Abstract
A video security system ( ) monitors a premises (F) to detect unwanted intrusions onto the premises. A site control unit ( ) obtains and evaluates the images to determine if an intrusion has occurred, and provides an indication if an intrusion is detected. A central station (CS) includes a plurality of workstations ( ), and a central alarm computer ( ). The computer is responsive to an alarm indication to cause video images, and audio, to be transmitted to the central station for presentation at one of the workstations selected by the computer. Additionally, the computer supplies site specific data to the workstation for display with the video images. Control signals from the workstation back to the site are routed through the computer.
