    selecting, by the monitoring server, a permissible camera from the camera permissions;

    sending, from the monitoring server, the video request over a packet data network to the Internet protocol address assigned to the security system, the video request requesting video data associated with the alarm code;

    receiving, at the monitoring server, the video data associated with the alarm code of an alarm detected by the security system;

    querying, by the monitoring server, a central notification database for the Internet protocol address assigned to the security system, the central notification database associating different Internet protocol addresses assigned to different security systems to different notification addresses;
