US Patent 11508234 Reducing false alarms in security system

A security system includes a security system controller and a plurality of security sensors that are operably coupled with the security system controller. The security system includes a plurality of configuration settings that define when particular alarms are to be issued by the security system based at least in part on events that are detected by the security sensors. The security system controller receives each of the events detected by the security sensors. The security system controller stores event data that includes an event type, a time value indicating when the event occurred, and an identifier of the security sensor that detected the event. The security system controller analyzes the stored event data to identify and output one or more changes to one or more of the plurality of configuration settings in order to reduce false alarms issued by a security system.
