto

.com)

to

accomplish

the

above

eXample.

MAS

and

other

video

device

manufacturers

Were

contacted

and

asked

to

create

a

solution

for

NACC.

NACC

began

marketing

Inter

active

Video

Monitoring

services

in

With

permission

from

the

inventors

to

use

the

IVM

process.

The

inventors

created

the

process

of

Interactive

Video

Monitoring

(IVM)

after

a

detailed

investigation

of

the

present

process

of

monitoring

intrusion

detection

devices.

In

order

to

test

the

neW

IVM

process of

a

prototype

application

needed

to

be

created.

This

required

softWare

modi?cations

to

a

central

station

moni

toring

softWare

and

to

a

video

device

manufacturers

soft

Ware.

[0009]

The

IVM

process

is

required

to

monitor

a

large

number

of

video

devices.

[0010]

Listed

beloW

are

the

methods

currently

being

deployed

by

central

stations

to

monitor

video

devices:

[0011]

Solution

1:

basis

(one

client

to

one

video

device).

[0012]

Solution

2:

Fulltime

connections

display

video

to

the

central

station

by

connecting

to

the

video

device

on

a

continuous

basis

(one

client

to

a

limited

number

of

video

devices).

[0013]

Solution

3:

When

there

is

an

alarm

condition

the

video

device

contacts,

connects

to

and

streams

video

to

the

central

station

and

displays

the

video

to

the

central

station

operator

(one

video

device

to

one

client).

[0014]

Solution

When

there

is

an

alarm

condition

the

video

device

and

displays

the

video

to

the

central

station

operator

(limited

number

of

video

devices

to

one

client).

[0015]

Solution

5:

When

there

is

an

alarm

condition

the

video

device

contacts,

connects

to

and

streams

video

to

the

central

station

and

stores

the

streaming

video

to

a

video

storage

device Within

the

central

station

(limited

number

of

video

devices

to

one
