System and method for analyzing faulty event transmissions

A system for identifying faulty event transmissions for use with a system comprising a plurality of alarms and an alarm panel associated with a monitored building, a receiver associated with a central monitoring facility, and a machine-readable storage medium encoded with a computer program code that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform a method comprising:

• receiving event signal data from the alarm panel;
• processing the event signal data at the receiver;
• recording the event signal data in memory associated with the receiver;
• determining whether the event signal data conforms to a predefined parameter or protocol;
• identifying the recorded event signal data as data to be overwritten if the event signal is recognized by the receiver;
• and
• identifying the recorded event signal data as data to be saved if the event signal is not recognized by the receiver.
