Device interface for alarm monitoring systems
First Claim
1. A device interface, comprising:
- a packaging configured to be removably installed within a housing of a premises alarm device;
an input component is housed within the packaging, the input component configured to;
detect an alarm annunciation from the alarm device; and
generate input data based on the detected alarm annunciation;
a processor housed within the packaging, the processor configured to;
analyze the input data;
generate event data indicative of an alarm event, the event data being based on the analysis of the input data; and
cause transmission of at least a portion of the event data; and
a power component housed within the packaging, the power component configured to provide power to the device interface and to the alarm device.

Abstract
A device interface and method for using the interface is provided. The device interface includes a packaging configured to be removably installed within a housing of a premises alarm device. An input component is housed within the packaging in which the input component is configured to detect an alarm annunciation from the alarm device and generate input data based on the detected alarm annunciation. A processor is housed within the packaging. The processor is configured to analyze the input data, generate event data indicative of an alarm event in which the event data is based on the analysis of the input data and cause transmission of at least a portion of the event data. A power component is also housed within the packaging in which the power component is configured to provide power to the device interface and to the alarm device.
