  • Patent number: 6693530
    Abstract: A network may receiving tracking information of various emergency services personnel, so that when a security breach has occurred at a particular location, the network may receive a surveillance profile from a computer that is disposed at the location where the detector is located, and dispatch the most geographically appropriate emergency services personnel as determined based on the tracking information. A verification protocol may be initiated by calling a predetermined sequence of telephone numbers set by the subscriber to the security system. If the subscriber provides the predetermined authorization code, the detected security breach is disregarded as being a false alarm. However, if the call recipient is unable to provide the predetermined authorization code, or if there is no answer at any of the numbers in the predetermined call sequence, the emergency services personnel are dispatched.
