Remote online utilization of video data for analyzing potential alarm events from an automatic alarm network includes the following. A premise-protecting control panel communicates with a sensor, providing a message in some or all cases of sensor signals. A remote receiver receives the messages of the control panel. A camera device is combined with the sensor for acquiring video data that allows further analysis into the matter of a given sensor-detected event. The camera device is configured with stateless network communication protocols and server processing to achieve network service of video data upon request. Correspondingly, the receiver is configured with compatible stateless network communication protocols and then also browser processing wherein the receiver can transmit network requests to the camera device for network service of said video data. The foregoing achieves remote online analysis of the video data in the matter of the given sensor-detected event.

A communication path integrity supervision system is provided for a network of automatic alarm data transmissions. A plurality of alarm data transmitters are linked by diverse paths with a central receiver for such automatic alarm data, wherein the responsibility for carrying out integrity supervision has been largely shifted onto the remote transmitters—each responsible for its own path or paths—and shifted away from the central receiver to the extent required by the prior art “receiver-polling” protocol. Hence each transmitter generates and sends to the central receiver a succession of check-in messages. The central receiver responds to each such message by updating a table of such messages, scheduling or rescheduling the next check-in as applicable to that particular remote transmitter. An alert is signaled whenever any remote transmitter fails to meet its scheduled or rescheduled check-in. Given the foregoing, the integrity of the communication paths are supervised.

A communication path integrity supervision system is provided in a network system that allows communication of automatic alarm data. This involves a network, needless to say, in which a plurality of automatic alarm data transmitters are linked by diverse paths with at at least one central receiver on the network for receiving the automatic alarm data. In this integrity supervision system, the responsibility for carrying out the integrity supervision functions have been largely shifted onto the remote transmitters--each responsible for its own path or paths--and shifted away from the central receiver to the extent required by the prior art "receiver-polling" protocol. That is, each transmitter includes circuits for generating and sending to the central receiver a succession of "next promised check-in" messages, to be on schedule as promised. The central receiver responds to the reception of each such message by updating a table of such messages, scheduling or rescheduling the promised occurrence for the next check-in message as applicable to that particular remote transmitter. The central receiver is further configured with an alert signal for signaling whenever any remote transmitter fails to meet its scheduled or rescheduled next promised check-in.

A combination cordless telephone and premise-monitoring alarm system has a base unit, a cordless handset, and one or more remote alarm detectors. The alarm detectors can be generally either smoke detectors, motion detectors, or open-entry detectors. The base unit includes at least one interface for the public telephone network, and another interface for radio communication with the cordless handset. The base unit preferably also communicates with the remote alarm sensors across the same radio interface. The base unit includes telephone call circuitry to relay telephone calls between the public telephone network and the handset. The base unit also includes alarm processing circuitry to send an alarm warning to a central alarm-monitoring station in response to an alarm signal from a remote detector. The base unit has control circuitry that is configured such that if, during a telephone call, the base unit is given an alarm signal, the base unit will either (i) hang up the telephone call and call up the central alarm-monitoring station to give warning, or (ii) call up the central alarm-monitoring station on a second telephone line (if available).

A direct-wire alarm system for scanning and monitoring a plurality of security alarm systems located in various user's facilities. The device monitors each line sequentially and converts current levels present on each line to a digital value. A digital filter is utilized to eliminate periodic line noise while a second digital filter is utilized to eliminate pulse noise. The system further comprises a line ringing system for notifying the user of a line condition and an adjustable comparator for obtaining high resolution of line current values.
