DETAILED DESCRIPTION 1.
System Overview The APPLICANT Event Notification System will provide a significant increase in the quality and reliability of communication between central stations and the many agencies and organizations that need accurate alarm system related information, promptly delivered.
The APPLICANT Event Notification System will provide a high level of security-of-access between central stations and data terminals.
That means the police and fire departments receiving information will know that only authorized central stations will be able to send them event messages.
Unauthorized companies, individuals, terrorists, and so on, will not be able to send false messages to tie up police and/or fire department personnel with bogus alarm transmissions.
Alarm systems in residences and businesses are most often monitored by alarm company central stations.
These central stations receive various signals from control equipment located on protected premises (i.
e.
at subscriber locations).
Some signals alert the central station to immediate emergencies like burglary, fire, hold-up, and medical emergency.
Other signals indicate non-immediate emergencies such as heating system failure, industrial process system malfunction, or power outage.
Additional signals may merely report equipment or wiring problems within the alarm systems themselves.
When police fire department, or paramedic notification is appropriate, a central station operator will pick up a telephone, dial the appropriate public response agency, and tell the responding person which alarm company is calling, the name and address of the subscriber, the type of protection being provided (burglar alarm, fire alarm, etc.
), and whatever additional information is important.
Sometimes such information will include directions for finding the address, the location of the sensor detecting the emergency, and the type of sensor involved.
The provided information is then verbally relayed to responding squad cars, fire stations, and/or ambulances by the public response agency's dispatcher
