Systems and devices for broadband communication with an alarm panel
First Claim
1. A communications system for an alarm panel comprising:
- an alarm panel adaptor in operable communication with the alarm panel generating analog alarm signals;
a first powerline communications device in operable communication with a the alarm panel adaptor converting the analog alarm signals to powerline alarm signals;
a second powerline communications device receiving the powerline alarm signals over an electrical grid and converting the powerline alarm signals to internet protocol alarm signals; and
a broadband connection in operable communication with the second powerline communications device for transmitting the internet protocol alarm signals to a remote central control station.
