Abstract
Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for notification of alarms in security systems. A packetized alarm message is received from a security system associated with a network address. The network address is associated to a notification address. A Voice-over Internet Protocol call to the notification address is initiated over a data network to alert of an alarm from a security system.

A method, comprising:
- receiving a packetized alarm message from a security system associated with a network address;
- associating the network address to a notification address;
- and
- initiating a Voice-over Internet Protocol call over a data network to the notification address to alert of an alarm from the security system.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a processor executing code stored in memory that causes the processor to:
- detect an alarm in a security system;
- retrieve a network address associated with the alarm;
- send a packetized alarm message to the network address over a wireline broadband network connection to a data network;
- and
- send the packetized alarm message over a wireless network connection to the data network when the wireline broadband network connection is unavailable.
3 more elements
A computer readable medium storing processor executable instructions for performing a method, the method comprising:
- detecting an alarm in a security system;
- retrieving a network address associated with the alarm;
- when a wireline broadband network connection is available to a data network, then sending a packetized alarm message to the network address over the wireline broadband network connection;
- when the wireline broadband network connection is unavailable, then sending the packetized alarm message over a wireless network connection to the data network;
- when the wireless network connection is unavailable to the data network, then associating the network address to a telephone number;
- and
- initiating a telephone call to the telephone number to alert of the alarm in the security system.
