Techniques for adapting workflows based on time to respond are provided. An electronic indication that a trigger has been detected by a sensor is received. The workflow server is configured to execute an action in a workflow in response to the trigger. An alert is sent to a device associated with a user to request a response from the user. Reception of the response is the action in the workflow. The response from the user is received. It is detected that a current response time for the trigger exceeds a threshold response time. A pattern that indicates response times for triggers of the trigger type recurrently exceed the threshold response time is detected. A proposed modification to the workflow or to a standard operating procedure (SOP) of an entity is generated. An electronic message is sent to a system administrator that recommends implementing the proposed modification.

Systems and methods for identifying at risk building sites. The security system includes a processing circuit configured to receive building security data from the plurality of building sites, the building security data indicating one or more vulnerability time periods for each of the plurality of building sites and determine an average vulnerability time period associated with each of the plurality building sites based on the one or more vulnerability time periods. The processing circuit can also be configured to determine a tunable threshold associated with the average vulnerability time period; determine whether each of the plurality of building sites are at risk by determining whether a current vulnerability time period for each building site is greater than the tunable threshold associated with the average vulnerability time period; and generate a report indicating one or more of the plurality of building sites that are at risk.

In a fire alert system energy is harvested from a wire line pair (408) used to provide primary electrical power from a fire panel central monitoring station to a plurality of remote devices (406). The fire panel central monitoring station begins communications with a remote device by modulating the voltage on the wire line pair so as to communicate a first message (502) to one of the plurality of remote devices. Thereafter, one of the remote devices will respond to the first message with a second message (504) by modulating the voltage on the line pair. Energy is selectively harvested from the wire line pair at one or more of the remote devices in accordance with the remote device address specified in the first message.

Disclosed is a security system configured to provide an extra layer of security for any given premises. The system includes a monitoring device worn by a person of interest, usually a criminal out on parole. The system also includes a plurality of proximity sensors that detect the presence of signals emitted by the monitoring device. When detected, the proximity sensors relay identifying information from the monitoring device to a security panel. The security panel then alerts local law enforcement to the potential threat so they may respond accordingly. The present disclosure also includes a method of altering law enforcement with particular identifying data of an intruder. Lastly, the system to may be used to create a secure, wireless tether to track the safety and location of a dependent (e.g., a child, pet, or livestock).
