SECURITY EVENT DETECTION WITH SMART WINDOWS

Optically controllable windows and an associated window control system provide a building security platform. A window controller or other processing device can monitor for window breakage, cameras associated with windows can monitor for intruders, and transparent displays can provide alerts regarding detected activity within a building. A window control system can detect deviations from expected I/V characteristics of an optically controllable window during normal operation of the window (tint transitions, steady state conditions, etc.) and/or during application of a security-related perturbing event, and provide alerts upon their occurrence. 光可控窗和相关的窗控制系统提供了建筑物安全平台。窗控制器或其他处理设备可以监视窗户破裂，与窗户相关联的摄像机可以监视入侵者，并且透明显示器可以提供关于建筑物内检测到的活动的警报。窗控制系统可以在窗户的正常操作(色调转变、稳态条件等)期间和/或在应用与安全有关的干扰事件期间检测与光可控制窗的预期I/V特性的偏差，并在它们发生时提供警报。
