Abstract
A remote device for monitoring property protected by a security system. The security system has at least one physical sensor and comprises a module for wirelessly sending and receiving signals. The remote device comprises a receiver module and transmitter module whereby signals may be received and sent using various wireless technologies. A data port on the device allows a user to customize parameters according to user needs via a data connection between the device and computer, personal digital assistant or smart phone. A panic button on the remote device allows a user to alert a pre-selected designee. The remote device may also comprise a custom application running on a smart phone comprising that allows a user to monitor property. The remote device may be part of a security monitoring system or used in a method for monitoring the status of property protected by a security system.
