Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
An integrated security system for managing the security of a premises to detect an intrusion onto the premises comprising: visual means for visually monitoring the premises and for providing a video signal indicative of an intrusion; alarm means for determining whether an intrusion onto the premises has occurred, the alarm means providing a signal indicative of an intrusion; access control means for providing authorized access onto the premises, the access control means providing a signal indicative of an unauthorized access; processing means interconnected with the visual means, the alarm means, and the access control means, the processing means producing a signal indicative of an intrusion onto the premises in response to receiving a signal from the visual means, the alarm means, or the access control means; and monitoring means connected to the processing means for receiving the signal indicative of an intrusion onto the premises, the monitoring means comprising a workstation having a video display means capable of displaying the video signal, and further comprising a database which provides non-video data corresponding to the video signal being displayed by the video display means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
183 words
An integrated security system for managing the security of a premises to detect an intrusion onto the premises comprising: visual means for visually monitoring the premises and for providing a video signal indicative of an intrusion; alarm means for determining whether an intrusion onto the premises has occurred, the alarm means providing a signal indicative of an intrusion; access control means for providing authorized access onto the premises, the access control means providing a signal indicative of an unauthorized access; processing means interconnected with the visual means, the alarm means, and the access control means, the processing means producing a signal indicative of an intrusion onto the premises in response to receiving a signal from the visual means, the alarm means, or the access control means; and monitoring means connected to the processing means for receiving the signal indicative of an intrusion onto the premises, the monitoring means comprising a workstation having a video display means capable of displaying the video signal, and further comprising a database which provides non-video data corresponding to the video signal being displayed by the video display means.
