Abstract

A system for use in a residential property, the system including a first computing system positionable in the residential property and including a first memory and a first processor. The system also includes a second computing system including a second memory and a second processor, the second computing system in communication with the first computing system over a network. The first memory comprises program instructions executable by the processor of the first computing system to: recognize a sound indicative of an unexpected event; retrieve, from a database stored in the first memory, an acoustic profile of the unexpected event; and responsive to the identifying the unexpected event, transmit a notification including an identity of the acoustic profile of the unexpected event to the second computing system over the network.

Claims (16)

1. A system for use in a residential property, the system comprising:

a first computing system positionable in the residential property and including a first memory and a first processor;

a second computing system including a second memory and a second processor, the second computing system in communication with the first computing system over a network;

wherein the first memory comprises program instructions executable by the processor of the first computing system to:

recognize a sound indicative of an unexpected event;

retrieve, from a database stored in the first memory, an acoustic profile of the unexpected event; and

responsive to retrieving the acoustic profile of the unexpected event, transmit a notification including an identity of the acoustic profile of the unexpected event to the second computing system over the network, the notification including a passcode to an electronic lock that controls access to the residential property.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the notification is transmitted in real-time.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the notification includes a location of the unexpected event in the residential property.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the notification is stored in the memory of the first computing device and is accessed when the first computing device is positioned in the residential property.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the notification includes instructions for responding to the unexpected event.

6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a third computing system including a third processor and a third memory, the third computing system in communication with at least one of the first computing system and the second computing system over the network, and wherein the first memory comprises program instructions executable by the first processor to:

responsive to retrieving the acoustic profile of the unexpected event, transmit another notification including the identity of the acoustic profile of the unexpected event to the third computing system over the network.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the passcode to the electronic lock is unique to the unexpected event.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the second memory comprises program instructions executable by the processor of the second computing system to:

responsive to receiving the notification, prompting an operator of the second computing device to transmit confirmation that the operator has responded to the unexpected event to at least one of the first computing device and the third computing device over the network.
