False alarm reduction in security systems using weather sensor and control panel logic

InactiveUS7218217B2Burglar alarm by glass breakingElectric signalling detailsThe InternetFalse alarm

A security system that secures a building includes a weather detector for detecting weather conditions, such as thunder or high winds, which are likely to cause false alarms in sensors such as an acoustic glass break sensor, shock sensor and vibration sensor. The weather detector may include a sensing component that senses atmospheric conditions external to the building, such as temperature, pressure, wind speed and / or lightning. The weather detector may also include a component for receiving a data communication, such as from a radio, Internet, or telephone link, indicating that the weather condition is present in a vicinity of the building. The security system operates in a bad weather mode by requiring corroboration of intrusion detection signals from the sensors that can cause false alarms.

Control system for electrochromic devices

ActiveUS20060018000A1Effective controlBurglar alarm by glass breakingNon-linear opticsElectricityControl system

A control system for an electrochromic (EC) device is capable of monitoring the temperature of the EC device without requiring an external temperature monitoring element, and then controlling the EC device based, in part, upon the temperature readings. The control system also provides methods for heating the EC device using current flowing through the device and for simultaneously heating and changing the transmissivity level of the device. The controller also provides security feedback by detecting glass breakage via a high frequency impedance measurement of the EC device. The controller also provides for methods of determining the bleaching / coloring history of the EC device, determining the transmission state of the EC device and applying a holding voltage to maintain the transmission state of the EC device.

A system and method for detecting glass breakage using thermal imaging is provided. The system includes an infrared image detector for acquiring an infrared image of a monitored area, and a signal processor for processing the acquired images to determine removal of a glass door or window based on a comparison of the thermal signature of the acquired image against the thermal signature of a reference image. Specifically, signal processor subtracts the reference image data from the acquired image data, which results in a substantially uniform image when the acquired image matches the reference image. On the other hand, the image resulting from the subtraction exhibits significant non-uniformity when the acquired image does not match the reference image, as would be the case if the pane of glass of a door or window were broken, removed or opened.
