A delayed unlocking push-down type emergency door-locking device includes a main lock seat, a secondary lock seat, a push-down type handle assembly, a position-sensing module and a timing electromagnetic traction assembly. The push-down type handle assembly is configured for moving along a driving path from a locking position toward an unlocking position, thereby at least one of locking element of the main lock seat is separated from a locking groove to unlock. A stopper is disposed at the secondary lock seat, configured for moving between a stop position and an avoidance position. The timing electromagnetic traction assembly is configured for counting time upon when the position-sensing module detects the push-down type handle assembly is separated from the locking position, and for pulling the stopper from the stop position to the avoidance position after delaying a predetermined delay time to the unlocking position for delaying.

A building alarm system and automated door lock arranged to place the alarm system in an armed state when a door lock fails to engage to lock an associated door in a closed position. Activation of a single button by a user or use of specific code by a user to gain access to a building can cause the alarm system to automatically rearm and for door locks at the building to be locked after entry by the user. A first responder code can be used by first responder personnel to gain access to a building after an alarm system indicates an alarm state, e.g., that corresponds to an emergency condition.

A system for monitoring a dwelling includes at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon. The instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to detect a status change of a door at the dwelling, activate a camera to monitor an area proximate the door in response to the status change, and deactivate the camera following the door transitioning from open to closed and prior to a lock associated with the door being locked. The camera continues to be activated until the door is closed.
