The disclosure presents a system for remotely managing emergency equipment through wireless network and methods to use this system to monitor emergency equipment and deliver emergency information to subscribers. The system for remotely managing emergency equipment includes at least a node, also called as end user emergency equipment, a remote server, and a plurality of direct and indirect subscriber devices. The remote server receives data collected from each node, processes the node data, and sends the processed data to direct and indirect subscribers to manage emergency equipment. The system can improve the efficiency on collision avoidance, emergency warning, and emergency vehicle dispatch management.

The present invention is a software as a service platform providing a system and method enabling interactive services between the end-users, emergency responders, and central monitoring stations. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the system provides an electronic notification of an alarm event to an end-user by way of a secure hyperlink to a web portal. The web portal provides a method enabling the end-user to interact with the central monitoring station and/or the emergency responders as well as view live and historical data from the alarm event including video. The system is configured to acquire historical video and data from the actual alarm triggering event from a variety of disparate sources including devices associated with life safety systems and lifestyle systems. The present invention, by enabling interactive services between the end-users, emergency responders, and central monitoring stations, provides better information and a better understanding of the alarm triggering event thereby informing decision making processes of the end-users, emergency responders, and central monitoring stations.

Systems and methods for emergency event reporting and emergency notification are provided herein. An example method includes monitoring a location of one or more devices of a plurality of devices, selecting an environmental safety condition for the one or more devices using the location, and selecting a device behavior for the one or more devices, the device behavior including a physical response produced by the one or more devices that is based on the environmental safety condition and the location.

A computer-implemented method and system for synchronizing a mass notification. A method includes detecting an update in a configuration at a control panel over a first communication channel, and generating an update notification message based at least in part on the detection. The method can also include transmitting the update notification message over a second communication channel to synchronize an MNS with the update in the configuration at the control panel.

A digital video alarm temporal monitoring computer system includes a digital video analytics server including a digital video analytics computer. The digital video analytics computer has non-transitory memory configured to store machine instructions that are to be executed by the digital video analytics computer. The machine instructions when executed by the computer implement the following functions: receiving a temporal digital video alarm monitoring parameter; receiving identifying data indicative of digital video data from a transmitting network camera; determining a digital video alarm monitoring status in response to the temporal digital video alarm monitoring parameter and the identifying data; and transmitting or analyzing the digital video in response to the digital video alarm monitoring status being the active status. The digital video alarm monitoring status includes an active status and an inactive status.

A digital video alarm analytics computer system includes a digital video analytics server including a digital video analytics computer having non-transitory memory storing machine instructions that are executed by the digital video analytics computer. The machine instructions when executed by the computer implement the following functions: receiving a digital video clip associated with a region of interest; motion analyzing the digital video clip to detect a motion location of a motion within the region of interest; object analyzing the digital video clip to detect an object, an object type of the object and an object location of the object within the digital video clip in response to detecting the motion location within the region of interest; and transmitting an alarm event signal to an alarm server in response to determining the object type is associated with an alarm analytics tag and the object location intersecting the region of interest.

A digital video alarm loitering monitoring system. The system includes a digital video analytics server including a digital video analytics computer having non-transitory memory configured to store machine instructions that are to be executed by the computer. The machine instructions when executed by the computer implement the following functions: obtaining a digital video snapshot from a digital video stream in response to detecting a loitering event indicator based on a potential loitering object; object analyzing the digital video snapshot to detect a detected object, a detected object type and a detected object location within the digital video snapshot; determining an active monitoring loitering object in response to the potential loitering object and the detected object; and repeating the obtaining, object analyzing and determining functions to determine a loitering condition.

A digital video alarm monitoring computer system. The system includes a computer having non-transitory memory configured to store machine instructions that are to be executed by the computer. The machine instructions when executed by the computer implement the following functions. The functions include receiving identifying data indicative of digital video data. The functions further include transmitting a digital video alarm status query. The functions also include receiving a digital video alarm monitoring status in response to transmitting the digital video alarm monitoring status query. The digital video alarm monitoring status may include an active status and an inactive status. The functions may further include transmitting or analyzing the digital video data in response to the digital video alarm status being the active status.

A digital video alarm situational monitoring computer system includes an alarm monitoring computer having non-transitory memory configured to store machine instructions that are to be executed by the computer. The machine instructions when executed by the computer implement the following functions: receiving a first digital video clip associated with a first digital video alarm event and a second digital video associated with a second digital video alarm event; displaying a first icon of the first digital video alarm event and a second icon of the second digital video alarm event on a graphical user interface; and simultaneously playing the first digital video clip and the second digital video clip on the graphical user interface.

A facility alert system is provided. The system includes a plurality of remote units, wherein each unit includes a housing having a plurality of controls thereon. Each of the plurality of remote units is in wireless communication with each other via a wireless transceiver disposed within the housing. Each of the plurality of controls illuminates a corresponding indicator light disposed on each housing of the plurality of remote units when actuated. Upon actuation of one of the plurality of controls, an alert signal is transmitted to emergency services via the wireless transceiver. In some embodiments, a vibration motor is disposed within each housing, whereupon actuation of one of the plurality of controls, each vibration motor activates to vibrate each housing in a pattern corresponding to each control.
