Abstract: Supervisory signals from a first wireless security sensor are received at a first supervisory rate that repeatedly confirms that the first wireless security sensor remains operatively coupled to a security system controller. A first security sensor alarm is received from the first wireless security sensor and in response, the first supervisory rate is changed to a second, higher, supervisory rate. Supervisory signals are received from the first wireless security sensor at the second supervisory rate that repeatedly confirms that the first wireless security sensor remains operatively coupled to the security system controller. When a second security sensor alarm is received from the first wireless security sensor within a predetermined period of time after the first security sensor alarm, an alarm condition detection alarm is issued from the security system controller.
