1. A monitoring system, comprising:
- one or more monitoring devices configured to generate respective video signals;
a control circuit including;
a local area network (LAN) interface configured and arranged to receive the video signals generated by the one or more monitoring devices; and
a wide area network (WAN) interface; and
a logic circuit coupled to the LAN and WAN interfaces, the logic circuit configured and arranged to;
in response to a request for remote access by a user via the WAN interface and the control circuit operating in an alarm state, allow the user remote access to the video signals; and
in response to a request for remote access by the user via the WAN interface and the control circuit operating in a non-alarm state, deny the user access to the video signals.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a monitoring system is provided. The system includes one or more monitoring devices configured to generate respective video signals, and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to allow a user remote access to the video signals in response to a request for remote access by the user via the WAN interface and the control circuit operating in an alarm state. The control circuit is configured to deny the user access to the video signals in response to a request for remote access by the user via the WAN interface and the control circuit operating in a non-alarm state.
