Power line communication network security system
First Claim
1. A method for use in implementing a security system, comprising:
- receiving a remote alarm message broadcast across an external power line communication (PLC) network at a first internal PLC security system coupled with the external PLC network from a remote second internal PLC security system coupled with the external PLC network with the remote alarm message comprising an alarm identifier of a local alarm message from the remote second internal PLC security system; and
triggering a local alert at the first internal PLC security system indicating that the remote alarm message has been received across the external PLC network.

Abstract
The present embodiments provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for use in implementing security systems. Some embodiments provide methods that receive a remote alarm message broadcast across an external power line communication (PLC) network at a first internal PLC security system coupled with the external PLC network from a remote second internal PLC security system coupled with the external PLC network with the remote alarm message comprising an alarm identifier of a local alarm message from the remote second internal PLC security system, and trigger a local alert at the first internal PLC security system indicating that the remote alarm message has been received across the external PLC network.

8. A power line security system comprising:
-
an alarm trigger coupled to an internal power line communication (PLC) network that communicates a first local alarm message across the internal PLC network;
a local alarm message receiver communicationally coupled to the internal PLC network that receives the first local alarm message from the alarm trigger;
a remote alarm message transmitter communicationally coupled to the local alarm message receiver, the remote alarm message transmitter transmits a first remote alarm message over an external PLC network;
a remote alarm message receiver receives a second remote alarm message from over the external PLC network; and
a local alert device communicationally coupled to the remote alarm message receiver and produces a local alert signal when the remote alarm message receiver receives the second remote alarm message from over the external PLC network. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A power line communication security system, comprising:
-
a power line communication (PLC) network interface communicationally coupled to an external PLC network, and the PLC network interface receives a remote alarm message broadcast over the external PLC network;
a local alert device that generates a local warning; and
a processor communicationally coupled with the PLC network interface and the local alert device, the processor receives the remote alarm message from the PLC network interface and activates the local alert device to generate the local warning as a notification that the remote alarm message has been received. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
