Methods, systems, and products for security systems
Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for notification of alarms in security systems. A packetized alarm message is received from a security system associated with a network address. The network address is associated to a notification address. A communication to the notification address is initiated to alert of an alarm from a security system.
1. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
memory storing code that when executed causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a polling message at a security system;
retrieving a hybrid polling scheme that tests multiple connection mechanisms to a security system, the hybrid polling scheme testing the multiple connections with a single polling cycle, the multiple connections selected from a wireless cellular network connection, a wireline broadband network connection, and a short message service;
forcing a single response to the polling message, the single response selected from:
a wireline response over the wireline broadband network connection in response to receipt of the polling message over one of the wireless cellular network connection and the short message service;
a wireless response over the wireless cellular network connection in response to receipt of the polling message over one of the wireline broadband network connection and the short message service;
a short message service response using the short message service in response to receipt of the polling message over one of the wireline broadband network connection and the wireless cellular network connection;
determining dual connectivity based on successful receipt of the single response;
detecting an alarm in the security system;
retrieving an Internet protocol network address to notify of the alarm; and sending a packetized alarm message.
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving confirmation that the single response was received.
3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a response that indicates the wireline broadband network connection is available.
4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a response that indicates a short message service is available.
5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise storing the Internet Protocol address.
