Systems, methods, and processes end to end digitization of alarm transmission for improved safety outcomes

A method, comprising:

• communicating information between an alarm system control panel and an alarm system monitoring station device using a first communication path;
• and
• communicating information between the alarm system control panel and an alarm monitoring software application using a second communication path, wherein the first communication path and the second communication path are different types of communication paths selected from the group including:
• a public switched telephone network path, a proprietary network communicating using a proprietary software code from a manufacturer other than an alarm system control panel manufacturer, and a communication path using proprietary network software code used by the alarm system control panel manufacturer.

A system, comprising:

• an alarm system control panel;
• an alarm system monitoring station device;
• an alarm monitoring software application;
• a first communication path for communicating information between the alarm system control panel and the alarm system monitoring station device;
• a second communication path for communicating information between the alarm system control panel and the alarm monitoring software application, wherein the first communication path and the second communication path are different types of communication paths;
• and
• a third communication path for communicating information between the alarm monitoring software application and the alarm system monitoring station device.
