A home security system includes a home security system that may be positioned in a home. Thus, the home security system may detect an intruder. The home security system selectively generates an alarm sequence. An alarm unit is provided and the alarm unit may be positioned in the home. The alarm unit is electrically coupled to the home security system and the alarm unit includes an array of speakers. Each of the speakers is positioned adjacent to an associated one of the motion sensors. Each of the speakers selectively emits an audible alarm when the home security system generates the alarm sequence. Each of the speakers selectively emits the audible alarm when the associated motion sensor detects motion. Thus, each of the speakers creates the illusion of the audible alarm following the intruder through the home.

This patent specification relates to apparatus, systems, methods, and related computer program products for providing home security objectives, such as calculating a security score for a home. More particularly, this patent specification relates to a plurality of devices, including intelligent, multi-sensing, network-connected devices, that communicate with each other and/or with a central server or a cloud-computing system to provide any of a variety of useful home security objectives, such as calculating a security score for a home.

A technology for configuring a lifestyle LED light with a tunable light color temperature is disclosed. The technology of tuning the light color temperature is made possible by blending two LED loads emitting light with different color temperatures thru a light diffuser with an arrangement that a first electric power delivered to a first LED load emitting light with a low color temperature and a second electric power delivered to a second LED load emitting light with a high color temperature are reversely and complementarily adjusted for tuning a diffused light color temperature such that a total light intensity generated by the LED light is kept essentially unchanged.

A system comprising a camera sensor, a circuit and an identification device. The camera sensor may be configured to generate video data of an environment. The circuit may be configured to (A) communicate with a network through a wireless connection, (B) provide an electrical connection to (i) a plurality of components and (ii) the camera sensor and (C) enable at least one of (i) the components and (ii) the camera sensor in response to an authentication signal. The identification device may be configured to generate the authentication signal. The plurality of components may be configured to implement a virtual receptionist. The video data may be transmitted to the network. The authentication signal may be transmitted using the network. The notifications may be generated by the components.

An apparatus comprising a camera sensor and a processor. The camera sensor may be configured to capture video data of an area of interest. The processor may be configured to (i) process the video data, (ii) generate control signals used to initiate security responses and (iii) execute computer readable instructions. The computer readable instructions are executed by the processor to (a) determine an activation state for the security responses, (b) determine a status of a visitor in the area of interest in response to an analysis of the video data, (c) select one of the control signals to initiate the security responses based on (i) the status of the visitor and (ii) the activation state and (d) determine a reaction of the visitor in response to the security responses.

A linkable LED lighting system designed with an on line free setting method for adjusting operating parameters of at least one LED security light is disclosed. The linkable LED lighting system comprises at least one LED security light working in conjunction with a mobile phone loaded with an APP (software application) for controlling and setting at least one lighting characteristic of the at least one LED security light including time length settings, light intensity settings, color temperature settings, detection range settings, or signal frequency range or signal format settings for screening, accepting, and processing said wireless instruction signal(s) characterized with the same signal frequency range or the same signal format.

Methods, systems and computing devices are described herein for monitoring a premises when residents or other users are present in order to detect patterns of activity at the premises. Such patterns may comprise, for example, a typical schedule indicating usage of one or more devices by one or more users of the premises. When a user is away or otherwise inactive, commands may be sent to various user devices to make it appear (e.g., to those outside the premises) as if the user is present by simulating and/or recreating the patterns that were previously detected.

A controlling device periodically captures data indicative of a state of the controlling device for use in generating a vacation mode operational data. When the controlling device is subsequently placed into a vacation mode of operation, the controlling device uses the vacation mode operational data to replicate the periodically captured state of the controlling device and, thereby, the controlling device is caused to periodically issue command communications to a controllable device for the purpose of simulating the prior usage of at least the controllable device.

Systems and method for realistic simulation of occupancy are provided herein. A context associated with one or more smart devices associated with a property is reterieved, Then, simulation content specific to the context is requested. The simulation content is then caused to be presented by the one or more smart devices.

A method and a target monitoring system (TMS) to generate descriptive parameters of one or more target objects in a region are provided. The TMS dynamically receives first data comprising image data and/or audio data of the target objects in the region and second data comprising circumstantial information related to the first data from one or more sensors positioned in one or more spatial directions in the region over a network. The TMS filters the dynamically received first data and identifies the target objects in the region using image data extracted from the filtered data. The TMS generates descriptive parameters associated with each identified target object in the region using the filtered first data and the circumstantial information.
