Systems and methods for operating remote presence security
View Patent ↗A computer-implemented method for remote presence security is described. In one embodiment, an event is detected in relation to a premises. Upon detecting the event, a location of an occupant of the premises is determined in relation to the premises. Upon determining the occupant is a predetermined distance away from the premises, a first type of notification is sent. The first type of notification includes a display of real-time video being captured at the premises.
1. A computer-implemented method for remote presence security, comprising:
detecting an event in relation to a premises;
upon detecting the event, determining a location of an occupant of the premises in relation to the premises;
upon determining the occupant is a first predetermined distance away from the premises, sending a first type of notification, the first type of notification comprising a display of real-time video being captured at the premises; and
upon determining the occupant is within a second predetermined distance of the premises, sending a second type of notification, the second type of notification comprising one or more options to enable the occupant to select how to respond to the event.
2. The method of claim 1 , the first type of notification comprising an option to enable real-time two-way audio communication between a mobile device of the occupant and a device at the premises.
3. The method of claim 1 , the first type of notification comprising real-time one-way audio from a device at the premises to a mobile device of the occupant.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
upon detecting the event, communicating pre-recorded data to a device associated with an entrance of the premises.
5. The method of claim 1 , the one or more options comprising an option to send the real-time video being captured at the premises to a dedicated television channel accessed via a media delivery device.
6. The method of claim 1 , the one or more options comprising an option to respond to the event using a control panel at the premises.
7. The method of claim 1 , the one or more options comprising an option to respond to the event using a device on which the second type of notification was received.
8. The method of claim 1 , the one or more options comprising an option to notify emergency personnel regarding the event.
9. The method of claim 1 , the one or more options comprising an option to disregard the event.
10. A computing device configured for remote presence security, comprising:
a processor;
memory in electronic communication with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
detect an event in relation to a premises;
upon detecting the event, determine a location of an occupant of the premises;
upon determining the occupant is a first predetermined distance away from the premises, sending a first type of notification, the first type of notification comprising a display of real-time video being captured at the premises; and
upon determining the occupant is within a second predetermined distance of the premises, send a second type of notification, the second type of notification comprising one or more options to enable the occupant to select how to respond to the event.
11. The computing device of claim 10 , the first type of notification comprising an option to enable real-time two-way audio communication between a mobile device of the occupant and a device at the premises.
12. The computing device of claim 10 , the first type of notification comprising real-time one-way audio from a device at the premises to a mobile device of the occupant.
13. The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to:
upon detecting the event, communicate pre-recorded data to a device associated with an entrance of the premises.
14. The computing device of claim 10 , the one or more options comprising an option to send the real-time video being captured at the premises to a dedicated television channel accessed via a media delivery device.
15. The computing device of claim 10 , the one or more options comprising an option to respond to the event using a control panel at the premises.
16. The computing device of claim 10 , the one or more options comprising an option to respond to the event using a device on which the second type of notification was received.
17. The computing device of claim 10 , the one or more options comprising an option to notify emergency personnel regarding the event, and an option to disregard the event.
18. A computer-program product for enabling security, by a processor, via remote presence, the computer-program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
detect an event in relation to a premises;
upon detecting the event, determine a location of an occupant of the premises in relation to the premises;
upon determining the occupant is a first predetermined distance away from the premises, send a first type of notification, the first type of notification comprising a display of real-time video being captured at the premises; and
upon determining the occupant is within a second predetermined distance of the premises, send a second type of notification, the second type of notification comprising one or more options to enable the occupant to select how to respond to the event.
