System and method for monitoring security at a premises using line card
First Claim
1. A security system for monitoring security within at least one premises, comprising:
- at least one audio sensor and an alarm panel connected to the audio sensor and each located at the premises and generating alarm report data, wherein the alarm panel transmits the alarm report data through a communications network connected thereto; and
at least one alarm receiver located at central station remote from the premises that receives the alarm report data transmitted from the alarm panel through the communications network, and comprising a line card that receives the alarm report data and an alarm receiver processor that receives and processes regulated alarm report data in accordance with Underwriter Laboratories 1610 requirements, and further comprising a central station automation system, wherein said line card is operable for receiving non-regulated alarm report data that is not regulated in accordance with Underwriter Laboratories 1610 requirements and establishing a bi-directional link for the non-regulated alarm report data between the central station automation system and the alarm panel at the premises until the bi-directional link is no longer required.

Abstract
A security system includes at least one audio sensor and alarm panel, each located at a premises and generating alarm report data through a communications network to at least one alarm receiver located at a central station remote from the premises. A line card receives the alarm report data. An alarm receiver processor receives and processes regulated alarm report data in accordance with Underwriter Laboratories 1610 requirements. A line card is operable for receiving non-regulated alarm report data that is not regulated in accordance with Underwriter Laboratories 1610 requirements and establishing a bi-directional link for the non-regulated alarm report data between any central station automation system and the alarm panel at the premises until the bi-directional link is no longer required.
