Systems and techniques are described for a sensor designed to connect to and monitor devices in an ecosystem. In some implementations, a system monitors a property that includes the sensor configured to generate sensor data reflecting an attribute of the property. The sensor includes a host board that generates the sensor data and a core board connected to the host board. The core board identifies a type of the host board and communicates with a monitor control unit. The monitor control unit receives a request for firmware associated with the type of the host board from the sensor. In response, the monitor control unit accesses the firmware and transmits the firmware to the sensor. The core board of the sensor receives the firmware and stores the firmware. The core board receives the sensor data from the host board and transmits the sensor data to the monitor control unit.

A system may collect data from different sources, process and fuse the data, and distribute the processed or fused data to user devices in a near-real time manner. In an example, a processor may effectuates operations that include operations, such as receiving information from a plurality of devices at a location during a period, the information may include electronic media and location information, wherein the location information corresponds to where the electronic media was created; fusing the information from the plurality of devices, wherein the fusing includes superimposing the electronic media of the plurality of devices, wherein the electronic media includes images, video, or audio; anonymizing the fused information, wherein the anonymizing includes replacing people in the electronic media with an icon; receiving a request for an image, video, or audio associated with the location and the period; and in response to the request, providing the anonymized fused information corresponding to the location and the period.

A system for generating hazard alerts is provided. The system includes a plurality of sensor units including a plurality of sensors and a locating device, and a hazard analyzing (HA) computing device configured to communicate with the sensor units and including at least one memory device configured to store a scene definition, the scene definition defining a coordinate space of a worksite, and at least one processor configured to receive, from the sensors, a plurality of sensor measurements, receive, from the locating device of each sensor unit, at least one coordinate of the coordinate space, determine, based on the at least one coordinate, a location of the sensor unit during each sensor measurement, and determine, for at least a first sensor unit, that an alert condition is present based on the scene definition, the sensor measurements, and the determined location associated with the first sensor unit.

A server accesses a security system profile of a first security system. The security system profile identifies a plurality of sensors connected to the first security system. The server identifies a second security system based on at least a first sensor of the plurality of sensors coupled to the first security system. The server then generates a notification sharing profile for the first security system based on the security system profile. The notification sharing profile indicates that the second security system corresponds to the first sensor. A first event triggered by the first sensor causes a first notification to the second security system.

A stationary communication unit is adapted to be mounted to a headwall of a healthcare facility and forward messages between a patient support apparatus and a nurse call system. The unit includes first and second transceivers. The first transceiver may use two different communication protocols and forward audio signals from a nurse call system to the patient support apparatus (and vice versa) using a first one of the communication protocols, and emit a beacon signal using the second communication protocol. The beacon signal is adapted to be detected by electronic devices positioned in the room. The second transceiver sends a first identifier to the patient support apparatus and the first transceiver sends a second identifier to any electronic devices positioned in the room. The communication unit may also forward sensor readings to the patient support apparatus and/or to a hospital network, either directly or via a mesh network.

An emergency system can access a variety of situational data items, such as video streams, facility information, and present and past incident data. The emergency system identifies data items that may be relevant to a particular incident and provides the relevant data items in one or more user interfaces. For example, the emergency system identifies relevant data items based on the reported location of the incident and the type of incident. As additional incident information is received or entered by telecommunicators, the emergency system can further filter and surface data items likely to be useful in responding to the incident. Certain data items may only be permitted to be viewed by certain types of users, or under certain conditions. The emergency system may ensure that data items are provided to authorized users and in permitted use cases.

An autonomous facility monitoring apparatus and method in a facility can remain on at all times and functions to determine whether an unauthorized person has entered or is attempting to enter the facility and/or whether an environmental danger exists or is predicted. Continuously monitoring physical characteristics of a person and/or location of a person in the facility provides information for automatically detecting and signaling a detrimental health condition, for automatically controlling operation of apparatus of the facility, for operating gaming features, and so on.

A patient support apparatus includes a frame, a patient support surface, and a nurse call cable interface adapted to communicatively couple to a wall-mounted nurse call outlet having a plurality of pins to thereby allow the patient to communicate with a remotely positioned nurse. One or more sensors are included that detect when the cable is plugged into the nurse call outlet and/or when the bed is communicatively coupled to the nurse call system. The controller may activate an indicator when the sensor detects that the bed is not coupled to the nurse call system outlet, automatically select whether to communicate with the nurse call system via a wireless transceiver or via the nurse call cable interface based on the sensor output, and/or inform the caregiver when a headwall module spaced from the bed is not communicatively coupled to the nurse call system outlet.

The invention relates to a computer program product for configuration of a control center, in particular a fire alarm and/or extinguishing control center, and to an associated method. The computer program product comprises: a hardware configuration component for configuration of hardware components such as modules and/or front panel components of the control center, a logic configuration component for configuration of a functional logic of the control center, wherein the logic configuration component is designed to provide functional components. The functional components are decoupled from the hardware of the control center and embodied in such a way that reversible assignment of functional component to hardware component is made possible.

A system for generating hazard alerts is provided. The system includes a plurality of sensor units including a plurality of sensors and a locating device, and a hazard analyzing (HA) computing device configured to communicate with the sensor units and including at least one memory device configured to store a scene definition, the scene definition defining a coordinate space of a worksite, and at least one processor configured to receive, from the sensors, a plurality of sensor measurements, receive, from the locating device of each sensor unit, at least one coordinate of the coordinate space, determine, based on the at least one coordinate, a location of the sensor unit during each sensor measurement, and determine, for at least a first sensor unit, that an alert condition is present based on the scene definition, the sensor measurements, and the determined location associated with the first sensor unit.
