Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9713230A2] A security system comprising a monitoring centre (11) connected through a communication system to at least one control means (7) at at least one remote location, there being a two-way audio communication link between the control means (7) and the monitoring centre (11) and at least one detector (5) associated with the control means (7). Each detector (5) is operable to transmit a detector signal carrying information which can be recognised by the control means (7) as indicating whether or not there is a potential alarm situation. When such an alarm situation is detected by the control means (7) it sends an alarm signal to the monitoring centre (11). From the alarm signal received, the monitoring centre (11) is able to identify the location at which the alarm situation is occurring as well as the nature of the emergency, so that appropriate assistance can be requested.
