Abstract

A two-way wireless security system network includes a security system including condition sensors. The security system generates a first signal type according to a first signal protocol in response to a condition detected by the sensors. A two-way wireless communication subsystem is in communication with the system and includes a microprocessor for converting the first signal into standard over-the-air wireless protocol. A wireless interface unit transmits a second signal type corresponding to the standard over-the-air wireless protocol to a wireless communications carrier service and receives over-the-air data from the communications carrier service, convertible to instructions and conveyable to the security system. A computing device communicates with the wireless communications carrier service and includes a database table for converting the second signal type into a predefined signal format usable by a monitoring company and includes a conveyance device for conveying the predefined signal format to the identified monitoring company.

Claims

1. A two-way wireless security system network comprising:

a security system including one or more sensors, said security system generating a first signal type according to a first signal protocol in response to a condition detected by said one or more sensors;

a two-way wireless communication subsystem including a microprocessor for converting said first signal type into a standard over-the-air wireless protocol and a wireless interface unit for transmitting a second signal type corresponding to said standard over-the-air wireless protocol to a wireless communications carrier service and for receiving over-the-air data from said wireless communications carrier service which is convertible to instructions and conveyable to said security system; and

a computing device in communication with the wireless communications carrier service including a database table for converting said second signal type into a predefined signal format usable by an identified monitoring company and including a conveyance device for conveying said predefined signal format to said identified monitoring company.

2. A method of operating a wireless security system network comprising:

generating a first signal type based on a condition sensed by a security sensor,

converting said first signal type into a standard over-the-air wireless protocol,

transmitting a second signal type corresponding to said standard over-the-air wireless protocol to a wireless communications carrier service,

converting said second signal type into a predefined signal format usable by an identified monitoring company, and

conveying said predefined signal format to said identified monitoring company.
