A system and method is provided for indicating a masking event using transmission wiring delegated for indicating intrusion and tampering events. The method of indicating a masking event utilizes measurable changes in resistance to indicate the current masking state of a detector. When a detector is not masked, a first resistance value is measurable on the transmission wiring, while when a detector is masked, a second resistance value is measurable on the transmission wiring. The transmission wiring connects the detector to a control unit that executes a security-related response based on the value of the measured resistance.
