Abstract
A method of operating a security system () including a plurality of sensors () and cameras (). The security system () includes a monitoring device () and a monitoring database (), at least one of which stores a plurality of contacts and notification methods for contacting the contacts. When one of the sensors () or cameras () detects an emergency condition, one of the monitoring device () or monitoring database () automatically sends a notification message to one of the contacts. If the contact rejects the notification message or does not respond, then the monitoring device () or monitoring database () automatically sends the notification message to the same contact through a different notification method or to a different contact.
