Abstract
A detector is described. The detector includes one or more environmental sensors that measures a predetermined environmental parameter, a processor that compares the measured parameter with a plurality of threshold values and detects that the measured parameter exceeds one of the plurality of threshold values and constructs a message to a person associated with the exceeded threshold value and an Internet protocol network interface that forwards the constructed message to the person.
Claims19
An alarm system comprising:
- one or more environmental condition detectors located within a secured area of the alarm system;
- and
- a wired or wireless network within the secured area that directly interconnects the one or more environmental condition detectors with a local alarm panel of the alarm system, the local alarm panel monitoring the one or more environmental condition detectors for indication of fire,
- wherein each of the one or more environmental condition detectors further comprises:
- a detector element that measures a value of a predetermined environmental parameter;
- an auxiliary reporting system that reports a status of measured values of the corresponding environmental condition detector independent of the monitoring associated with the local alarm panel;
- a plurality of report message files included within the auxiliary reporting system, each of the plurality of report message files being associated with a predetermined person and including a text message, an Internet address of the predetermined person and a threshold value;
- a processor that compares the measured value of the parameter with a respective threshold value of each of the plurality of report message files, detects that the measured value of the parameter exceeds one of the respective threshold values and constructs a message to the predetermined person associated with the one of the report message files with the exceeded threshold value;
- and
- an Internet protocol network interface that forwards the constructed message to the predetermined person.

An alarm system comprising:
- a plurality of environmental condition detectors of the alarm system;
- and
- a local alarm panel of the alarm system that monitors the plurality of environmental condition detectors for indication of a fire,
- wherein each of the plurality of environmental condition detectors further comprises:
- a sensor element that measures a value of a predetermined environmental parameter;
- an auxiliary reporting system that reports a status of measured values of the corresponding environmental condition detector independent of the monitoring associated with the local alarm panel;
- a plurality of report message files included within the auxiliary reporting system, each of the plurality of report message files being associated with a predetermined person and including a text message, an Internet address of the predetermined person and a threshold value;
- and
- a processor that compares the measured parameter value with a respective threshold value of each of the plurality of report message files, determines that the measured environmental value of the parameter exceeds the threshold value of one of the plurality of report message files, constructs a message incorporating the text message and Internet address associated with the one of the plurality of report message files and sends the constructed message to the Internet address of the person associated with the one of the plurality of report message files.

An alarm system comprising:
- an environmental detector that reports an alarm to a local alarm panel of the alarm system, wherein the environmental detector further comprises:
- a sensor element that measures a value of a predetermined environmental parameter;
- an auxiliary reporting system that reports a status of measured values of the environmental detector independent of the reported alarm associated with the local alarm panel;
- a plurality of report message files included within the auxiliary reporting system, each of the plurality of report messages files being associated with a predetermined person and including a text message, a respective threshold value and a destination Internet address of the predetermined person associated with the report message file;
- and
- a processor that compares the measured value of the parameter with the respective threshold value of each of the plurality of report message files, detects that the measured value of the environmental parameter exceeds the respective threshold value of one of the plurality of report message files, incorporates the text message and destination Internet address from the one of the plurality of report message files into a user message and sends the user message to the destination Internet address of the person associated with the one of the plurality of report message files.
