Premises security
View Patent ↗A computer-implemented method for premises security is described. In one embodiment, a person passing through a perimeter of a predefined area is detected via a boundary sensor. Upon detecting the person passing through the perimeter of the predefined area, a camera is activated to capture an image of the person, the camera being positioned in relation to the predefined area. A notification is sent to a user determined to be nearest to the predefined area. The notification may include the image of the person. A proximity of a person in relation to a vehicle is detected via a proximity sensor. Upon determining the proximity of the person satisfies a predetermined threshold, a notification is sent to a user. Upon determining the proximity of the person satisfies the predetermined threshold, a camera positioned in relation to the vehicle is activated.
1. A method for premises security, the method comprising:
detecting, via a boundary sensor, a person passing through a perimeter of a predefined area and approaching an asset located within the predefined area;
detecting that a proximity of the person in relation to the asset satisfies a predetermined threshold;
upon detecting that the proximity of the person in relation to the asset satisfies the predetermined threshold, activating a camera to capture an image of the person, the camera being positioned in relation to the predefined area;
determining whether the person approaching the asset located within the predefined area is identifiable;
generating a notification based at least in part on an identity of the person approaching the asset and a setting of a policy defined by a user determined to be nearest to the predefined area; and
sending the generated notification for display on a device associated with the user, the notification being sent based at least in part on a content being currently viewed on the device, and the notification including the image of the person.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
sending the notification to a monitoring agency according to the setting of the policy defined by the user.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
monitoring, via an asset sensor, a status of the asset located within the predefined area.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
detecting a movement in relation to the asset, wherein the asset sensor comprises an accelerometer, the notification indicating detected movement of the asset.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
providing a prompt in the notification, the prompt comprising at least a first option to enable activation of an alarm.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
upon waiting a predetermined amount of time without a response, automatically activating the alarm, wherein the prompt comprises a second option to deactivate the automatic activation of the alarm.
7. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
tracking a location of the asset via the asset sensor, wherein the asset sensor comprises a global positioning system (GPS) sensor, the notification indicating the location of the asset.
8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
providing a tracking channel in a channel guide among channels of a television programming service, the notification comprising a link to the tracking channel; and
displaying the location of the asset on the tracking channel.
9. A computing device configured for premises security, comprising:
a processor;
memory in electronic communication with the processor, wherein the memory stores computer executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform the steps of:
detecting, via a boundary sensor, a person passing through a perimeter of a predefined area and approaching an asset located within the predefined area;
detecting that a proximity of the person in relation to the asset satisfies a predetermined threshold;
upon detecting that the proximity of the person in relation to the asset satisfies the predetermined threshold, activating a camera to capture an image of the person, the camera being positioned in relation to the predefined area;
determining whether the person approaching the asset located within the predefined area is identifiable;
generating a notification based at least in part on an identity of the person approaching the asset and a setting of a policy defined by a user determined to be nearest to the predefined area; and
sending the generated notification for display on a device associated with the user, the notification being sent based at least in part on a content being currently viewed on the device, and the notification including the image of the person.
10. The computing device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions executed by the processor cause the processor to perform the steps of:
sending the notification to a monitoring agency according to the setting of the policy defined by the user.
11. The computing device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions executed by the processor cause the processor to perform the steps of:
monitoring, via an asset sensor, a status of the asset located within the predefined area.
