Abstract

A two-way pager alarm system for a home or business that reports to a security monitoring center in a wireless fashion. The alarm system, when required, initiates communication with the security monitoring center through the existing base station network that supports the two-way pager's communication, thereby transferring an alarm condition message to a distant security monitoring center with minimal transmission power. The message to the security monitoring center contains an individualized code which identifies the owner of the alarm system and also contains additional information, such as the alarm condition. The communication between the alarm system and the security monitoring center is based upon a two-way paging protocol such as ReFlex.TM.. At the security monitoring center the message is received and translated by a computer into specific information pertaining to the alarm system. The two-way pager technology can be incorporated into new or existing alarm systems, and can replace and/or augment other alarm communication methods.
