Text message capable alarm system

A method for Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signal transformation comprising;

• monitoring at least one sensor at a sending location via a communication network;
• detecting a trigger signal from the at least one sensor with a computing device, at the sending location, coupled to the communication network;
• creating a DTMF notice signal configured for transmission via a first transmission service with the computing device at the sending location;
• intercepting the DTMF notice signal with a conversion unit coupled between the computing device and a transmission service unit, wherein thy conversion unit converts the DTMF notice signal into a notice signal;
• transmitting the notice signal to a receiving station at a distal location using second transmission service;
• and
• wherein when the notice signal is received at the receiving station it is converted back into the DTMF notice signal for use by the receiving station;
• wherein the notice signal is transmitted as text via the at least one transmission service.

A system for Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signal transformation comprising:

• at least one receiving unit coupled to at least one transmission service at a receiving location;
• at least one receiving computing device coupled to the at least one receiving unit at the receiving location;
• at least one DTMF conversion unit coupled to the at least one sending computing device at a sending location, the at least one DTMF conversion unit configured for intercepting a DTMF notice signal transmitted from the at least one computing device at the sending location, and converting the DTMF notice signal into a notice signal that is a text version of the DTMF notice signal;
• at least one text to DTMF conversion unit coupled to at least one receiving unit at the receiving location;
• wherein the at least one text to DTMF conversion unit is utilized to convert a notice signal received by the at least one receiving unit as text into the DTMF notice signal, and the at least one receiving computing device evaluates the DTMF notice signal for the proper action based on a priority level or a set of DTMF notice signal rules.
