Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to a telecommunications management system (TMS) that receives an indication from a first user to participate in a telecommunication. The TMS can identify a characteristic of the first user and compare the characteristic with one or more characteristics of each user of a pool of users. The TMS can select, based on the comparison, a second user of the pool of users that matches the first user. The TMS can initiate, responsive to selecting the matching second user, an anonymous telecommunications channel between the first user and the second user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for delaying transmission of an alarm signal responsive to detecting delay actions indicative of progress towards confirming or denying the alarm signal are provided and can include an alarm processing device receiving the alarm signal and determining whether a user device is enrolled in an alarm notification service. When the user device is enrolled in the alarm notification service, the alarm processing device can transmit a notification to the user device, start a delay timer, and determine whether a first delay action associated with the user device is detected prior to expiration of the delay timer. When the first delay action is detected prior to the expiration of the delay timer, the alarm processing device can alter the delay timer consistent with a next delay action associated with the user device and, when the delay timer expires, transmit the alarm signal to the central monitoring station.
