SECURITY SYSTEM APPLICATION
A method includes rendering, via a touchscreen, a graphical user interface comprising a first control configured to receive a selection of a location monitored by a first device and a second control configured to receive a selection of a setting to apply to a system. The system includes the first device and a second device. The second device is configured to communicate with the first device. The setting specifies a first mode of operation of the first device and a second mode of operation of the second device. The second mode of operation prohibits communication between the first and second devices. The method further includes receiving, via the touchscreen, the selection of the setting via the second control and applying the selection to the system to configure the first device to operate in a first mode and the second device to operate in the second mode.
1 . A method comprising:
rendering, via a touchscreen, an image captured by a device, the image including at least a portion of a person at a location under surveillance by a system that includes the device;
receiving, via the touchscreen, input that associates the image with a profile of a person authorized to be present at the location; and
applying a setting that defines how the system responds to detection of the person authorized to be present at the location in response to the input.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a mode of operation specifies that the system will suppress an event upon detecting the person authorized to be present at the location.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein suppressing the event comprises withholding notification of the event to a monitor interface that forms part of the system.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, via the touchscreen, input indicative of a selection of the image captured by the device; and
rendering, via the touchscreen, an identifier of the person authorized to be present at the location and an icon configured to receive the input that associates the image with the profile of the person authorized to be present at the location.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
rendering, via the touchscreen, a first control configured to receive a selection of the profile of the person authorized to be present at the location; and
rendering, via the touchscreen, a second control configured to receive a command to create a new profile.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
rendering, via the touchscreen, a control configured to initiate creation of the profile; and
rendering, via the touchscreen, a plurality of face clip controls, each of which represents one or more previously-captured images of people observed to be present at the location;
wherein the input that associates the image with the profile includes a selection of one or more of the face clip controls.
7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising rendering, via the touchscreen, a save profile screen that includes:
a first control configured to receive an identifier of the person authorized to be present at the location;
a listing of one or more images associated with the profile, the listing including the image captured by the device; and
a second control configured to receive the input that associates the image with the profile.
8 - 20 . (canceled)
21 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising, before receiving the input, rendering, via the touchscreen, data that identifies the profile of the person authorized to be present at the location.
22 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising, rendering, via the touchscreen, a plurality of existing profile controls, wherein the input comprises a selection of one of the plurality of existing profile controls.
23 . A computing system comprising a memory and at least one processor coupled with the memory, the at least one processor configured to:
render, via a touchscreen, an image captured by a device, the image including at least a portion of a person at a location under surveillance by a surveillance system that includes the device;
receive, via the touchscreen, input that associates the image with a profile of a person authorized to be present at the location; and
apply a setting that defines how the surveillance system responds to detection of the person authorized to be present at the location in response to the input.
24 . The computing system of claim 23 , wherein a mode of operation specifies that the surveillance system will suppress an event upon detecting the person authorized to be present at the location.
25 . The computing system of claim 24 , wherein suppressing the event comprises withholding notification of the event to a monitor interface that forms part of the surveillance system.
26 . The computing system of claim 23 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
receive, via the touchscreen, input indicative of a selection of the image captured by the device; and
render, via the touchscreen, an identifier of the person authorized to be present at the location and an icon configured to receive the input that associates the image with the profile of the person authorized to be present at the location.
27 . The computing system of claim 23 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
render, via the touchscreen, a first control configured to receive a selection of the profile of the person authorized to be present at the location; and
render, via the touchscreen, a second control configured to receive a command to create a new profile.
28 . The computing system of claim 23 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
render, via the touchscreen, a control configured to initiate creation of the profile; and
render, via the touchscreen, a plurality of face clip controls, each of which represents one or more previously-captured images of people observed to be present at the location;
wherein the input that associates the image with the profile includes a selection of one or more of the face clip controls.
29 . The computing system of claim 23 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to render, via the touchscreen, a save profile screen that includes:
a first control configured to receive an identifier of the person authorized to be present at the location;
a listing of one or more images associated with the profile, the listing including the image captured by the device; and
a second control configured to receive the input that associates the image with the profile.
30 . The computing system of claim 23 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to, before receiving the input, render, via the touchscreen, data that identifies the profile of the person authorized to be present at the location.
31 . The computing system of claim 23 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to render via the touchscreen, a plurality of existing profile controls, wherein the input comprises a selection of one of the plurality of existing profile controls.
32 . One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing sequences of instructions executable by at least one processor to:
render, via a touchscreen, an image captured by a device, the image including at least a portion of a person at a location under surveillance by a system that includes the device;
receive, via the touchscreen, input that associates the image with a profile of a person authorized to be present at the location; and
apply a setting that defines how the system responds to detection of the person authorized to be present at the location in response to the input.
33 . The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 32 , wherein the sequences of instructions are further executable by the at least one processor to:
render, via the touchscreen, a first control configured to receive a selection of the profile of the person authorized to be present at the location; and
render, via the touchscreen, a second control configured to receive a command to create a new profile.
