摘要

A method and system used by a central monitoring station (200) to monitor and control a local installed security system (100). The method includes programming into a receiver (210) and identifier for a local security system (100) to be captured and controlled. Programming a control instruction for the local installed system (100) into a receiver (210). Transmitting the control instruction to a local security system (100). The method and apparatus allows a central monitoring station (200) to obtain control of an installed security system (100) even in the case where ownership of the security system (100) has changed hands and the identification number has changed. The apparatus includes a plurality of receivers and transmitters (210) for transmitting information between the central monitoring station (200) and a plurality of installed security systems (100), an automation computer (220) for processing received messages form the installed security systems (100), and a configuration computer (230) that configures and controls the installed local security systems (100).
