Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for security control of a facility is provided, including devices, a network operations center (NOC), and control nodes. The devices are within the facility, each consuming a portion of a resource, and each performing a corresponding function when actuated. The NOC is external to the facility, and generates run time schedules, where the run time schedules coordinate actuation times for the each of the devices to maintain security for local security environments, and adjusts the run time schedules based upon occupancy levels generated by the NOC, where the occupancy levels are exclusively generated based on consumption of the resource and outside temperature. The control nodes are within the facility, each coupled to a corresponding one of the devices, where the control nodes are coupled together via a building security network that is operatively coupled to the NOC, control nodes execute selected run time schedules to actuate the devices.
