Method and system for responding to security system breaches via a wireless network
First Claim
1. A method for responding to security system breaches comprising:
- detecting a sever in a wireline telecommunications line interconnecting the security system to a central monitoring system, the sever dividing the wireline telecommunications line into a first portion and a second portion;
generating a high frequency modulated signal on the first portion;
receiving the high frequency modulated signal on the second portion, wherein the high frequency modulated signal is transmitted between the first portion and the second portion through the air; and
transmitting the high frequency modulated signal from the second portion to the central monitoring system.

Abstract
A method and system for responding to security system inoperability due to damage of a telecommunications line interconnecting the security system to its central monitoring service system requires origination of a wireless telephone call. A wireless unit is interconnected to the security system and originates an emergency call upon detection of telecommunications line abnormalities. Upon establishing a call connection between the wireless unit and the central monitoring service system, the wireless unit relays dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) signals which identify the security system affected by the breach so that appropriate authorities may be dispatched. In alternative embodiments, the wireless unit is programmed to place calls to other designated telephone numbers.
