Security monitoring method

A method for alarm verification, comprising the steps of:

• sending data representing a potential alarm event from one or more sensors to an alarm verification module;
• applying the sensor data to the alarm verification module and generating an alarm validation score indicative of the likelihood that an actual alarm condition exists;
• and
• automatically forwarding an indication of a valid alarm to a responding authority if the alarm validation score exceeds a predetermined threshold.

A method for preintrusion threat detection, comprising the steps of:

• collecting data representing a potential preintrusion threat;
• applying the collected data to a preintrusion threat verification module and generating a preintrusion threat validation score indicative of the likelihood that a preintrusion threat condition exists;
• and
• automatically forwarding an indication of a valid preintrusion threat to a responding authority if the preintrusion threat validation score exceeds a predetermined threshold.

A method of monitoring a received sensor input, comprising the steps of:

• receiving at least one real-time sensor input from at least one protected facility;
• applying the received sensor input to a signal processing unit;
• and
• displaying a graphical representation of the received sensor input, the graphical representation hyperlinked to the received sensor input.
