1. A presence alert system comprising:
an imaging sensor configured to image a presence and output associated image data;
an audio sensor configured to record a voice of the presence and output associated voice data; and
a local control panel including a processor and an electronic storage medium;
wherein the local control panel is configured to receive the image data and the voice data, the processor is configured to execute an analytics application for comparing the image data and the voice data to respective stored face coordinates and stored voice prints preprogrammed into the local control panel and stored in the electronic storage medium to reduce false alarms;
wherein the analytics application is configured to convert the image data and the voice data into respective detected face coordinates and a detected voice print;
wherein the local control panel is configured to generate and transmit a verified presence alarm message to a remote station upon confirmation that at least one of the detected face coordinates do not compare to the stored face coordinates and the detected voice print does not compare to the stored voice print;
wherein the verified presence alarm message includes the detected face coordinates and the detected voice print;
wherein the remote station is operable to initiate or facilitate actions of a first responder; and
wherein the remote station is further operable to access identification data and use the identification data to attempt to identify the presence using the detected face coordinates and the detected voice print.
