Abstract

A sensor associated with a security system determines an electrically open circuit. An identifier identifies the open circuit, which may then be used to retrieve video data trained to a surveillance area associated with the sensor.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
a hardware processor; and
a memory device, the memory device storing instructions, the instructions when executed causing the hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a message specifying an identifier of an open circuit detected by a takeover module of a security system;
identifying a camera that is associated with the identifier of the open circuit detected by the takeover module;
retrieving a video data generated by the camera that is associated with the identifier of the open circuit detected by the takeover module; and
sending the video data to a destination to alert of the open circuit detected by the takeover module.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise querying the camera to retrieve the video data.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise instructing the camera to generate the video data.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise determining an address associated with the camera.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise determining a destination address associated with the destination.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise determining an alarm condition based on the open circuit.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise determining an alarm condition based on the video data.

8. A method of video surveillance, comprising:
receiving, by a controller associated with a security system, a message specifying an identifier of an open circuit detected by a takeover module;
identifying, by the controller, a camera that is associated with the identifier of the open circuit detected by the takeover module;
retrieving, by the controller, a video data generated by the camera that is associated with the identifier of the open circuit detected by the takeover module; and
sending, by the controller, the video data to a destination to alert of the open circuit detected by the takeover module.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising querying the camera to retrieve the video data.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising instructing the camera to generate the video data.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising determining an address associated with the camera.

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising determining a destination address associated with the destination.

13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising determining an alarm condition based on the open circuit.

14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising determining an alarm condition based on the video data.

15. A memory device storing instructions that when executed cause a hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a message specifying an identifier of an open circuit detected by a takeover module of a security system;
identifying a camera that is associated with the identifier of the open circuit detected by the takeover module;
retrieving a video data generated by the camera that is associated with the identifier of the open circuit detected by the takeover module; and
sending the video data to a destination to alert of the open circuit detected by the takeover module.

16. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise querying the camera to retrieve the video data.

17. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise instructing the camera to generate the video data.

18. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise determining an address associated with the camera.

19. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise determining a destination address associated with the destination.

20. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise determining an alarm condition based on the open circuit.
