20160093202 | System and Method to Remotely Detect Alarms - A system and method for detecting the activation of at least one alarm has at least one alarm detection device, at least one alarm, and a cloud storage platform. The alarm detection device can monitor and analyze the tonal and/or vibrational qualities of a sound to determine its origin. If the sound is determined to be a warning alarm (i.e. home security system), the information associated with that detection is forward to a gateway which then forwards an alert to an end user. The alarm detection system and methodology can be used with existing alarm systems (retrofit) with little added cost to the consumer. This creates a simple and affordable monitoring solution use in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. | 03-31-2016 |
