Abstract

A server accesses a security system profile of a first security system. The security system profile identifies a plurality of sensors connected to the first security system. The server identifies a second security system based on at least a first sensor of the plurality of sensors coupled to the first security system. The server then generates a notification sharing profile for the first security system based on the security system profile. The notification sharing profile indicates that the second security system corresponds to the first sensor. A first event triggered by the first sensor causes a first notification to the second security system.

Claims (47)

1. A method comprising:

detecting, at a server, an event generated by a first sensor that is externally coupled to a first security system;

in response to detecting the event, identifying a second security system that is mapped to the first sensor; and

generating, at the server, a message indicating the event

wherein the first sensor is a water sensor, wherein the event indicates a water leak, wherein the first security system and the first sensor are located in a first geographical location, wherein the second security system is located in a second geographical location that is below the first geographical location.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

mapping the first sensor to the second security system.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

mapping an identification and a type of the first sensor to the second security system.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

communicating the message to the second security system, the second security system configured to generate an alert based on the message.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

communicating the message to a device registered with the second security system.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, at the server, a remote command from the second security system in response to communicating the message to the second security system; and

providing the remote command to the first security system.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

accessing, at the server, a notification sharing profile of the first security system, the notification sharing profile comprising a mapping of the event, an identification of the first sensor, a type of the first sensor, and the second security system.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

accessing, at the server, a notification sharing profile of the first security system, the notification sharing profile comprising a mapping of the event, an identification of a second sensor externally connected to the first security system, a type of the second sensor, and the second security system.

9. A server comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the server to perform operations comprising:

detecting an event generated by a first sensor that is externally coupled to a first security system;

in response to detecting the event, identifying a second security system that is mapped to the first sensor; and

generating a message indicating the event,

wherein the first sensor is a water sensor, wherein the event indicates a water leak, wherein the first security system and the first sensor are located in a first geographical location, wherein the second security system is located in a second geographical location that is below the first geographical location.

10. The server of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

mapping the first sensor to the second security system.

11. The server of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

mapping an identification and a type of the first sensor to the second security system.

12. The server of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

communicating the message to the second security system, the second security system configured to generate an alert based on the message.

13. The server of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

communicating the message to a device registered with the second security system.

14. The server of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a remote command from the second security system in response to communicating the message to the second security system; and

providing the remote command to the first security system.

15. The server of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

accessing a notification sharing profile of the first security system, the notification sharing profile comprising a mapping of the event, an identification of the first sensor, a type of the first sensor, and the second security system.

16. The server of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

accessing a notification sharing profile of the first security system, the notification sharing profile comprising a mapping of the event, an identification of a second sensor that is externally connected to the first security system, a type of the second sensor, and the second security system.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer- readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:

detecting, at a server, an event generated by a first sensor that is externally coupled to a first security system;

in response to detecting the event, identifying a second security system that is mapped to the first sensor; and

generating, at the server, a message indicating the event

wherein the first sensor is a water sensor, wherein the event indicates a water leak, wherein the first security system and the first sensor are located in a first geographical location, wherein the second security system is located in a second geographical location that is below the first geographical location.
