Integrated security network with security alarm signaling system

A system comprising:

• a gateway coupled to a security system, wherein the gateway and the security system are at a first location;
• and
• a security server at a second location different from the first location, wherein the security server is coupled to the security system and receives a first signal from the security system via at least one remote network, wherein, in response to the first signal, a heartbeat signal is initiated that monitors health of the security system, wherein the security server detects a failure of the heartbeat signal and generates a report and sends the report to a central monitoring station, wherein the report is an electronic report that indicates failure of the security system, wherein the security server receives a second signal and generates a second report when the detecting of a failure occurs after receipt of the second signal.
