First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer implemented method for providing an alarm signal, the method comprising:
- gathering, at a monitoring server, monitor data from one or more remote sensors located at a location that is monitored by the monitoring server and that is remote from the monitoring server;
based on the monitor data, waiting, by the monitoring server, for a notification message within a predetermined period of time that indicates an occurrence of at least one or more expected events;
determining, by the monitoring server, that alarm signal generation or transmission equipment at the location has been disabled or destroyed based on the notification message not being received within the predetermined period of time; and
sending, by the monitoring server, an alarm signal via an alarm signaling communication path based on the determination that alarm signal generation or transmission equipment at the location has been disabled or destroyed.

Abstract
A system and method provide for the immediate transmission of a potential alarm to a remote alarm signal escrow site and from the escrow site to a host station in the event where a control panel or an alarm signaling device is tampered with or destroyed by a disablement tactic, e.g., a “crash and smash intrusion.” A system and method may also send an alarm signal during such an attack by using predictive analysis of real-time events.
