1. An on-site local area security system for transmitting alarm messages to notify local security personnel of an alarm situation, the system comprising:
- a plurality of alarm devices, each alarm device located on-site about the local area for transmitting a first alarm signal indicative of an alarm situation that occurs on-site within the local area;
an alarm panel for receiving the first alarm signal and, in response to receiving the first alarm signal, sending a second alarm signal;
an on-site paging unit for receiving the second alarm signal and, in response to receiving the second alarm signal, locally transmitting an alarm message; and

Abstract
On-site local areas security systems and methods utilize an on-site paging unit. A system includes a plurality alarm devices, an alarm panel, an on-site paging unit, and at least one pager. The alarm panel receives an alarm signal from an alarm device and sends a second alarm signal that is received by the on-site paging unit. In response to receiving the second alarm signal, the on-site paging unit locally transmits an alarm message. The pagers receive the alarm message from the paging unit to notify the local security personnel of the alarm situation.
