1. A security system comprising:
- an imaging device positioned at a secured location;
a computer system associated with a security system central monitoring station, said computer system configured to;
receive real-time imagery data from said secured location;
process the received imagery data;
generate additional information associated with the received imagery data;
identify an appropriate response agency from amongst a plurality of response agencies based on at least one of the additional information and the imagery data; and
transmit the received imagery data and the additional information to a computer system associated with a response agency.

Abstract
A security alarm system that provides secure, realtime video and/or other realtime imagery of a secured location to one or more emergency response agencies over a high-speed communications link, such as an Internet link. Realtime video and/or realtime imagery, along with other useful information is therefore placed directly into the hands of those who are called upon and trained to respond to a potential emergency. As such, the emergency response agencies and their personnel are better informed. This, in turn, allows the personnel to be better prepared in their response to potential emergencies or acts of terrorism, saving manpower, money, lives and reducing the number of false alarms.
