Abstract
An alarm system communicator monitors alarm event data output from an alarm panel to a communications path, irrespective of whether the alarm system communicator is in an active or a passive mode. The alarm event data is forwarded to a remote central monitoring station (CMS) over another communications path while the alarm system communicator is operable in the active mode, and not forwarding the alarm event data to the CMS while operable in a passive mode. At least a portion of the alarm event data is forwarded to a secondary monitoring station (SMS), at least while the CMS communications module is in the passive mode. Further, there may be forwarding of at least a portion of the alarm event data to the SMS, irrespective of whether the alarm system communicator is in the active mode or the passive mode.
