Takeover Processes In Security Network Integrated With Premise Security System

Abstract

An integrated security system is described comprising a gateway located at a first location. The gateway includes a takeover component that establishes a coupling with a first controller of a security system installed at the first location. The security system includes security system components coupled to the first controller. The takeover component automatically extracts security data of the security system from the first controller. The gateway automatically transfers the security data extracted from the controller to a second controller. The second controller is coupled to the security system components and replaces the first controller.

1 . A method comprising:
 automatically establishing a coupling between a security system and a gateway comprising a takeover component, the gateway and the security system located in a first location;   automatically extracting, via the gateway, security data of a security system from a first controller of the security system, the security system including security system components; and   automatically forming a security network that includes a second controller coupled to the security system components and the gateway, wherein the second controller replaces the first controller, the gateway using the security data extracted from the first controller to integrate communications and functions of the security system components into the security network.
