Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0055825A1] The present invention is generally directed to a system for monitoring a variety of environmental and/or other conditions within a defined region. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a system is configured to monitor alarm condition in a defined area. The system is implemented by using a plurality of wireless transmitters (102, 104, 108), wherein each wireless transmitter is integrated into an alarm. The system also includes a plurality of repeaters (110, 112) that are dispersed throughout the region at defined locations. By defined locations, it is meant only that the location of the repeaters are known to a central computer (120). The computer may be informed of the repeater location after installation of the repeaters, as the installation location of the repeaters is not limited. Further, the system includes a computer that is configured to receive information communicated from the repeaters, and includes means for reporting the alarm condition to a remote location (122).
